Why do you take bifidumbacterin? Dry "Bifidumbacterin": description, instructions for use and reviews
The microflora of your intestines is the set of symbionts that you receive from the moment of birth and first contact with your mother. These microorganisms live with you all your life, helping with digestion, and their total weight reaches several kilograms. But taking antimicrobial drugs upsets the natural balance. Beneficial bacteria die, pathogenic bacteria multiply, so maintenance therapy in the form of probiotics is very desirable during and after treatment.
Opinions regarding the advisability of taking drugs containing live bacterial cultures during antibiotic therapy are controversial. Some doctors always prescribe probiotics from the very beginning of treatment, while others recommend taking them after completing the course. To understand this issue, you need to understand the mechanism of action of both drugs.
Composition of Bifidumbacterin ®
This drug is a combination of two elements necessary for the normal functioning of the digestive tract. The first is bifidobacterium Bifidobacterium bifidum, the main part of the intestinal microflora, which is responsible for the processing and absorption of food. The second component is lactose monohydrate, which is necessary for the life of beneficial bacteria.
For preventive and therapeutic purposes, oral dosage forms are usually prescribed:
- powder in sachets or bottles, which is diluted with liquid before use;
- pills;
- capsules.
However, products containing lactose with bmfidobacteria are also produced, which are intended for parenteral administration. We are talking about suppositories (rectal and vaginal) that help maintain the natural balance of microflora locally during treatment with any antibiotics or restore it after an illness.
Antibiotic therapy and probiotics: interaction
Why do doctors not always prescribe maintenance therapy in the form of Bifidumbacterin? The fact is that the effectiveness of probiotic supplements directly depends on the scheme of their use, which must be followed throughout the entire course of treatment with antimicrobial drugs.
Antibiotics, when entering the body, destroy not only dangerous pathogens, but also symbiont bacteria that live in the intestines, which are necessary for normal life. As a result, food cannot be digested normally, and bowel problems occur in the form of diarrhea or constipation. In addition, immunity decreases and the opportunistic part of bacteria is activated, the number of which is normally controlled by bifidobacteria.
By taking Bifidumbacterin ® simultaneously with antimicrobial drugs, the patient reduces the effectiveness of the probiotic to zero. Beneficial microorganisms are destroyed by the antibiotic immediately, without having time to reach the desired part of the intestine. However, if you maintain a certain pause between the drugs, they will not interact.
Admission rules
To support your body during a course of antibiotic therapy and strengthen your immune system, you need to drink probiotics correctly. If you adhere to the three recommendations below, you will be able to maintain the natural balance of intestinal microflora and avoid dysbiosis:
- take the drug Bifidumbacterin ® strictly before meals, approximately 20 or 30 minutes before the next meal;
- Use antibiotics no earlier than one and a half to two hours after the probiotic, so that beneficial symbiont bacteria have time to enter the intestines;
- adhere to a certain diet, temporarily excluding “heavy” fried, fatty, spicy foods from the diet and consume as much fermented milk products as possible.
In such conditions, a probiotic supplement will provide the desired supportive effect and help avoid digestive upset. In addition, recovery will come faster, since it is the intestinal microflora that is responsible for immunity.
Dosages for children and adults
A standard dose of the drug contains 50 million CFU of Bifidobacterium bifidum and about one gram of lactose monohydrate. It is advisable to take the probiotic Bifidumbacterin ® in the form of a lyophilisate (powder), which is sold in bags or bottles, paying attention to the expiration date and the integrity of the packaging.
The medicine can be diluted with water, the temperature of which should not be higher than 40⁰C, since at higher values, living bacterial cultures die. The optimal volume of liquid is from 30 to 50 ml (if the medicine is prescribed to a breastfed child, then it is recommended to dilute the lyophilisate with expressed breast milk).
Prevention of dysbacteriosis
It is carried out in order to prevent infectious diseases or their complications. It is according to this scheme that Bifidumbacterin ® should be taken during treatment with antimicrobial agents:
- children under six months of age are given one standard dose once a day;
- from 6 months to three years - the same amount of active substance 1 or 2 times a day;
- a child over 3 and an adult need to drink 100 million CFU every 12 hours.
The duration of treatment depends on the duration of antibiotic treatment, that is, throughout the entire prescribed course of antibiotic therapy and several weeks after its completion.
Treatment
If preventive measures were not taken in a timely manner and dysbiosis has already developed, then an increase in the total amount of the drug will be required. This will help restore imbalanced digestive processes. The single dose remains the same as for prophylaxis, but you will need to take the probiotic Bifidumbacterin ® more often.
Patients of any age are recommended to take the medicine at least 3 times a day, and in the case of particularly severe digestive disorders - up to 5 times. In addition, the recovery course must last at least three weeks, and after a month it must be repeated.
