Pharmacological action of the drug is due to the properties that make up the active ingredients - lignin and lactulose.
Lignin hydrolyzed - a natural enterosorbent, consisting of products of hydrolysis of wood components, has a high sorption activity and nonspecific detoxification action. Binds in the intestines and removes from the body pathogenic bacteria and bacterial toxins, drugs, heavy metal salts, alcohol, allergens and also the excess of some metabolic products, including bilirubin, cholesterol, histamine, serotonin, urea, other metabolites responsible for the development of endogenous toxicosis.
Not toxic, not absorbed, completely eliminated from the intestine within 24 hours. Lactulose - a synthetic disaccharide whose molecule consists of the remains of galactose and fructose. Lactulose in the stomach and upper intestine is not; It is absorbed and not hydrolyzed. Released from tablets lactulose in the large intestine as a substrate is fermented by normal intestinal microflora, stimulating the growth of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. As a result of hydrolysis of lactulose in the large intestine, organic acids are formed, lactic, acetic and ant which inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms and thereby 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 effect of the drug is aimed at normalizing the large intestine microbiocenosis and reducing the intensity of endogenous toxic conditions. The use of the drug in the complex therapy of bacterial vaginosis (dysbiosis of the vagina) leads to an increase in the effectiveness of therapy, including,an increase in the number of lactobacilli in the vagina, as well as an effective suppression of the growth of the opportunistic flora.
