Indications Canalgata

It is used for the following disorders:

  • diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (such as ulcers, colitis, gastritis, dysbacteriosis, etc.);
  • cholangitis or cholecystitis;
  • dyskinesia;
  • hypokalemia;
  • allergic symptoms;
  • chronic or acute forms of poisoning with radionuclides, as well as heavy metals;
  • pathologies caused by a deficiency of the element Ca in the body (such as osteoporosis);
  • to prevent the development of atherosclerosis.

Release form

It is released in the form of a lyophilisate for suspensions (1 g capacity), as well as capsules with a volume of 0.6 g.

Pharmacodynamics

The characteristics of algonic acid allow the drug to synthesize and excrete cesium, metal cations and strontium from the body, due to which it can be used to treat intoxication with radionuclides or heavy metals (acute or chronic stage), for prevention in people in areas contaminated with radiation, and also after radiation and chemotherapy procedures.

Canalgat has a hemostatic and healing effect, which allows it to be used to restore the acidic environment inside the stomach, as well as for the treatment of many diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, the drug helps improve the motor-evacuation intestinal function, stimulates the processes of parietal digestion, and also inhibits fermentation processes and reduces the severity of problems with the functioning of the colon (bloating, pain, etc.).

Like many drugs from the dietary supplement category, the medication has immunomodulatory properties, helping to restore the balance of immunocompetent cells, and also eliminate chronic pathologies, against which the immune system is weakened. It is also used for functional disorders in the gallbladder and kidneys (such as dyskinesia and cholangitis with cholecystitis).

The medicine is used to prevent the occurrence of allergic diseases and disorders caused by calcium deficiency (such as osteoporosis, etc.), and in addition to this, increased cholesterol levels in the blood plasma (for example, atherosclerosis).

Dosing and administration

Recommended serving sizes of the drug: 1 g of powder (1 packet of medicine) or 2-3 capsules, taken three times a day with food.