Bifidumbacterin ® after antibiotic therapy
Is it necessary to take medications containing live bifidobacteria during treatment with antimicrobial agents? Many doctors are of the opinion that this is not necessary, especially if the immune system is not too weakened and there is no imbalance in the intestinal microflora. In general, this position is correct, since the body is able to independently maintain the balance of the internal environment and recover from illness.
But in this case we are talking about practically healthy people who do not have chronic diseases or problems with the immune system. However, even this category of patients is recommended to take a prophylactic course of the probiotic Bifidumbacterin ® after antibiotics. Who necessarily needs to take medications containing live cultures of Bifidobacterium bifidum?
First of all, maintenance therapy is necessary for people with weakened immune systems who have a history of diagnoses associated with gastrointestinal pathologies. Especially if inflammatory processes often recur and are treated with courses of powerful antimicrobial drugs. It is also advisable to take a probiotic for expectant mothers who were forced to take antibiotics. During pregnancy, women need to pay maximum attention to their health and the prevention of any diseases.
And, of course, Bifidumbacterin ® after antibiotics is mandatory for children, even if no digestive disorders were observed during treatment. The fact is that at an early age the immune system is not yet fully formed, and infections (as well as medications to combat them) cause more harm to a child’s body than to an adult. The younger the child, the greater the likelihood of developing dysbiosis, so if the pediatrician prescribes antimicrobial drugs, it is imperative to take probiotics.

Bifidumbacterin benefits and harm to the body
Bifidumbacterin - instructions, reviews, application
pharmachologic effect
Bifidumbacterin is a probiotic that normalizes intestinal microflora.
Due to the large number of active bifidobacteria, the drug is able to activate the functions of the gastrointestinal tract, the digestion process, the body’s nonspecific resistance to various factors, metabolic processes, vitamin synthesis, and also accumulate a significant amount of toxic substances.
Bifidumbacterin is active against many pathogenic organisms, including enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, Proteus, staphylococci, and some types of yeast-like fungi.
Bifidumbacterin is available in dry form in ampoules and vials, in powder (sachets), in capsules and suppositories.
The drug in ampoules and vials represents live bacteria that have been freeze-dried, that is, they have passed from a frozen state to a dry state. Such forms of Bifidumbacterin contain 10*7 live bacteria and the milk-sugar-gelatin medium in which they were grown.
In Bifidumbacterin powder, the living microbial mass (10*8) is purified from the growing medium. Bifidumbacterin forte is a colony-forming bacteria (10*7), the immobilization (immobility) of which is ensured by stone activated carbon. Due to the immobilized state of bacteria, Bifidumbacterin forte carries out local colonization of the mucous membranes, as a result of which the process of restoring normal microflora in the intestine occurs faster. Bifidumbacterin forte is produced in the form of powder packets and capsules, each unit containing 5 doses of bacteria.
Indications for use
According to the instructions for Bifidumbacterin, it is advisable to prescribe the drug for the following diseases:
- intestinal dysbiosis, including after therapy with hormones, antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, during chemotherapy, stress;
- dysbiosis that accompanies various diseases of the biliary tract, liver, and digestive tract, including cholecystitis, pancreatitis, gastric and duodenal ulcers;
- dysbacteriosis in inflammation of the urogenital tract, acute and chronic bronchitis, pneumonia;
- acute intestinal infections (rotavirus infection, staphylococcal enterocolitis, salmonellosis, shigellosis);
- food poisoning and intestinal infections of unknown etiology;
- malabsorption syndrome;
- chronic constipation;
- bacterial vaginosis and colpitis;
- allergic diseases characterized by dysbacteriosis;
- pathology of the liver, intestines, pancreas - preoperative correction of intestinal microflora.
Reviews of Bifidumbacterin indicate the effectiveness of this drug in the prevention of mastitis in women who are breastfeeding.
Instructions for use of Bifidumbacterin
Bifidumbactin, the instructions confirm, can be used orally, rectally or intravaginally.
Bifidobacterin for newborns is prescribed during feeding, diluted in infant formula or breast milk. For patients of other age categories, the drug should be mixed with boiled water at room temperature (30-50 ml) or with a fermented milk product, although addition to liquid food is also acceptable.
After mixing, Bifidumbacterin should be drunk immediately without waiting for complete dissolution. It is recommended to take the drug with meals, however, if the need arises, Bifidumbacterin can be taken at any time.
For therapeutic purposes, Bifidumbacterin is prescribed according to the following scheme:
- children up to six months - 1 (5 doses) sachet for the first two or three days, 2-3 times a day, then the number of doses increases to 4-6 times;
- children from six months to three years – 1 sachet 3-4 times a day;
- children 3-7 years old - 1 sachet of Bifidumbacterin should be taken 3-5 times a day;
- adults and children over 7 years of age can take 2 (10 doses) sachets 3-4 times a day.
