Last reviewed: 04.07.2025

In the intestines of a healthy person, there is a certain balance between the microorganisms that inhabit it. The vast majority of bacteria (99%) are beneficial representatives of the intestinal microflora - these are bifidobacteria, bacteroids, lactobacilli, E. coli and enterococci. They promote complete digestion of food, the functioning of the immune system, supplying the body with vitamins, microelements, amino acids, proteins. Beneficial bacteria protect against the penetration of pathogenic microbes, slow down their growth and reproduction. Harmful bacteria (staphylococci, streptococci, proteus, clostridia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) make up only 1% of the normal intestinal biocenosis.

Violation of the quantitative and qualitative balance of intestinal microflora, accompanied by a surge in the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria, is called dysbacteriosis. This provokes dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract, which leads to diarrhea, constipation, flatulence, pain syndromes in the abdominal area, as well as anemia, vitamin deficiency, intoxication with the products of the vital activity of fungal flora.

In order to restore a balanced intestinal biocenosis and prevent its disruption, tablets for intestinal dysbacteriosis are used. These are probiotics - substances containing live beneficial bacteria that live in the intestines of a healthy person and prevent the growth and reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms.

Bifidumbacterin

Probiotic that restores normal intestinal biocenosis. Active bifidobacteria bifidumbacterin restore the natural ratio of microorganisms in the intestine.

The use of the drug normalizes the functions of the gastrointestinal tract, stimulates the digestive process, the synthesis and absorption of vitamins and microelements, increases the immune barrier. This drug prevents the increase in the number of pathogenic microorganisms in the gastroduodenal zone.

It is used as a means of preventing intestinal biocenosis disorders in infants fed with infant formula or donor milk.

Packaging forms – vials, ampoules, packaged powders, capsules and suppositories. The packaging unit contains 5 doses of strains of live microorganisms.

Vials and ampoules contain strains of active bifidobacteria dehydrated by lyophilization in a culture medium, powders – purified from the substance in which they were cultivated. Dry bacteria quickly come to life when they enter a liquid nutrient substance.

The capsules contain bifidumbacterin forte, the bacteria of which are immobilized with activated carbon from fruit pits. Once in the gastrointestinal tract, the immobile bacteria form colonies on the mucous membrane, which accelerates the restoration of intestinal microflora.

Bifidumbacterin forte is also supplied in packaged form.

Contraindications for use are decreased lactase activity in children and hypersensitivity to the components of this product. Cases of undesirable side reactions to the use of recommended doses of bifidumbacterin are not known.

Method of administration and dosage of bifidumbacterin:

For infants, the drug is diluted in formula or breast milk and consumed during feeding.

For patients over 1 year old, bifidumbacterin is mixed with a quarter glass of boiled drinking water or fermented milk drink, it is allowed to combine with liquid not hot food. It is necessary to take the mixture immediately, without waiting for dissolution. Use half an hour before meals, but if necessary - at any time.

Therapeutic dosages:

Acipol

A probiotic that combines active acidophilic lactobacilli of strains nk1, nk2, nk5, nk12, dehydrated by the lyophilic method, and polysaccharides of kefir fungi killed by high temperatures. Acipol suppresses the action of pathogens of the gastrointestinal tract, resists the formation of putrefactive processes in the intestine. This occurs by creating conditions that are not suitable for the development of pathogenic microorganisms.

Lactobacilli support the production of fatty acids in the intestinal sections, which leads to an increase in the acidity of its environment. An acidic environment promotes the regression of pathogenic bacteria and fungi, improves the motor activity of the gastrointestinal tract (eliminates food stagnation) and accelerates the process of removing ammonia, which promotes detoxification of the body.

Acipol stimulates the production of B vitamins, vitamin K, and other natural biologically functional substances, the absorption of nutrients, normalizes cholesterol and bilirubin metabolism, and improves immunity.

It is not prescribed if the patient has a history of hypersensitivity to the components of Acipol. Side effects are unknown.
It is available in capsules. It is advisable to swallow them whole with a sufficient amount of water. For children under 1 year old - dissolve the contents of the capsule in a small amount of water or milk.

The duration of therapy for intestinal infections with Acipol is at least eight to ten days. The course of therapy can be repeated after a month if necessary.

There is no information about the negative consequences of exceeding the recommended doses of Acipol and its interaction with various drugs. It can be combined with any medications.

Store for two years at a temperature of 2–10°C.

Bifiliz

A probiotic whose active ingredients are lyophilisate of live bifidobacteria (bifidobacterium bifidum), lysozyme (an enzyme of the hydrolase class), has antimicrobial properties and affects the normalization of the ratio of beneficial and pathogenic components of the intestinal microbiocenosis. The drug acts similarly to those described above.

