Today, there are a large number of drugs that contribute to the improvement of the gastrointestinal tract. Every year, all new foreign drugs are produced, repelling at their cost. However, there are still medicines on the Russian pharmaceutical market that have remained in demand for many years. To them, without a doubt, can be reckoned "Allohol." The use (reviews are positive from all age categories) of the drug has a good therapeutic effect.
general description
Allohol tablets are made from raw materials of plant origin. Their purpose is the treatment of pathologies of the liver and gall bladder. Like any choleretic drug, it removes toxins from the human body. Despite the fact that the composition of the tablets includes only natural ingredients, before taking them, you need to study the instructions and get the recommendations of the attending physician.
Like the analogue of Allohol (for example, Allohol UBF), these tablets are a pharmacological choleretic agent. The basis is bile acids. A group of true choleretics. The drug is released only in tablet form.
One tablet contains:
- 80 mg of bile dry;
- 40 mg of garlic (extract);
- 25 mg of activated carbon;
- 5 mg of nettle (extract).
When to take Allohol
Analogs, the instructions for use which contain the same recommendations, indicate that the drug is taken in the treatment of liver and gall bladder diseases:
- cholangitis;
- stoneless cholecystitis;
- chronic hepatitis.
Tablets are used both for the prevention of biliary tract diseases, and in order to prevent exacerbations. The analogue of “Allohol”, like the drug itself, fights the formation of stones. In order to eliminate or reduce signs of inflammation of the liver (hepatocholecystitis), "Allochol" is recommended.
When not to take "Allohol"
The drug is contraindicated in the event of:
- fatty liver disease ;
- jaundice;
- exacerbations of hepatitis;
- digestive ulcers;
- acute pancreatitis;
- allergies to the components of the drug.
Allochol tablets are analogues of expensive drugs. Despite this, during pregnancy, you should consult your doctor before taking a consultation. This also applies to breastfeeding. Often, while carrying a baby or feeding, a woman has unpleasant symptoms in the form of increased gas formation, flatulence, heartburn, intestinal disturbances, etc.
In order to intensify the activity of the gastrointestinal tract, it is recommended to drink "Allohol": it helps to reduce the symptoms of toxicosis, normalizes digestion. But if negative symptoms appear, you must stop taking the pills and consult your doctor.
They do not recommend taking the drug itself, or any analogue of Allohol with alcohol. The medication increases the secretion of digestive juices and enhances the motility of the digestive system. Alcohol causes spasm of the biliary tract. The result - bile does not have the ability to stand out normally, which leads to pain in the liver.
Dosage for children under seven years of age is half the adult dose.
How does the remedy work?
This is a combined choleretic agent. The substances of the composition contribute to the secretion of their own bile and partially replenish its deficiency. Allohol tablets also normalize the secretory function of the liver.
As you can see above, all components of the drug are of plant origin.
The composition contains dry bile, which helps strengthen both the secretory and motor function of the digestive system.
Garlic, acting as a powerful irritant, increases the rate of bile production by the liver. The drug inhibits the pathogenic microflora. It has cholesterol and antithrombotic action. Increases metabolic rate, prevents the growth of lipids in the blood. Beneficial effect on the intestinal microflora. Due to the antimicrobial properties, flatulence is reduced.
Activated carbon is an adsorbent that removes toxins from the stomach. Helps reduce putrefactive and fermentative processes in the intestine.
And if the analogue of Allohol "Tykveol" can cause diarrhea, then in the drug in question the components are selected so that this side effect is negated.
The production of tablets is to mix all the components that are in a dry form. This is done to better preserve the individual ingredients.
The positive effect of the drug
The tool has a large number of positive effects:
- normalizes the process of bile formation;
- increases the efficiency of the liver;
- reduces the risk of spreading the infection;
- increases stimulation of the synthesis of gallbladder acids.
Through tablets, water and electrolytes pass into the intrahepatic ducts, then into the biliary tract. An increase in the rate of advancement of bile significantly reduces the appearance of sediment, leading to the formation of stones.
Taking the drug
It is mandatory to study before taking the drug "Allohol" - instructions. Analogs are used for the same reasons.
Taking pills - strictly after a meal. During the month you need to drink 1-2 tablets 4 times a day. Then, for a month or two, take the drug at the rate of 1 tablet 3 times a day. Again, the course is recommended to start only after three months.
Reception on an empty stomach increases the production of digestive juices, which can damage the gastrointestinal mucosa, thereby increasing the risk of ulcers.
Taking into account the diagnosis, the attending physician determines the desired dosage of the drug. If you still take any medications, you need to tell the doctor about this.
Allohol combines well with some herbal preparations; it helps to better absorb the active substances. So, choleretics of any origin interact well with Allohol. Also, the drug complements the action of antiseptics and laxatives.
Side effects of taking "Allohol"
Despite all the positive aspects, when taking the drug, side effects may occur:
- severe diarrhea;
- itching on the skin, rash;
- nausea;
- heartburn.
The analogue of "Allohol"
In Russia, only “Allochol UBF”, which has the same properties, can be distinguished. Other analogues can be called such only in terms of effects on the body.
The doctor prescribes Cinarix, Flamin, Tykveol, Salvat, Hepar-pos, Kavehol, based on the results of laboratory tests and the patient’s well-being, as well as Allohol tablets.
Analogs (instructions for use of each of them contain their contraindications and dosage) are prescribed only by a doctor. Self-medication for diseases of the liver and biliary tract is fraught with sad consequences.
How to store pills
The drug is stored in a cool and dry place, inaccessible to children, without exposure to the sun.
The shelf life of the tablets is 4 years.
