Allocholum is a combined choleretic drug, which contains various natural ingredients. In this, it compares favorably with many tablets, fully consisting of their synthetic, artificial substances. Due to this, its reception does not cause strong adverse reactions.
The dry bile present in its composition temporarily “replaces” the organic at various stages of the digestion process, thereby eliminating the signs of flatulence and gas formation, since no food remains rot. Allochol also stimulates the so-called secretory function in the liver, significantly enhancing the formation of bile and normalizing bile formation, increases the activity of the intestines and stomach, slows down the fermentation and decay processes that occur in the intestine, and also has a slight laxative effect.
