Description
Bifidumbacterin Forte Pharmacodynamics
BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
The action of the drug is due to the high concentration of bifidobacteria sorbed on activated charcoal particles (Bifidobacterium bifidum), which are antagonists of a wide range of pathogenic (shigella, salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, etc.) and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms (protists, Klebsiella etc.). Microcolonies of sorbed bifidobacteria provide rapid recovery of normal microflora, which, as a natural biosorbent, accumulates a significant amount of toxic substances coming from outside or forming in the body. Sorbed bifidobacteria activate regenerative processes in the mucous membranes, poststenous digestion, synthesis of vitamins and amino acids, increase the body’s immune defense.
