Enterol and biseptol together can be taken by children. Simultaneous use with antibiotics

(lat. Enterol) - antidiarrheal, antimicrobial, normalizing intestinal microflora drug.

Active substance: freeze-dried sugar-fermenting yeast fungi Saccharomycetes Boulardii (lat. Saccharomyces boulardii). Enterol is available in capsules or sachets. One capsule or sachet contains 250 mg lyophilized Saccharomyces boulardii.

Capsules gelatinous, white, opaque, shiny with a smooth surface. The capsules contain a light brown powder with a characteristic yeast odor.

Excipients: lactose monohydrate, titanium dioxide, magnesium stearate, gelatin.

Enterol also has antitoxic action especially with regard to toxins Clostridium difficile that cause pseudomembranous colitis, as well as enterotoxins. The antitoxic effect of Enterol is associated with the production of a neutralizing factor that acts on intestinal cells through receptors connected to G-proteins, as well as with adhesion to enterocytes and a decrease in the activation of adenylate cyclase by enterotoxins and, as a result, a decrease in the secretion of water and salts. Clostridium difficile is the cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in 30% of cases and 99.8% of cases of pseudomembranous colitis. Enterol reduces general risk development of diarrhea more than twice, and antibiotic-associated diarrhea - three times.

Improves the enzymatic function of the intestine. Increases the activity of disaccharidases of the small intestine (lactase, sucrase, maltase). Saccharomycetes Boulardii have a natural resistance to antibiotics , which allows you to prescribe enterol together with antibiotics for the prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea.

Enterol has a good antidiarrheal healing effect with secretory bacterial and viral diarrhea , which is due to the antimicrobial effect of the Saccharomycetes contained in it on many pathogens intestinal infections, conditionally pathogenic microorganisms and the simplest ones: Salmonella typhimurium , Yersinia enterocolitica , Escherichia coli , Clostridium difficile , Shigella dysenteriae , Entamoeba histolytica, Lamblia, candida albicans, Candida krusei, Candida pseudotropicalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Staphylococcus aureus and others. In addition, Enterol has an antitoxic effect against bacterial cyto- and enterotoxins. The antiviral activity of enterol is associated with the ability Saccharomyces boulardii increase local immune defense of the intestine, enhance the synthesis of immunoglobulins, in particular, IgA. Enterol has a trophic effect, releasing spermine and spermidine and enhances the production of saccharidases, which is essential for the damaging effect of microflora on the intestinal mucosa, improves digestion and reduces the osmotic component of diarrhea. Thus, Enterol has a complex antidiarrheal effect and can be used as the main or additional remedy with bacterial, viral and osmotic diarrhea (Belousova E.A., Zlatkina A.R.).

With the appearance or intensification of the course of dyspeptic symptoms during anti-Helicobacter therapy with antibiotics, it is necessary to begin effective correction of changes in the intestinal microbial spectrum even before antibiotics are discontinued. For this, Hilak Forte preparations are recommended, 40-60 drops before or during meals 3 times a day, or enterol (which is especially effective for diarrhea) 1-2 capsules 2 times a day (Maev I.V., Samsonov A.A. ).

Indications:

  • treatment and prevention of diarrhea and colitis caused by antibiotics treatment and prevention of dysbacteriosis treatment of irritable bowel syndrome treatment of recurrent colitis caused by Clostridium difficile prevention of diarrhea during long-term tube enteral nutrition
Professional medical publications affecting the treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract by Enterol:
  • Belousova E.A., Zlatkina A.R. Diarrhea syndrome in the practice of a gastroenterologist: pathophysiology and a differentiated approach to treatment. Pharmateka. 2003, no. 10, p. 65-71.
On the site in the catalog of literature there is a section "Probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, symbiotics", containing articles on the treatment of diseases of the digestive tract with probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics.

