If there is no effect within 10 days, patients should return to the doctor. It may be necessary to re-examine and identify the reason for the lack of effectiveness.
For atopic dermatitis
When diagnosing atopic dermatitis in patients, the drug is prescribed in standard dosages depending on age. Reception is usually continued for at least 30 days in a row to obtain a therapeutic result.
Simultaneously with the concentrate, the patient takes other medications and adheres to a special diet, which increases the effectiveness of treatment. Dosage adjustment is carried out by the doctor depending on the patient’s condition.

Despite this, patients can take the concentrate in order to saturate the body with valuable substances and prevent the worsening of symptoms as a result of the accumulation of toxins in the tissues.
The drug is taken according to the standard therapeutic regimen and in a dosage that depends on the age of the patient.

A natural remedy is usually not prescribed in the acute period of inflammatory pathologies of bacterial origin if the patient is taking antibacterial medications. This is due to the neutralizing effect of antibiotics and the minimal therapeutic effect of taking the concentrate.
But after undergoing antibiotic therapy, patients may be prescribed a concentrate to restore normal intestinal microflora and improve their general condition. Stimulating the immune system helps to avoid complications after prolonged treatment with antibiotics.
Dosages are standard and are determined depending on the age of the patient. The duration of treatment in most cases does not exceed 14 days. Only when complications occur in the intestines due to dysbiosis, patients can use the drug for a long time, but after consulting a doctor.
