In the body of every person live pathogenic microbes. Some penetrate the body with air. Almost immediately, the immune system begins to attack them. Others have been living in the human body from birth. These include the microflora of the mucous membranes, skin, intestines.
Bacteria exist in symbiosis, that is, in a unique community, where the activity of conditionally useful inhibits the work of conditionally pathogenic. When this balance is disturbed, the body responds, causing various digestive disorders. However, this problem is easy to cope with if we adopt the Biosporin preparation. Instructions for use, possible contraindications and reviews of real patients are described later in this article.
Description of the medication
“Biosporin” is a probiotic characterized by a local bacteriostatic effect. The drug on the positive side has proven itself in the treatment of many gynecological diseases. In addition, it increases the susceptibility of the body to infections, and also accelerates the recovery process after surgery.
The drug goes on sale in 5 ml vials. They contain dry powder intended for the preparation of an oral solution. One bottle is designed for 1, 2 or 5 doses of the drug. In a cardboard package there are five or ten such bottles.
Biosporin incorporates living microorganisms - strains of aerobic saprophytes of the genus Bacillus. They are activated against many pathogenic microbes (for example, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, pathogenic fungi). In addition, the composition of the drug includes sodium chloride, gelatin and sucrose.
Pharmacological properties of the drug "Biosporin"
Instructions for use contain information on the mechanism of action of this drug. Dried strains of microorganisms from the genus Bacillus are active against pathogenic flora. They produce peptides that have an antibiotic effect, and enzymes that increase the acidity of the medium. All these factors adversely affect the life of pathogenic microbes. By stopping the formation of antibiotic-resistant strains, Biosporin directly affects their activity.
Due to its unique composition, the drug helps to stimulate the synthesis of immunoglobulins. In addition, it normalizes the absorption of vitamins K and E in the intestine.
The probiotic, as stated in the instructions, does not adversely affect the so-called beneficial flora that colonizes the large intestine. Its components do not differ in their ability to be absorbed from the intestinal lumen, so they do not penetrate into the bloodstream.
Indications for use
What diseases are prescribed "Biosporin"? Instructions for use contain a complete list of pathologies and disorders in which the use of the drug is especially effective.
- Acute intestinal infections, the sources of which are bacteria of the genus Candida, Staphylociccus, Shigella, Salmonella.
- Candidiasis of the vulva.
- Bacterial vaginitis.
- Prevention of postoperative septic complications.
- Recurrent stomatitis in children.
- Dysbacteriosis
Contraindications
The instructions for the probiotic do not contain information regarding contraindications. The exception is individual hypersensitivity to its constituent substances. “Biosporin” is well tolerated during treatment and does not provoke relapse of chronic diseases. The drug is compatible with many drugs, so it is often used as part of complex therapy.
Mode of application
At what dosage is Biosporin prescribed? Instructions for use recommend that you first dilute the contents of the vial in plain boiled water. A single dose of the drug will require 5 ml of liquid. The solution is best prepared immediately before use. After reconstitution of the powder, storage is not allowed. The probiotic is taken orally at least 40 minutes before a meal.
Instructions for adults
With intestinal infections, patients are prescribed two doses of the drug at a time three times a day. After surgery or with dysbiosis, the frequency of use of the probiotic is 2 times a day. In the first case, the duration of the course of therapy is no more than seven days, and in the second - up to two weeks.
In bacterial vaginosis or candidiasis, the diluted powder is used topically by irrigation or intravaginal administration of tampons moistened in solution (2 doses per 10 ml). Exposure time may not exceed 12 hours. The course of treatment is 10 days. According to the testimony, the doctor may prescribe a second dose of Biosporin.
Instructions for use for children
With intestinal pathologies (dysentery, salmonellosis), the drug is prescribed in a single dose 2 times a day. The course of therapy is one week. As you recover, the volume of the drug is gradually reduced.
With intestinal dysbiosis, young patients are advised to take a probiotic one dose three times a day.
For the prevention of purulent complications in the postoperative period, "Biosporin" is also used. Instructions for use in children and adults in this matter are not much different. Probiotic is prescribed in a single dose 2 times a day for one week before surgery, as well as approximately 10 days after surgery.
Drug price
How much does Biosporin cost? Instructions for use, reviews, contraindications - this is what patients initially pay attention to when choosing a drug. The price of the drug plays an important role. For the packaging of "Biosporin" will have to pay about 500 rubles.
Analogs
Structural analogues of the drug are not currently presented. To select a medicine with similar properties, you should consult a doctor. Among a wide range of drugs with a similar pharmacological effect, Lactobacterin, Linex, Bifiform can be distinguished.
Separately, it should be noted "Biosporin Forte." Instructions for use recommends a drug for the restoration of microflora in the intestines and inhibition of pathogenic microorganisms. This tool is prescribed for violations of the gastrointestinal tract (diarrhea, constipation, bloating), vaginal candidiasis, as well as food poisoning. Consider its action in more detail. How does it differ from the Biosporin preparation described in the article?
The instruction for use of the capsule recommends that children after 12 years of age and adults take it for therapeutic purposes. Perhaps the main difference is made in this proposal. “Biosporin” is realized in the form of a powder; its administration is allowed for children from 3 months and adults. Otherwise, these are two completely identical drugs.
Reviews
What do patients say after using a probiotic? Numerous reviews indicate that the drug is well tolerated by both children and adults. Very rarely, patients complain of an allergic reaction in the form of itching or urticaria. This side effect is most often due to individual hypersensitivity to the components of the drug.
