Pharmacological action

The pharmacological action of the drug is due to the properties of the active components included in the composition – lignin and lactulose.

Hydrolysis lignin – a natural enterosorbent consisting of hydrolysis products of wood components, has a high sorbing activity and a non-specific detoxification effect.

Binds in the intestines and removes from the body pathogenic bacteria and bacterial toxins, drugs, heavy metal salts, alcohol, allergens, as well as an excess of certain metabolic products, including bilirubin, cholesterol, histamine, serotonin, urea, and other metabolites responsible for the development of endogenous toxicosis. Non-toxic, non-absorbed, completely eliminated from the intestine within 24 hours.

Lactulose is a synthetic disaccharide whose molecule consists of galactose and fructose residues. Lactulose in the stomach and upper intestines is not absorbed or hydrolyzed. Lactulose released from tablets in the large intestine as a substrate is fermented by the normal intestinal microflora, stimulating the growth of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.

As a result of the hydrolysis of lactulose in the large intestine, organic acids are formed – lactic, acetic and formic, which inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms and, as a result, reduce the production of nitrogen-containing toxic substances.

The described process leads to an increase in osmotic pressure in the lumen of the large intestine and stimulation of peristalsis. The complex action of the drug is aimed at normalizing the microbiocenosis of the large intestine and reducing the intensity of endogenous toxic conditions.

The use of the drug in the complex therapy of bacterial vaginosis (vaginal dysbiosis) leads to an increase in the effectiveness of therapy, including an increase in the number of lactobacilli in the vagina, as well as effective suppression of the growth of conditionally pathogenic flora.