Adding lysozyme to bifidobacteria enhances the antimicrobial effect of the preparation due to its ability to destroy bacterial cell walls. Lysozyme has anti-inflammatory and metabolic effects, normalizes the level of red blood cells, and activates the growth and reproduction of bifidobacteria.

Bifiliz promotes radical healing of intestinal diseases, preventing them from becoming chronic.

Not prescribed to patients with hypersensitivity to egg protein.

There are no known side effects of use.

It is produced in the form of powder packaged in vials and rectal suppositories. One packaging unit contains five doses of the medicinal substance.

Bifido tank

It is not a medicinal product. The active substance is a lyophilisate of bifidobacterium adolescentis. It has the ability to maintain the normal balance of intestinal microflora.

The high-tech production process of making capsules guarantees excellent assimilation of bacteria in the intestine. The biopolymer shell of the capsule protects the contents from the aggressive gastric environment, breaking down in the intestinal sections. The basis of the microcapsule is fructooligosaccharides. This is a natural nutrient substance for bifidobacteria. Its presence during the activation of bacteria in the intestine ensures their activity, accelerates reproduction and significantly increases the effectiveness of the correction of the state of the intestinal microbiocenosis.

Available in 0.6g capsules.

Not used in case of individual intolerance to the components of the dietary supplement.

Directions for use and dosage: Adults take one capsule two to three times daily with meals.

Laminolact

It is not a medicine. The active component is enterococcus faecium l-3 bacteria, active representatives of the normal microbiocenosis of the human intestine. Additional components of laminolact are natural substances of plant origin. It is used to improve intestinal microflora and prevent dysbiosis. Increases the immune barrier, stimulates the processes of digestion and assimilation of food. For effective immunomodulation, bilaminolact was created - a version of a bioactive supplement that includes bifidobacteria bifidum adolescentis.

During pregnancy and lactation, it is recommended to use Laminolact Eva, which ensures that the mother and child do not have problems with digestion and the stability of the immune system.

Contraindicated in case of hypersensitivity to some components of the dietary supplement.

Nifuroxazide

Antidiarrheal drug with the active substance of the same name. Destroys almost all pathogens of intestinal infections (salmonellosis, dysentery, yersiniosis, cholera, acute gastritis, etc.) and inflammatory processes (bacteremia, pneumonia, septicopyemia, acute pyelonephritis, prostatitis, nosocomial angioinfections). Not used against pseudomonads and individual strains of Proteus.

The dosage size affects the action of nifuroxazide – whether it destroys pathogenic microorganisms or only prevents their reproduction. Presumably, the drug inactivates dehydrogenases, thereby disrupting the process of protein biosynthesis in the cells of pathogenic bacteria.

Medium doses do not inhibit the growth and reproduction of beneficial representatives of the intestinal microbiocenosis and do not contribute to the emergence of drug-resistant strains of pathogenic bacteria.

In cases of viral intestinal disease, it has a preventive effect against the addition of a secondary bacterial infection.
This drug is not absorbed in the stomach, accumulating in the intestine, where its metabolism process occurs. It is excreted slowly, remaining in the gastrointestinal tract for a long time. It is excreted by the intestine.

Use by pregnant and lactating women only for medical reasons under the supervision of a physician.

Contraindicated in case of intolerance to nitrofuran derivatives and/or any additional components of the drug.

Nifuroxazide is well tolerated, but occasionally side effects are possible in the form of digestive disorders and short-term exacerbation of diarrhea, which does not require either treatment or discontinuation of nifuroxazide. In case of allergy, the drug should be discontinued.

In the process of treating acute diarrhea, continuous compensation of fluid deficiency is necessary (depending on the patient’s condition – oral or intravenous).

The consequences of overdose are not described. In case of exceeding the recommended dose of the drug, perform gastric lavage.
Interaction with systemic drugs is impossible, since only traces are detected in the blood. When used in combination with other drugs, its high adsorption capacity should be taken into account.

Store in a dry, dark place, maintaining a temperature of 17-25ºС.

Most of the above-described drugs are probiotics (eubiotics). These are modern products (medicines and biologically active supplements) containing live microorganisms of the normal human intestinal environment. Probiotics restore intestinal microbiocenosis in a natural way, they are physiological for the body, and have virtually no contraindications or side effects.

However, it should be taken into account that the dosage of even such, at first glance, safe drugs and the duration of the course of treatment are determined only by the attending physician individually for each patient.

Use for intestinal dysbiosis pills. during pregnancy

Since tablets that restore normal symbiosis of intestinal microorganisms contain natural beneficial components of its microflora, their use by pregnant and lactating women is considered safe. However, it is recommended to use these drugs only as prescribed by a doctor.