The procedure for taking Enterol and doses. Capsules are taken one hour before meals with a small amount of liquid. For young children, as well as in case of difficulty swallowing, the capsule can be opened and its contents taken with cold or lukewarm (not hot!) Water. When taking Enterol in sachets, the contents of the sachet are diluted in water, similar to the contents of capsules. It is not advisable to drink and dilute Enterol hot water and alcoholic drinks, as this can lead to the death of saccharomycytes. The prepared solution can be stored for several days.

  • Children aged 1 to 3 years take 1 capsule enterol 2 times a day for 5 days Children over 3 years old and adults take 1-2 capsules enterol 2 times a day for 7-10 days
Reception of Enterol for the treatment of acute diarrhea must be accompanied by rehydration (drink or intravenous administration saline solutions or water to restore in the body the required volume of fluid lost during diarrhea). Thirst or dry mouth indicates insufficient rehydration.

At pregnancy and breastfeeding taking Enterol is possible only by the decision of a doctor, since there are no strict data on its danger or safety.

Saccharomyces boulardii go through gastrointestinal tract in an unchanged form without colonization and is excreted from the body completely within 2-5 days after stopping the intake.

Modern manufacturer: Biocodex, France. In the past, the license holder for the production of Enterol was Prespharm, France.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that we live in the era of antibiotics. Wide application antimicrobials in animal husbandry has led to last years began to celebrate a high degree pollution food products antibiotics. Antibacterial agents occupy the first lines of the ratings of the best-selling drugs. Antibiotic therapy is the leading one in the practice of any doctor, as it allows to achieve a significant effect in the treatment of most diseases. infectious diseases. However, their unjustified use, which, unfortunately, has already become customary in our country, is fraught with serious consequences.

Antibiotics selectively act not only on harmful bacteria, but also kill beneficial microorganisms that are necessary for the processes occurring in the digestive system. Active application chemotherapy drugs in most diseases very often leads to a violation of microbiocenosis. For example, it is known that etiotropic therapy of acute and chronic gastrointestinal diseases, especially quadritherapy chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum associated with Helicobacter pylori , in 100% of cases leads to aggravation of dysbiotic phenomena (Konev Yu. V., 2005).

Thus, irrational and uncontrolled antibiotic and chemotherapy often lead to the development of dysbacteriosis - a complication characterized primarily by an imbalance intestinal flora and, as a result, nausea, loss of appetite, diarrhea or constipation. Range clinical manifestations antibiotic-associated dysbacteriosis ranging from mild self-limiting diarrhea to severe pseudomembranous colitis.

The composition of normal intestinal microflora is very diverse. AT normal conditions our body is able to provide relative constancy intestinal microflora, because the beneficial microorganisms that live in the intestines themselves prevent the development of microflora unusual for humans. Beneficial microorganisms involved in the breakdown of some nutrients, which ultimately contributes to the absorption of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, etc. "Native" microbes also contribute to the synthesis of a number of vitamins, especially group B.

Imagine that there is little or no normal intestinal flora, which very often results from the use of antimicrobial agents. Then the microorganisms that have entered the digestive tract begin to actively multiply and colonize the intestines. Dysbacteriosis develops, manifested by unpleasant and painful symptoms. Therefore, when using antibiotics Special attention are given to the restoration of normal microflora. The first-line drugs in the treatment of antibiotic-associated intestinal dysbacteriosis are currently probiotics - preparations containing microorganisms that have a positive effect on intestinal microbiocenosis.

The founder of the concept of probiotics was I.I. Mechnikov, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1908 for a series of works in this direction. He, in particular, showed that some microorganisms are able to inhibit the growth of Vibrio cholerae, while others, on the contrary, stimulate. Since then it has been studied a large number of microorganisms that could be used in daily medical practice as part of probiotic preparations and food products, however, only a few of them are officially recognized as such today. In addition, it must be taken into account that the microorganism with minimal losses must overcome upper divisions digestive tract (due to acid environment stomach) to get into the intestines and fulfill their role there.

