Pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics
Linguine, which is one of the main active ingredients of the drug, is a non-toxic organic compound. It is obtained from wood after careful processing. The substance has good binding properties, it removes from the body:
- Heavy metal salts
- Allergens
- Excess cholesterol
- Excess bilirubin and urea
- Alcohol
After taking the medication, harmful substances are completely eliminated from the body within one day.
Lactulose is the second active ingredient of the drug; it belongs to the prebiotics. The substance blocks the reproduction of pathogenic organisms.
Lactofiltrum for cleansing the body
For acne
If the intestinal microflora is disturbed, this will definitely affect the condition of the facial skin. Pimples and acne will appear on it, causing acne. Prem Lactofiltrum allows you to normalize intestinal function, increase immunity, and improve skin health. Therefore, doctors often prescribe it as part of a comprehensive scheme for combating dermatological problems.
Lactofiltrum binds and removes harmful substances from the intestines, so it cannot be said that the drug directly fights acne and pimples. However, there will be much fewer rashes if their appearance is caused by a violation of the intestinal flora. In addition, the general well-being of a person will improve, the metabolism will stabilize, since all pathogenic flora will be removed. Therefore, Lactofiltrum can be used for a comprehensive fight against acne, but at the same time you need to normalize your diet and treat intestinal diseases, including dysbiosis.
If acne and acne are a consequence of insufficient hygiene, or the result of hormonal imbalances, then Lactofiltrum will not be able to cope with them. The drug will be powerless even if the person’s menu is dominated by exclusively fatty and unhealthy foods.
It is these patients who most often speak negatively about the drug. At the same time, they do not delve into the essence of his work and do not want to change their bad habits and lifestyle. Of course, it’s much easier to blame a “bad” drug than to blame yourself.
For weight loss
Lactofiltrum is not a dietary supplement or a miracle fat burner that will help you cope with excess weight. You can lose weight with its help only if a person fights fat thoroughly, using an integrated approach.
Taking the drug allows you to regulate metabolic processes in the body. When fat breaks down, toxins and lipids enter the bloodstream and are also utilized by internal organs. However, it can be difficult for the body to cope with such a load. Taking Lactofiltrum allows you to reduce the level of lipids in the blood, as well as stabilize the synthesis of protein molecules.
The drug itself has no effect on body fat. You can lose weight by eliminating harmful compounds from the body, which often weigh several kilograms.
Taking Lactofiltrum allows you to compensate for the lack of dietary fiber in the body. The stomach is activated, and the food bolus that enters it allows you to maintain a feeling of fullness for a long time. At the same time, a person will eat very little. Lactofiltrum also allows you to remove excess water from the body. Along with swelling, several kilograms will come off at once.
Toxins, fats, urea, and rotting products leave the body. Carbohydrate metabolism returns to normal, intestinal motility increases. As a result, a person loses weight faster.
Based on the above, we can draw a simple conclusion: Lactofiltrum will not allow you to lose weight as an independent drug. It does not have the ability to burn fat, but only cleanses the body of all harmful compounds that have accumulated in it. However, when following any diet, this is very important. The more serious the dietary restrictions, the more the body tends to consume, this applies not only to useful, but also harmful substances. Therefore, if you follow a strict diet, Lactofiltrum will help prevent poisoning from your own breakdown products.
How to give Lactofiltrum to children
The drug can be used to treat children over 1 year of age. Regardless of the patient’s age, the drug should be taken 3 times a day. The duration of therapy should be determined by the doctor, but generally the treatment course lasts 14-21 days.
The drug, if there are difficulties with swallowing, can be crushed. You will need warm water for drinking. It is important that the medication must be given to the child an hour before meals. This will help not to interfere with the absorption of nutrients from food and the influence of other pharmaceuticals taken.

ATX Code:
A07BC
Pharmacological properties:
The pharmacological effect of the drug is due to the properties of the active components - lignin and lactulose.
Hydrolytic lignin is a natural enterosorbent consisting of hydrolysis products of wood components, has high sorbing activity and a nonspecific detoxification effect. Binds in the intestines and removes from the body pathogenic bacteria and bacterial toxins, medications, salts of heavy metals, alcohol, allergens, as well as excess of certain metabolic products, including bilirubin, cholesterol, histamine, serotonin, urea, and other metabolites responsible for the development of endogenous toxicosis.
Non-toxic, not absorbed, completely eliminated from the intestines within 24 hours.
Lactulose is a synthetic disaccharide, the molecule of which consists of galactose and fructose residues. Lactulose is not present in the stomach and upper intestines; absorbed and not hydrolyzed. Lactulose released from the tablets in the large intestine as a substrate is fermented by 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 suppress the growth of pathogenic microorganisms and consequently 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 the peristaltic.
The complex effect 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 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 opportunistic flora.
