Protection against infection

The main habitat of lactobacilli - the colon and vagina of women. And there, and there, they create an acidic environment, producing lactic acid. In an acidic environment all pathogens feel uncomfortable, for their active life and reproduction requires an alkaline environment.

Normal microflora may die if malnutrition, constant exposure of inflammatory processes, toxic substances, and so on. But the main cause of death of lactic acid bacteria is antibiotics.

Once killed the normal intestinal microflora (mainly bifidobacteria and lactobacilli) begins intestinal dysbiosis Intestinal dysbiosis - how dangerous it is?   - Under the influence of conditionally pathogenic food decomposes wrong with the release of large amounts of gases and toxic substances that irritate the intestinal wall, causing dermatitis and poison the whole body.

Dysbacteriosis vagina is called vaginitis. It also takes a lot of trouble the woman: an unpleasant "fishy" smell, the isolation and the constant risk of inflammation.

What laktobakterin

Lactobacterin dry - microbial mass of live antagonistically active strains of lactic acid bacteria (lactobacilli), dried in the culture medium. Produced laktobakterin dry ampoules (dry crumbly mass, which pre-mixed with water, one vial of 3 to 5 doses) or compressed state in the form of tablets (one tablet one dose). One dose contains laktobakterina 6-7 billion live bacteria. Strains of lactobacilli used for making laktobakterina resistant to a wide range of antibiotics.

Lactobacterin maintains and regulates the physiological balance of the intestinal microflora, since bacteria are included in it are part of the normal intestinal flora and create favorable conditions for its development. The therapeutic effect laktobakterina based on the antagonism of normal and pathogenic microflora.

Indications and contraindications for use

Lactobacterin used in the treatment of the following diseases in children and adults:

• chronic bowel disease (colitis) of any origin, including ulcerative colitis;
• any chronic diseases of internal organs, complicated by overgrowth, resulting from the use of antibiotics, sulfa drugs and other reasons;
• states after acute intestinal infection that disrupted activity of the intestine;
• for a quick settlement of the intestine of infants of normal microflora;
• for the prophylaxis and treatment of vaginosis in women; for the preparation of the genital tract to various gynecological surgery, manipulation and delivery.

The effect of receiving laktobakterina would be better if before its reception to suppress reproduction of pathogenic microflora special preparations - specific bacteriophages that affect certain specific opportunistic bacteria (they are detected by laboratory tests).

Contraindications laktobakterina can serve only idiosyncrasy of the drug.

How to take laktobakterin

Lactobacterin applied as orally (by mouth), and externally. Babies laktobakterin in vials prescribed in the first months of life, in tablets - from the age of three.

Inside laktobakterin taken one hour before meals, spreading it with water according to the instructions. Wash down laktobakterin better milk. Simultaneously with the reception laktobakterina, it is desirable to take vitamins, because at dysbacterioses violated their absorption. Based laktobakterina prepared as dairy products with healing properties. The duration of treatment when taking into laktobakterina:

• in states after acute intestinal infection Acute intestinal infections - the most common disease in the autumn and summer   - Up to six months;
• chronic inflammatory processes in the gut including ulcerative colitis - half to two months;
• at dysbacteriosis of any origin - up to a month.

For external use laktobakterin dissolved in water according to the instructions received a suspension of impregnated cotton gauze or sterile swab How to use sanitary pad - basic precautions Which is introduced into the vagina and left for two or three hours. The duration of treatment with topical laktobakterina (treatment is carried out under laboratory control the purity of the vagina)

• when pelvic inflammatory disease laktobakterin administered twice a day for two weeks from the 10th day of the menstrual cycle The days of the menstrual cycle: Four phases ;
• prenatal preparation for pregnant women before undergoing inflammatory diseases of the genital organs - once a day for a week.

The liver and its functions

Liver - unpaired abdominal organs related to the digestive system, while the largest gland in the human body, it is involved in digestion, metabolism and circulation, neutralizes toxins coming into it with the blood from the gastrointestinal tract, including alcohol and drugs that modern man often takes in large quantities. Liver tissue is surrounded by a network of bile ducts, which are derived from her bile in the gall bladder (temporary storage) and a 12-duodenum, where it is involved in digestion.

The most important function of the liver is also the synthesis of proteins of tissues of the human body of the proteins coming from the food, the formation of glycogen from carbohydrates (energy supply of the body), the formation of bile (which contains digestive enzymes and is involved in the breakdown of food) and immune cells (lymphocytes) that protect the body against external influences.

Liver Disease

Liver damage may occur:

• when subjected to liver cells food toxic impurities, toxic substances (particularly alcoholic beverages), drugs, bacteria and viruses - in this case there is often observed as a change from the liver tissue, and from the bile ducts;
• at stagnation of blood in the veins of the liver on the background of circulatory diseases, ingestion of certain plants belonging to food additives Food additives - basic classification   and herbal teas (especially Chinese production);
• with stagnation of bile in the liver and biliary tract - it develops under the influence of viral, alcoholic, drug, food, vegetable factors;
• overdose of vitamins, especially vitamin A, thus there is an increased proliferation of cells of connective tissue, causing congestion in the liver and increase the pressure in the vessels of the liver;
• by indirect damaging effect of any toxic factors on liver cells (e.g., inflammatory and allergic processes in other organs, lack of oxygen and etc.).

Basic principles of treatment of liver

A feature of liver disease is that even if they end up in recovery, after a long time they are metabolic disorders, which also requires treatment - the restoration of those or other infringements of the structure and function of cells of the liver or biliary tract. Therefore, the treatment of any disease of the liver - a very difficult task, which starts with a survey to identify the causes of liver disease and eliminate them.

In acute diseases, treatment should initially be aimed at the elimination of intoxication (drip with glucose Glucose: The energy source , Blood substitutes, etc.) at the same time prescribe medications, normal secretory funktsyui liver and bile flow. After that begins the long process of multi-stage restoration of the structure and function of the liver.

Medications used to treat liver diseases

Medications used to treat liver, divided into three groups: hepatoprotectors Cholagogue and cholelitolitic funds.

Hepatoprotectors promote restoration of the function of liver cells, thereby improving all the metabolic processes in the liver, enhancing its resistance to various toxic effects, accelerates the recovery of its functions at any kinds of damage. All hepatoprotectors divided into herbal-animal origin (Essentiale and Essentiale forte, Kars, Heptral Geptral - protection and support to the liver and not only , Silimar, hofitol Hofitol - has beneficial effects on liver function , Gepatosan), synthetic (man-made, such as ziksorin aka flumetsinol) and homeopathic (Galstena).

Bile drugs increase the secretion of bile (allohol, holenzim, Holagol) and its promotion of biliary ways to exit the intestine (magnesium sulfate, berberine bisulfate, etc.).

Cholelitolitic drugs (Henofalk, ursofalk) with the acids contained therein cause the dissolution of gallstones in the biliary tract and gall bladder, they are used to dissolve cholesterol stones are small.

Folk remedies used to treat liver

For the treatment of liver disease, there are many folk remedies, for example, a decoction of corn silk, which is an excellent cholagogue. Preparing it this way: 10 g of dried crushed corn silk (that hairs that are located under the corn leaves) pour 1, 5 cups of cold water and boil for 30 minutes on low heat in an enamel pot with the lid closed; then the broth is cooled, filtered and taken 1-3 tablespoons every 3-4 hours.