There are a large number of drugs that can take on the role of protector of the intestines. Among them, it is possible to note the drug ® 250, produced by the French company "Biokodeks", which is represented on the Ukrainian pharmaceutical market by the Belgian company "Brupharmexport".

ENTEROL ® 250 is cells of special medicinal yeast Saccharomycetes. Strain Saccharomyces boulardii was isolated in Indochina by the French microbiologist Henry Boulard from some tropical fruits after he noticed that their peel was used by the local population to treat dyspeptic diseases. Saccharomyces boulardii have an optimal development temperature - above 30 ° C, which fully corresponds to the temperature in the intestinal lumen.

ENTEROL ® 250 renders complex action on the intestinal microflora. One of its properties is an antimicrobial effect on pathogenic bacteria that cause digestive disorders, as well as an antitoxic effect due to the neutralization of bacterial enterotoxins. Very important is the ability of the drug to increase the local immune defense of the intestine and its enzymatic activity.

ENTEROL ® 250 is fundamentally different from other probiotics in that it contains active substance- medicinal yeast Saccharomyces boulardii, are not destroyed by the acidic environment of the stomach and have genetic resistance to antibiotics. This allows you to prescribe ENTEROL ® 250 simultaneously with antibiotic therapy for the prevention of dysbacteriosis and diarrhea.

In a study conducted on the basis of Vinnitsa medical university, ENTEROL ® 250 was administered to 46 patients with chronic diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, as well as for the prevention and treatment of diarrhea that developed during antibiotic therapy. Almost complete normalization of intestinal microbiocenosis was noted after 8–10 days, which was confirmed by the results. bacteriological research. Dyspeptic symptoms disappeared already on the 2nd day of the drug use, side effects were not registered.

Prophylactic administration of ENTEROL 250 during antibiotic therapy reduces the risk of developing antibiotic-associated diarrhea by 5 times (Kotowska M. et al., 2005).

Having completed their mission, Saccharomycetes leave the intestines. 2-5 days after stopping the intake of ENTEROL 250, saccharomycetes are no longer detected in the feces, therefore, Saccharomyces boulardii do not colonize the intestines. The half-life of viable cells from the body is 6 hours (Konev Yu.V., 2005).

How to take ENTEROL ® 250 in order to maximize its effectiveness?

ENTEROL ® 250 is produced in the form of powder in capsules and sachets and is taken according to a certain scheme depending on age:

  • children under 1 year - 0.5 sachet 2-3 times a day until the symptoms of diarrhea disappear (the contents of the sachet are diluted in warm water or milk, or given to the child with food);
  • children 1-10 years old - 1 sachet or 1 capsule 2-3 times a day (capsules should be taken with a small amount of water, without mixing with very hot (tea, first courses) or very chilled foods (ice cream));
  • children over 10 years old and adults - 1-2 sachets (or 1-2 capsules) 2-3 times a day.

The drug can be combined with other drugs, including antibiotics, with the exception of antifungals.

Thus, ENTEROL ® 250 has such advantages that allow it to be widely used in antibiotic therapy for the prevention of dysbacteriosis:

  • Thanks to the restoration of normal intestinal microflora, it allows you to quickly eliminate Clinical signs dysbacteriosis;
  • Rapid elimination from the intestine after treatment;
  • Possibility of use in children, including newborns;
  • The need to use with antibiotics.

Summing up, it should be noted that even reasonable use of antibiotics can lead to the development of serious intestinal dysbacteriosis. Combined use of ENTEROL 250 and antibacterial drugs will reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated dysbacteriosis or reduce the severity of its severity. o

The drug Enterol belongs to the drugs of the antidiarrheal group and is designed to regulate the state of the intestinal microflora. Freeze-dried yeast, passing through the gastrointestinal tract, creates a kind of biological protection for the intestinal microflora, suppressing and preventing the growth of harmful bacteria and fungal infections, which include Candida albicans, Clostridium difficile, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Clostridium pneumoniae, Staphilococcus aureus, Shigella flexneri, Vibrio cholerae, Candida krusei, Ecsherichia coli, Salmonella typhi and many others. By producing proteases that are able to break down toxins and enterocyte receptors, Enterol thereby has an antitoxic effect on the body. Enterol also helps to increase local immune defenses.

