Lactofiltrum-Eco - description and instructions for use

Characteristics of Lactofiltrum

Compound

• Lactulose is a synthetic disaccharide (galactose + fructose). It is not absorbed through the mucous membranes of the stomach and small intestine, but dissolves only in the large intestine and due to this, natural fermentation processes are activated in it and the growth of lacto- and bifidobacteria occurs. Pathogenic microorganisms die as a result of the destruction of their membranes by formic, acetic and lactic acids, which are formed when lactulose and water combine in the intestines.
• Lignin is a naturally occurring enterosorbent based on wood microparticles. They are able to adsorb bacterial, fungal, viral agents and toxic substances.

The balanced composition of the drug allows it to be used not only in the treatment of intestinal infections, but also for dyspeptic disorders that arise during antibacterial therapy. This approach is explained by the fact that antimicrobial agents destroy not only harmful, but also beneficial intestinal microflora, therefore most doctors advise taking Lactofiltrum for prevention from the first days of antibiotic treatment.

Lactofiltrum for allergies: indications for use, effectiveness and dosage

Allergies are one of the most common problems of modern people. More than 80% of the world's population is susceptible to it.

This disease causes discomfort and interferes with everyday life. Every year the number of people with an allergic reaction to a particular substance is growing. Therefore, medicine and pharmaceuticals pay great attention to drugs that help relieve allergy symptoms. Lactofiltrum, used for allergies, is known as one of the most effective means in the fight against the disease.

It activates the process of removing toxins from the body, but also helps normalize the composition of the intestinal microflora.

In addition, Lactofiltrum has been recognized as safe according to the results of various studies. Therefore, it has no contraindications even for children. This product contains only two active ingredients. These are hydrolyzed lingin and lactulose. They perform the main functions in treatment.

In addition to these substances, Lactofiltrum contains magnesium stearate and croscarmellose sodium. A huge advantage of the drug is its natural ingredients. All components are of natural origin.

Lingin is able to contain a variety of harmful substances on its surface:

• alcohol;
• medicines;
• allergens;
• exotoxins;
• salts of heavy metals;
• endotoxins;
• pathogenic microflora.

Lingin not only copes with allergic reactions, but also has antidiarrheal, antioxidant and detoxification effects. This active substance does not have the ability to penetrate into the blood. It is eliminated from the body in one day, which is also a huge advantage and sets it apart from other medications for allergic reactions. Lactulose works in the colon to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria.

This component inhibits the growth of harmful microorganisms. Consequently, the drug helps restore the natural intestinal microflora and also relieves bloating. Thanks to the removal of toxins, peristalsis improves, which in turn relieves constipation.

Doctors prescribe Lactofiltrum for allergies of various types; most often it is used to treat:

• allergic lesions of the respiratory tract;
• atopic and contact dermatitis;
• eczema;
• drug and food allergies;
• hay fever;
• hives;
• pseudo-allergy (arising from the consumption of large quantities of certain foods).

Despite the fact that the drug is not dangerous and non-toxic, it still has some contraindications.

It should not be taken if:

• galactosemia;
• intestinal obstruction and atony;
• intolerance to substances included in the drug;
• exacerbation of ulcerative lesions of the digestive organs.

The tablets have a dark brown color with light inclusions present in it and are oval in shape with a separating line. They are produced in packaging with separate cells of 10-15 tablets, as well as 30-50 tablets in bottles. When Lactofiltrum is used correctly, there are no side effects. Rarely, diarrhea and bloating may occur, as well as swelling, hives and itching.

An overdose of this medication may cause pain in the abdomen and constipation. In this case, you must stop taking this medicine.

Both adults and children can take the drug. It is rarely prescribed to children under one year of age, but in some cases it can be taken for infants from four months. The dosage is determined by the doctor. For allergies, Lactofiltrum is taken one hour before meals or an hour after meals. The daily dose for adults is three tablets. You can take any other medications 50-60 minutes after taking Lactofiltrum.
