Tablets belong to the group of medicines of natural origin, establishing the process of formation and excretion of hepatocyte activity products from the gallbladder. The smooth operation of this body helps to ensure the full functioning of the liver, and also reduces the risk of stones or sand in a complex transport route for liver secretion. What is useful and what is harmful "Allohol"?
Structure
The drug is produced in tablet form and is intended for oral use. The capsule has a yellow tint, and is also covered with a glossy sweet shell. The structure of one tablet has:
- Dry bile of animals.
- Garlic extract.
- Nettle extract
- Activated carbon.
The drug is packaged in blisters of ten, twenty and fifty pieces per pack.
Indications
What is useful and what is harmful "Allohol"? Tablets, as a rule, are recommended for use for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes in the following conditions and diseases:
- As a complex treatment of chronic forms of hepatitis in order to enhance the outflow of bile.
- Cirrhosis of the liver.
- Lesions of the gallbladder.
- Violation of the outflow of bile.
- Nausea.
- Vomiting.
- Diarrhea
- Intestinal obstruction.
- Cholelithiasis (a disease accompanied by the formation of gallstones).
How to take the drug?
The drug is taken strictly after a meal. It is strictly contraindicated to use "Allohol" on an empty stomach, since the substances included in the structure of the medication activate the process of hydrochloric acid formation and, in the absence of food in the stomach, this acid will begin to dissolve the mucous membranes of the organ, which will lead to gastritis or an ulcer.
Adult patients take one or two tablets of the drug one hour after eating for one month, depending on the indications. The number of daily applications is determined by the doctor for each person purely individually, but, as a rule, it is recommended to take the drug three times a day. During an exacerbation of chronic diseases of the biliary tract, the question of stopping the use of tablets should be decided with a medical specialist, since further treatment with Allochol can provoke an even worse deterioration.
If necessary and depending on the indications, therapy can be extended to three months, after which it is important to take a break for three months.
Pediatric Medication
Pills can be used to treat children from three years old. The dosage of "Allohol", the duration of therapy and the number of daily doses is determined by the doctor. Children, as well as adult patients, need to eat before using the drug.
Use of Allochol during Pregnancy
Pills can be used during an interesting position of a woman only in a situation where the probable benefit for the woman will be higher than the possible risks for the unborn baby. Despite the fact that only natural components are included in the drug, due to changes in the functioning of all internal organs, it is not recommended to take any drugs when bearing a child.
During pregnancy, stagnation of bile may occur in a woman, as a result of which small stones instantly appear. With the self-administration of Allochol, the harmful symptoms in the expectant mother can only intensify, therefore it is very important to consult a doctor before therapy.
The use of the drug during lactation should also be agreed with a medical specialist, since a small part of the drug passes into breast milk.
Is it possible to take alcohol with Allohol at the same time?
The use of alcohol leads to an increase in the rhythmic contraction of the smooth muscles of the intestinal wall and the secretory abilities of the stomach. In addition, strong drinks increase the production of bile, which together with choleretic drugs can lead to damage to the intestinal walls and severe diarrhea.
Alcohol can also cramp small capillaries and bile ducts, which in combination with Allochol can provoke gallbladder inflammation, yellowness of the skin and severe pain in the right hypochondrium.
The compatibility of alcohol with Allochol is doubtful, such a combination can harm the body, often provoking the following reactions:
- Persistent diarrhea.
- Vomiting.
- Involuntary convulsive muscle contraction.
- Cramps and abdominal pain.
The above symptoms do not always occur. Often, the influence of Allohol simply does not arise and its use becomes meaningless. In other situations, an allergy appears.
"Allohol" after alcohol
Due to alcohol poisoning, a person manifests pain in the right hypochondrium. This is due to the fact that the body cannot cope with the resulting load and the functioning of the gallbladder and liver is at its maximum. To eliminate pain, you need to use "Allohol." The drug helps to cope with the received toxins and reduce their effect on the body, removing them.
But taking the drug for poisoning with alcohol should be under the supervision of a doctor.
"Allohol" with a hangover syndrome
There are many responses that the drug does a wonderful job with a hangover. But you must remember that he has a number of prohibitions on the use of:
- Acute pancreatitis (an acute course of the disease, which is based on pancreatic dystrophy and the attachment of a secondary purulent infection).
- Gastric ulcer (a chronic pathological process that proceeds with the formation of an ulcer in the stomach, as well as a tendency to progression).
- Acute hepatitis (a disease characterized by inflammation and degenerative changes in the liver).
At the same time, "Allohol" is ineffective in eliminating ethanol from the body when the stomach and intestines are filled with residues of undecided alcohol and products.
Side effects
As a rule, "Allohol" is well tolerated by people, but with an independent increase in dosage or uncontrolled prolonged use of tablets, the following negative reactions may occur:
- Diarrhea.
- Pain in the abdomen.
- Intestinal cramps.
- Discomfort or burning sensation behind the sternum.
- Flatulence.
With individual intolerance to one of the substances of the drug, a person may develop an allergic rash on the skin. As a rule, after discontinuation of the drug or a significant reduction in dosage, all harmful effects quickly disappear without any help.
Contraindications
Despite the presence of only natural components in the medication, Allohol has a number of prohibitions on its use. These include:
- Increased sensitivity to the components of the drug.
- Clogging of bile ducts with stones or sand.
- Gallstone disease (a pathology that is accompanied by the appearance of stones in the gallbladder).
- Gastric ulcer (a chronic disease that occurs with damage to the stomach).
- Children under three years.
Take "Allohol" before alcohol is prohibited. This is due to the fact that many people who abuse alcohol have hepatic dystrophy. Therefore, you can not use a medication in this situation.
People who do not suffer from alcoholism are usually allowed to take the medicine after a feast in order to make them feel better after eating a lot of food.
Due to the fact that ethyl alcohol is already present in the blood and begins to break down, and undigested food is in the intestine, the drug does not have time to neutralize toxins. The combined use of alcohol and "Allohol" will not bring benefits.

Reviews
According to people, after taking "Allohol" in the human body there are changes that have a beneficial effect on overall well-being. When the patient is too carried away by strong drinks, pains in the right side may appear between binges. This is reminiscent of the liver and gall bladder, which can not withstand the load. Reviews of patients indicate that seven days is enough for the pain to disappear after taking the drug.
According to reviews, Allohol and alcohol, taken together, will not bring any benefits.
Basically, only positive responses about the drug, which perfectly eliminates diseases of the gallbladder and biliary tract, predominate. Patients note the naturalness of the drug and excellent choleretic effect.
