Bifiform: instructions for use will tell you about the features of the drug

Before using the drug Bifiform, you should read the instructions for use. The main feature of this medicine is that it contains microorganisms characteristic of the human intestine, such as enterococci and bifidobacteria. These microbes not only help digest food, but also help in the production of folic acid and vitamin E.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

The manufacturer reports that the effect of this drug is due to its constituent components, which maintain and control the physiological balance of intestinal microflora . They colonize the small and large intestines. By producing acetic and lactic acids, active bacteria inhibit the growth and reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms.

The drug improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, increases the body's nonspecific resistance and normalizes intestinal microbiocenosis.

Instructions for use Bifiform (Method and dosage)

For those who have been prescribed Bifiform capsules, the instructions for use indicate that adults and children over 2 years old need to take the medicine 2-3 capsules per day. If necessary, the daily dosage is increased to 4 capsules.

Instructions for use of Bifiform also indicate that in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, an antidiarrheal effect can be observed already in the first days of treatment. For acute diarrhea, the course is designed for 2-3 days. For those who are interested in how to take Bifiform for adults, if there are other indications for use, it is better to consult with specialists. The doctor usually prescribes a course of treatment from 10 to 21 days.

In addition, this remedy can be prescribed in combination with others, for example, capsules and suppositories with Indomethacin .

Also on forums they often ask how to take it: before or after meals. Experts report that you can take capsules regardless of meals.

Doctors are also interested in how to take it with antibiotics . Experts answer this question unequivocally - it is better to avoid such a combination altogether. Bifidobacteria will be destroyed, so the use of the drug must be started after antibiotic treatment. It is better to consult a doctor about how and when to drink.

Which is better: Bifiform or Bifidumbacterin?

Difference between Bifiform and Bifiform Complex

Unlike the drug in question, which is a drug, Bifiform Complex is registered in the Russian Federation as a dietary supplement. The difference between the drugs is already visible in the composition. The latter remedy contains Bifidobacterium BB-12, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5 as active substances. Thus, it has three strains of bacteria at once.

The medicine is sold in capsules, the protective shell of which prevents the death of bacteria when they enter the aggressive environment of the stomach. Bifiform Complex, in turn, is available in tablets, which immediately dissolve when they enter the body, so that the bacteria die in the stomach. Thus, this dietary supplement is not very effective. The manufacturer, however, continues to produce it. Since the names of both drugs are similar, this can be somewhat confusing for buyers.
