ANTIDIARRHEAL, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY/ANTI-INFECTIVE INTESTINE Antidiarrheal microorganisms General characteristics: Grayish-white suspension with a specific odor and taste. During storage, the formation of a loose amorphous sediment is allowed, which breaks down when shaken.

Directions for use and dosage regimen

Bioflor is used to treat adults and children. The medicine can be used in a mixture with water (50-100 ml), with natural juices, decoctions of vegetables and fruits, compotes and other liquid products. The greatest effect is achieved when Bioflor is used separately 30 minutes before meals or 1.5 hours after meals.

Bioflor is used:

• for chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract: 1 dessert spoon 3 times a day for 1-3 months;
• for dysbacteriosis of various etiologies, 1 dessert spoon 2-3 times a day for 1-3 months;
• after acute intestinal infections: 1-3 dessert spoons 3 times a day for 3-5 days. The duration of treatment and dose are determined by the doctor. In individual cases, it is possible to increase the dosage of the drug as prescribed by the doctor.

Treatment of children should be carried out as prescribed and under the supervision of a physician.

For children, the dose of the drug is reduced in proportion to the child’s age:

• from 6 months to 1 year – up to ½ teaspoon (2-3 ml) 2-3 times a day until recovery;
• from 1 year to 5 years – ¼ of the adult norm;
• from 6 years to 10 years – ½ adult norm;
• from 11 years old – corresponds to the intake norm for an adult

If symptoms persist for a long time and/or the patient’s condition worsens, and/or new symptoms appear, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Side effects

Bioflor is well tolerated by patients and causes side effects in isolated cases (in the presence of hypersensitivity to the drug). A negative reaction of the body may manifest itself in the form of increased gas formation and intestinal pain, but such symptoms indicate the need to adjust the treatment regimen (in the first days of therapy, the drug is taken in minimal quantities).

The reason for discontinuing Bioflora is the appearance of a rash on the skin, indicating an allergy and intolerance to the drug.

Overdose

There have been no cases of overdose of Bioflor in medical practice. The drug is not addictive and does not have a negative effect on the body if the dosages specified in the instructions or prescribed by a specialist are exceeded. This feature is not a basis for uncontrolled use of Bioflor. Changing the drug regimen on your own may negatively affect the effectiveness of therapy.

Contraindications

Bioflor has no contraindications. The drug can be used for children from a very early age. The only limitation to therapy is the presence of increased sensitivity of the body to the components of its composition. A doctor can recognize drug intolerance based on a comprehensive examination of the patient or by conducting special tests.

During pregnancy

Bioflor can be used during pregnancy and lactation, but only after consultation with a doctor and a comprehensive examination. The drug does not have a negative effect on the fetus and the body of a newborn child.

The use of Bioflora during pregnancy and lactation implies special adjustments to the dosage regimen.

Pregnant women can use the drug only after a complete diagnosis of the body and permission from a doctor.

Precautionary measures

• The patient has a severe allergy.
• If the allergy is caused by dysbiosis of the gastrointestinal tract, then the use of Bioflor eliminates it. However, it is difficult to determine all allergenic factors. Therefore, you should start taking Bioflor with a small amount - 1 teaspoon once a day and, in the absence of allergic reactions, gradually increase its volume.
• In very rare cases, with severe changes in the small intestine, the use of Bioflora in the first days can increase gas formation and the resulting intestinal pain. In this case, it is advisable to discontinue the drug until the symptoms stop or stop treatment with the drug if the above symptoms reoccur.
• For dysfunctions and diarrhea caused by worms and other parasites, as well as protozoa (amoeba, lamblia, etc.), specific treatment must be carried out as prescribed by a doctor. The use of Bioflora in these diseases eliminates concomitant microflora disorders and resulting dysfunctions, improves immunity, which promotes recovery.
• Bioflor is ineffective in exacerbations of necrotizing ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. It is recommended to start taking it during periods between exacerbations of the disease. It is not advisable to use Bioflora simultaneously with taking hormonal medications for these diseases.