Enterol 250, benefits of use

If you do not take into account those inevitable inconveniences and discomforts that accompany diarrhea, in itself it is a kind defensive reaction when the body tries to get rid of harmful bacteria and their waste products - toxins. True, the increase in diarrhea attacks is fraught with dehydration, requiring replacement of lost fluid and electrolytes. However, reimbursement alone is often not enough, and one of the effective drugs against diarrhea and containing certain microorganisms that can regulate the intestinal microflora is the French drug Enterol 250.

Enterol 250 is good because the Saccharomyces boulardii contained in it act in the body as a temporary environment, and although after using this remedy a very high content Saccharomyces boulardii in the colon, after the end of treatment, they are completely removed from the body, along with feces, within three or five days. Saccharomyces boulardii is quite resistant to antibacterial drugs, which is very important when complex treatment. This increases the ability to protect the optimal intestinal microflora.

The drug Enterol 250 is especially relevant in the summer, when the level of intestinal infections increases. In addition, Enterol 250 is perfect as medicinal product to get rid of "travelers' diarrhea". And most importantly, the drug is acceptable for use in newborns, not only helping to get rid of diarrhea, but also regulating the balance of intestinal microflora. In addition, when taking Enterol 250, there is no need to give up dairy products.

The main advantages of Enterol 250, in comparison with other antidiarrheal drugs, are: enough fast action in the elimination of diarrhea various etiologies; the tool not only protects, but is also able to restore the intestinal microflora. Enterol 250 works great in complex therapy with the use of antibacterial drugs, being genetically resistant to their action. It is quite safe, quickly excreted from the body, and when it is taken, there is no possibility of an overdose.

A noticeable plus is the absence of age limits: Enterol 250 is indicated for both adult patients and newborn babies. Taking the drug also does not cause difficulties, and the only warning to remember is that the medication should not be mixed with excessively cold and hot liquids, as well as food.

Enterol, reviews

The drug is excellent, it is especially good for trips and business trips. In the summer, it generally guarantees a vacation without any problems. And most importantly - you can give it to small children, and there is no threat of overdose. I have an allergic child, I was terribly afraid that he would give a reaction to the drug. I really wanted to take the baby to the sea, but according to last year's experience, I decided to play it safe. On the first trip, we spent a week in the room, suffering from poisoning and terrible diarrhea. Well, at least it's just a nutritional error, and not something infectious. And this year I went to the local doctor for a consultation, he recommended Enterol 250 in powder - it is very convenient to add it to food and drinks, the smell is not nasty, it reminds me of something fruity. In short, a couple of days before the trip, I started preliminary prevention in order to avoid any dirty consequences. And you know - pah-pah - everything worked out. Although we actively ate southern fruits, drank water, and tried almost all the menus in local cafes, it’s interesting. Of course, maybe it's just luck, but I'm inclined to think that it was Enterol that helped. You just need to remember that it cannot be diluted with hot and cold liquid, otherwise it will lose its properties, there are living fungi in the composition, they cannot stand temperature changes. In a word, I highly recommend it, especially to those who have already encountered troubles while traveling. this kind. There are capsules for adults, the effect is the same, by the way.

