The drug "Allochol" refers to choleretic drugs. The composition of the medication contains mainly plant components, namely dry bile extract, dried garlic, urticaria leaves and activated charcoal.
So, dried garlic acts as a strong irritant, activates the production of bile, normalizes the function of its formation. Dry bile extract is used as a temporary substitute for natural organic bile formed during digestion. As a result of using this component, signs of flatulence and gas formation in the intestine are completely eliminated, since the processes of decay of food debris are eliminated. From the above it follows that the drug "Allohol" is a tool that significantly accelerates the formation of bile.
The medicine is made exclusively in the form of yellow colored tablets. Despite the fact that many similar drugs are produced in pharmacological effects, a complete analogue of the drug does not exist.
