Description
Bifidumbacterin suppositories Pharmacodynamics
Bifidumbacterin is a microbial mass of live bifidobacteria strain Bifidobacterium bifidum № 1, lyophilically dried in a culture medium with the addition of protective (sucrose-gelatin) drying medium and lactose (monohydrate), molded into suppositories.
Live microbial cells of bifidobacteria have high antagonistic activity against pathogenic and opportunistic microbes, including staphylococci, Proteus, enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, shigella, yeast-like fungi, which determines the normalizing effect of the drug in disorders of intestinal and vaginal biocenosis. Displacement of pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microflora helps to restore normoflora.