I drank antibiotics, purely by stupidity after the course I got dysbacteriosis - somehow I didn’t bother with either linex or yogurt, I thought it would bypass the problem. It was not there, he safely got rid of the temperature and infection, but in return he acquired an equally nasty problem. Sorry, I didn’t get off the pot, at home it’s still half the trouble, but what about work? Not a very comfortable situation. I had to go to the doctor, I was recommended Enterol in capsules. You know, very effective, I did not even expect. Not instant deliverance, of course, but by the evening of the second day, the toilet had already ceased to be my home. And digestive system returned to normal somewhere in three days after getting rid of diarrhea. And, yes, another plus of the drug is the price. All these antidiarrheal drugs are not a cheap pleasure, and Enterol has a very affordable price. Just don’t take an example from me, be sure to consult a doctor first, so that you don’t grab your head later.

Poisoned at a party, either overate, or the cream on the cake really was not very good. As a result, wild vomiting and diarrhea. Dehydration is one thing, I struggled with it all the way, fortunately, not the first food in my life, but I tried Enterol for the first time, on the recommendation of a doctor. Very, you know, a quality drug. The main thing is that it works quickly and gently. I bought it in powder, there were no capsules at that time, and so it doesn’t even taste disgusting, as often happens with medicines. So now I keep Enterol at home, in the first aid kit, as an ambulance.

Similar instructions:

If the doctor prescribed Enterol for your child, be sure to read the annotation of this drug. In order to build the treatment correctly, you should know everything about the use of Enterol, its side effects and contraindications.

Features of the use of Enterol for children

This drug is prescribed for adults and children to treat diarrhea. different origin. Since Enterol contains lyophilized yeast, active substance this medicine passes freely through digestive tract through the stomach, starting useful action only where it is needed - in the intestines. Unlike lacto- and bifidobacteria, lyophilized yeast does not colonize the intestines with “good” flora, but only eliminate the “bad” one. They break down toxins, prevent the growth of such harmful bacteria like Candida albicans, Clostridium pneumonia, Vibrio cholera, Salmonella typhi and others. In addition, the drug Enterol has a positive effect on the state of local immunity in the human intestine.

Also, Enterol is often prescribed to children who take antibiotics to treat any disease, as a prevention of diarrhea.

Concerning age features reception, then Enterol has no appropriate restrictions and can be prescribed to patients of any age group in the absence of contraindications (we will talk about them a little later). Enterol is prescribed even for newborn babies with and prolonged diarrhea caused by growth pathogenic microflora intestines (infection with staphylococcus aureus, coli and other infections).

How to give a child Enterol?

Enterol is available in the form of gelatin capsules and powder. Pharmacists recommend for children under 6 years of age Enterol in the form of a powder diluted with water or milk, and for children over 6 and adults, respectively, take capsules. However, if your 5-year-old baby can swallow a gelatin capsule of the drug, you may well treat him with Enterol in this form of release: this will not affect the therapy for diarrhea.

The dosage of Enterol for children under one year old is usually prescribed by a doctor. For newborn babies, it is permissible to prescribe one Enterol sachet per day, while for a 6-year-old child, the number of Enterol sachets can reach 4. Also characteristic feature taking Enterol for infants is a mandatory control therapeutic effect after 2 days of treatment. If the drug does not have the expected effect, the doctor may review the treatment depending on the diagnosis of the baby.

Contraindications to the use of the drug Enterol

Enterol - enough soft drug with virtually no contraindications. The only exception is individual intolerance or hypersensitivity to freeze-dried yeast and excipients(lactose monohydrate, sodium stearate, etc.), which is very rare. It is also undesirable to take this medicine with severe allergic reaction to its components. Do not give Enterol to small patients who have a central venous catheter. Parents should keep in mind that Enterol should not be given to children who are taking antifungal agents - they are mutually exclusive each other.

If you are giving your child the drug in powder form, dilute it with care. Since Enterol contains live bacteria, it should not be diluted with too hot (above 50 ° C) water. You should not combine taking the medicine with food and drink (except water at room temperature).

Enterol is a quality drug that fights diarrhea in children and adults. Use it only as directed by your doctor and the right dosage- and you will quickly cure your child!
