In order to restore the intestinal microflora, modern pharmaceutical corporations offer many specialized products that contain lyophilisates of beneficial bacteria. One of them is the Enterozhermina tool. Unfortunately, it is far from always possible to use it for various reasons. In the article, we consider the analogues of Enterohermins and reviews.
Patients may experience individual intolerance to ingredients or adjuvants. In addition, medicines periodically re-register and disappear from the sale for an indefinite period. In such cases, specialists need to select no less effective analogues of Enterohermins, capable of stabilizing microflora in a short time.
Is there a replacement for the drug in Russia and Belarus?
Currently, the composition of the structural analogues of Enterohermins in Belarus and Russia is not. In cases where there is no opportunity to purchase a similar pharmaceutical product or intolerance appears, specialists will have to make a choice depending on the situation:
- If there is a need to replenish the physiological volume of bacillus clausii bacteria, prescribe prebiotic preparations that help restore the natural comfortable environment in the intestine, providing the necessary conditions for the restoration and subsequent reproduction of beneficial surviving bacteria.
- Try to normalize the intestinal microflora through combined means that contain lyophilisates with lactobacilli that are similar in function to bacillus clausii and, at the same time, a useful medium in the form of synbiotics.
The choice is made exclusively by doctors. It all depends on the result of the analysis in the patient, his general condition and features, such as the tolerance of Entero Germines analogues.
Prebiotics
These are therapeutic agents that contribute to the restoration and comfortable functioning of microscopic intestinal organisms. They normalize digestion processes. Thanks to the active ingredients included in the composition, it is possible to strengthen the immune system and create an optimal environment for the reproduction and vital activity of microorganisms. Specialists distinguish several drugs from this pharmacological group, which are the most effective. Let's consider them further.
Syrup "Pikovit" for children
It provides comfortable digestion along with the speedy absorption of vitamins. This can facilitate the tolerance of dysbiosis in children and accelerate its elimination. "Pikovit" is classified as a metabolic pharmacological agent. Its main prebiotic is oligofructose, which contributes to the absorption of vitamins, normalizes digestion. That is, it performs functions that are similar to those for which the bacteria clausii are responsible. In addition, oligofructose normalizes the internal environment of the intestine. The duration of use of this analogue is about one month.
What other analogues of Enterogermina can I buy at a pharmacy?
Hilak Forte
This is perhaps the most famous tool designed to adjust the balance of microflora. The drug can normalize the state of the intestine and improves overall well-being due to the lactic acid present in the composition. It is she who helps acid stabilization in the digestive system.
The drug includes short-chain fatty acid, which stimulates the regeneration process and normalizes the water and electrolyte balance. This component contributes to the preservation of mucosal function. Inside the intestine, “Hilak Forte” in the shortest possible time creates the optimal environment for the bacteria living there. A feature of this analogue is that it cannot be drunk with antacids, otherwise the beneficial effect of the acid will be neutralized.
Analogues of Enterohermins in Russia should be selected by a doctor.
Dufalac
This medication is the most safe for the body laxative based on lactulose, which stimulates peristalsis and normalizes the stool of patients with delayed feces. Lactulose can help improve the process of removing toxic ingredients from the body and normalize the internal intestinal environment. It is used in the complex treatment of dysbiosis, but exclusively in clinical situations, which are accompanied by delayed stool.
Lactofiltrum
Another analogue of the drug Enterozhermina.
To normalize the intestinal microflora and neutralize the toxins that have entered the body, doctors prescribe this drug. It contains two beneficial ingredients: lactulose and lignin. The last component belongs to the pharmacological class of enterosorbents. Lactofiltrum can effectively normalize the environment through the release of detoxicants and by restoring the digestive process.
Thanks to him, many patients note a significant improvement in general condition. Thus, there is an increase in the body's natural defenses by taking this drug. A clinical study showed that the drug is able to accelerate the elimination of various viral waste products along with neutralizing toxic reagents and restoring a comfortable environment for beneficial bacteria in the intestines.
Combined analogues of Enterohermins
Synbiotics act as combined bacterial drugs that differ from others in the compositional feature. They contain the following active ingredients: strains of beneficial bacteria along with special substances that support their comfortable implementation process and vital functions in the body.
Combined drugs help to normalize the intestines, eliminate dysbiosis, improve digestion and absorption, stabilize metabolic reactions. Medicines of this group help to eliminate toxins and neutralize the consequences of the use of aggressive medications from the antibiotic group. Thus, the activation of the body's protective natural forces is achieved. Next, we consider the most famous and popular synbiotics - analogues and substitutes for Entero Germines.
Maksilak
This drug deservedly takes first place in the overall ranking of synbiotics. It contains nine cultures of organisms that are useful to humans along with oligofructose that supports their vital functions. The pharmaceutical agent "Maxilac" contributes to the overall improvement of the microflora in case of pathological digestion. Taking the drug leads to the restoration of the metabolic process after surgery and aggressive medications. Also, this substance is able to have a positive effect on the general state of immunity and the respiratory system of the body.
Laktiale
The composition of this drug includes seven types of lyophilized bacteria, which correspond to those that inhabit the human intestines, as well as fructooligosaccharide as a prebiotic ingredient. Magnesium stearate is also present, which protects bacteria from a negative environmental factor until they penetrate the patient’s intestines. Taking the medication helps to normalize the condition, stabilize the activity of the patient's immune and nervous system.
Taking any of the prebiotic or synbiotic analogues of Enterogermina, it is important to carefully follow the guidelines and not to forget about observing the duration of the course of treatment. In the event of negative adverse reactions or a deterioration in overall health, you should immediately consult a doctor to correct therapy.
Reviews
To date, the pharmaceutical preparation Enterozhermina has many analogues that can be used as a substitute if appropriate. I must say that in general, people speak positively about each of them in the reviews, and there are no complaints in the comments.
Judging by reports, doctors, as an alternative to Enterohermine, predominantly prescribe Hilak Forte or Lactofiltrum to patients. As experts themselves note, preference is given to these analogues due to their effectiveness. Doctors insist that, if necessary, in the selection of a substitute drug, people should not self-medicate. It is important to act strictly according to medical instructions.
