Lactofiltrum® (Tablets, Powder) Instructions for Use

ATC Code

A07BC30 (Intestinal adsorbents in combination with other drugs)

Clinical-Pharmacological Group

Enterosorbent regulating the balance of intestinal microflora

Pharmacotherapeutic Group

Antidiarrheals, intestinal anti-inflammatory/antimicrobial agents; intestinal adsorbents; other intestinal adsorbents

Pharmacological Action

The pharmacological action is due to the properties of the active components included in the composition – lignin and lactulose.

Hydrolyzed lignin is a natural origin enterosorbent consisting of wood component hydrolysis products, possesses high sorptive activity and a nonspecific detoxifying action. It binds in the intestine and removes from the body pathogenic bacteria and bacterial toxins, medicinal products, salts of heavy metals, ethanol, allergens, as well as an excess of certain metabolic products, including bilirubin, cholesterol, histamine, serotonin, urea, other metabolites responsible for the development of endogenous toxemia.

Lactulose is a synthetic disaccharide, the molecule of which consists of galactose and fructose residues. In the large intestine, lactulose is fermented by the normal intestinal microflora as a substrate, stimulating the growth of bifido- and lactobacilli. As a result of lactulose hydrolysis in the large intestine, organic acids are formed – lactic, acetic, and formic, which suppress the growth of pathogenic microorganisms and thereby reduce the production of nitrogen-containing toxic substances. This process leads to an increase in osmotic pressure in the lumen of the large intestine and stimulation of peristalsis.

The complex action of the drug is aimed at normalizing the microbiocenosis of the large intestine and reducing the intensity of endogenous toxic conditions.

Pharmacokinetics

Hydrolyzed lignin is not absorbed and is completely excreted from the intestine within 24 hours.

Lactulose is not absorbed and is not hydrolyzed in the stomach and upper intestine. Hydrolysis of lactulose occurs in the large intestine.

Indications

Disorders of the intestinal microflora, including those resulting from antibiotic therapy; as part of the complex therapy of irritable bowel syndrome, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, allergic diseases (atopic dermatitis, urticaria).
