Formulations Ursofalk

Ursofalk - a drug that protects liver cells from destruction by suppressing the formation of cholesterol and prevent the formation of cholesterol stones, preventing the proliferation of connective tissue in the liver, and promotes the excretion of bile from the biliary tract. It also has a positive effect on the immune system Immunity - types and characteristics in children in adults   and inhibits the growth of malignant tumors of the colon.

Produced ursofalk capsules of 250 mg and as a suspension in the vials of 250 ml measuring spoon (one scoop contains 250 mg of active principle).

How to take

Ursofalk best made by a doctor after the examination and final diagnosis. In this case, the treatment will be most effective.

Basically ursofalk take one capsule or one scoop (they contain 250 mg) once daily at night. But if the daily dose ursofalk large, it is divided into two or three doses. The capsules are taken with liquid and washed down with a small amount of liquid. In a suspension ursofalk usually administered to children weighing less than 34 kg or for patients with impaired swallowing (for example, patients after a stroke Stroke - a serious brain injury   or traumatic brain injury).

Admission Ursofalk in the presence of cholesterol in the bile duct stones (cholelithiasis)

C to dissolve cholesterol gallstones ursofalk prescribed rate of 10 mg per kg of patient body weight once a day. If the weight of the patient is less than 60 kg, it will be two capsules or two scoops suspension (500 mg), 60-80 kg - three capsules or scoops (750 mg), 80-100 kg - four capsules or scoops. The course of treatment lasting at least six months, but most ursofalk have to take about a year.

Under the influence of Ursofalk bile in the blood and decreases the amount of cholesterol and bile cholesterol begins to pull their stones. Treatment helps only if the stones have a purely cholesteric structure. Hard stones, which were deposited calcium salts, typically do not resolve. Another condition for the removal of cholesterol stones is the flotation of biliary tract, as small stones under the influence Ursofalk can be removed naturally with the current of bile.

Admission Ursofalk when biliary reflux gastritis

When biliary reflux gastritis disrupted regulation of activity of sphincters (circular smooth muscle), regulating the excretion of bile and pancreatic secretions. This leads to irritation of the wall of the duodenum and the abandonment of its contents (refluxed) into the stomach. The constant irritation of the stomach causing chronic biliary reflux gastritis.

Ursofalk this disease appoint one capsule or one measuring spoon suspension overnight, squeezed small amounts of liquid. The duration of treatment depends on the patient's condition. The course of treatment may last from two weeks to several years.

Under the influence of Ursofalk gradually returning to normal passage of bile and the work of sphincters, stop casting of bile into the stomach, restored condition of its walls.

Admission Ursofalk in primary biliary cirrhosis

In primary biliary cirrhosis, liver function is reduced due to the fact that, due to the destruction of the intrahepatic bile ducts bile stasis occurs, destruction of liver cells and their replacement by connective tissue cells. The cause of the disease is an autoimmune process or an allergy to their own tissue.

Ursofalk administered in this disease is based on 10 to 15 mg per kg body weight of the patient, that is obtained from two to six capsules or suspensions scoops daily. Treatment long, from six months to several years.

Candidiasis of the gastrointestinal tract - is one of the most common diseases. There it is, for various reasons, but the most common is uncontrolled, non-prescription, antibiotics. To cure a runny nose bacterial antibiotics, of course, it is easy, but then treat candidiasis are not so simple.

Why can occur candidiasis of the gastrointestinal tract

In the first place - is, of course, long-term use of antibiotics, which is, first, reduces the amount of the normal intestinal flora, which in turn is the cause of the uncontrolled reproduction of conditionally pathogenic microflora, including fungi genus Candida. Second, after a course of antibiotics is always reduced immunity, and mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract becomes defenseless against fungal infection Fungal infection: to prevent and defeat .

Ill candidiasis gastrointestinal tract can also be infected by patients with candidiasis or affected by fungi of the genus Candida fruits and vegetables, but with normal immunity is quite rare. But in any case, you should not forget to thoroughly wash and parboil fresh fruits and vegetables before eating.

Prone to lesions of the gastrointestinal tract people suffering from diseases that are accompanied by a decrease in immunity. This diabetes, certain endocrine diseases, and so on. Also, often these lesions occur in patients with chronic infectious and inflammatory diseases, which are often forced to take antibiotics. First of all, it is chronic bronchopulmonary system and kidneys. Reduced immunity and taking glucocorticoid (steroid) hormones (prednisone, dexamethasone, and others), so patients taking them permanently or as part of the course should be periodically evaluated for candidiasis.

How is candidiasis gastrointestinal tract

The first sign of the defeat of the gastrointestinal tract with fungi of the genus Candida is usually a loss of appetite. Often, the patient has a bad taste in the mouth, changed the taste of certain foods. With the defeat of the fungus pharyngeal mucosa may be violated swallowing. Often these symptoms are accompanied by the appearance features of oral thrush - white curd form films on the inside of the cheeks and lips. But it also happens that the mucous membrane of the mouth is clean.

After a while, the first manifestations of candidiasis join nausea and vomiting. With the vomit may be released cheesy film and streaks of blood - a sign of inflammation and irritation of the gastric mucosa. With continued illness of the patient may appear watery stools with mucus and bloody, it is also possible the emergence of small cheesy inclusions.

The disease can occur with increasing temperature, but may be at a normal temperature. If any version of the current suffering patient's general condition: there is lethargy, weakness, malaise, greatly reduced efficiency.

Candidiasis of the gastrointestinal tract is dangerous because it can move to other organs, as well as to adopt a generalized (with the defeat of the whole body) form.

Diagnostics

Suspected candidiasis doctor can after a conversation with a patient and thorough examination. Candidiasis of the gastrointestinal tract is rarely come from nowhere. Typically, such patients or receiving any medicines that reduce immunity (antibiotics, steroids), or had some other reasons for the decline of immunity (eg, hormonal changes, or diabetes).

To confirm the diagnosis of candidiasis conduct laboratory research vomit and feces of the patient. Under the microscope in such cases, you can see the accumulation of fungi of the genus Candida and yarns. Also makes crops vomit and feces in order to detect and identify infectious agent.

To identify the causative agent can be, and by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) - in this case the result of the analysis are available much earlier than when sowing.

Antibodies to fungi of the genus Candida can be detected in the blood by using special immunological reactions.

To confirm the diagnosis is also carried out endoscopic (using a special optical instrument) study the stomach and intestines.

Treatment and prevention

Treatment of candidiasis of the gastrointestinal tract is performed by means of antifungal agents (e.g., fluconazole). When minor illnesses are treated on an outpatient basis, but if the disease is difficult, the patients treated in the hospital. At the same time trying to eliminate the factor that caused candidiasis, for example, to treat diabetes Diabetes - threatening and incurable disease   or some hormonal disturbance Hormonal disorders - oversupply and a lack of equally dangerous .

Prevention candidiasis is that prolonged treatment with antibiotics Antibiotics - whether they will help you in the foreseeable future?   or steroid drugs for the prevention of candidiasis prescribed antifungal agents. Also needed careful handling dishes, fresh fruits and vegetables in hospitals and eating places.