As Bifidumbacterin reviews testify, two to three courses of using the drug with one-month intervals give a more effective and long-lasting result.
Preventive use of the drug is carried out for 2-3 weeks in the following regimen:
- Bifidumbacterin for newborns is prescribed once a day in the amount of 1 package;
- Children over 6 months of age benefit from taking 1 packet 1-2 times a day;
- For adults and children over 3 years old, while maintaining the frequency of doses, the single dose is increased to 2 packets.
Treatment of the nipple and areola area in nursing women is carried out using a solution obtained by diluting 1 packet of Bifidobacterin in 10-15 ml of boiled water, half an hour before breastfeeding.
Bifidumbacterin suppositories for intestinal diseases are administered rectally: 3 times a day, 1-2 suppositories in combination with oral administration of the drug. The course of treatment with Bifidumbacterin suppositories for chronic forms of intestinal disorders is 15-30 days, and for acute forms – 7-10 days. In gynecological practice, Bifidumbacterin suppositories are used intravaginally 2 times a day, 1 (1 dose) suppository. The course of treatment is usually 5-10 days.
Side effects
Contraindications
Bifidumbacterin reviews indicate good tolerability of the drug.
In case of lactose deficiency in children and hypersensitivity to the components of Bifidumbacterin, the drug is not prescribed.

How to drink bifidumbacterin correctly for adults
Bifidumbacterin is one of the best drugs that restores the microflora of the intestines, vagina and other mucous membranes of internal organs. This medicine is especially often prescribed simultaneously with antibiotics, but the instructions for ampoules and capsules say that combining Bifidumbacterin with antibiotic therapy is not recommended. So who to trust - the instructions, or the attending physician? We will tell you how to take Bifidumbacterin without risk to your health.
How to take Bifidumbacterin correctly during antibiotic treatment?
Bifidumbacterin is prescribed for the treatment and prevention of dysbacteriosis in such cases as:
- preparation for surgery;
- poisoning;
- taking antibiotics;
- taking hormonal medications;
- abdominal operations;
- chemotherapy;
- decreased intestinal absorption, obstruction;
- internal infections.
For preventive purposes, adults are recommended to take 5 doses (1 ampoule) of the medicine orally twice a day for 10 days. For medicinal purposes, the number of doses increases to 3-4 times. Many people are interested in how to take Bifidumbacterin - before or after meals. The instructions for the drug recommend diluting the required amount of the drug in 40-50 ml of cold liquid and drinking it 20-30 minutes before meals. If you mix Bifidumbacterin with fermented milk products, you can take 230-300 ml of kefir or yogurt, dissolve the medicine in it, and this will be considered a complete meal; there is no need to eat anything additional. It is also allowed to dissolve Bifidumbacterin in liquid dishes directly during meals, but in this case it should be remembered that the food should not have a temperature above 40 degrees.
Along with antibiotic therapy, taking oral forms of the drug is really not recommended. It is better to replace the powder or capsules with suppositories and suppositories that are inserted into the rectum or vagina, depending on the need and direction of taking antibiotics. 1 candle or 1 suppository corresponds to 1 dose of medication, so the effectiveness of these forms of the drug is somewhat lower. This is why many people prefer to use oral forms even during antibiotic treatment. This is only permissible if 2-3 hours have passed between the time you took the antibiotic and the time you used Bifidumbacterin.
How to take Bifidumbacterin after antibiotics?
Now that you know how to take Bifidumbacterin and antibiotics, you should talk about the end period of antibiotic therapy. A rehabilitation course of Bifidumbacterin lasting 12-14 days is mandatory. During this period, you should drink 5 doses (1 ampoule) 3 times a day with meals.
Probably everyone already knows that consuming antibiotic drugs can be harmful to health. Such medications significantly worsen the state of microflora in the body, which can provoke the development of dysbacteriosis and severely damage the immune system. However, sometimes you simply cannot do without antibiotics, and in order to neutralize the harm from taking them, it is worth consuming in parallel medications that optimize the composition of the intestinal microflora. Such drugs are called probiotics, and today we will talk about one of them - Bifidumbacterin.
How is Bifidumbacterin useful?
This drug is available in various forms; it can be purchased as ampoules, vials, powder, capsules and suppositories. The medicinal composition in the form of ampoules and vials includes freeze-dried live bacteria (transferred from a frozen state to a dry state). These forms of Bifidumbacterin saturate the body with 10*7 live bacteria, in addition, they contain a milk-sugar-gelatin medium in which they were grown.
Bifidumbacterin powder contains a living microbial mass (10 * 8), which has been purified from the growing environment. The medicine with the addition of forte consists of colony-forming organisms (10*7), which are additionally immobilized (immobilized) using kernel activated carbon. Thanks to this, this type of medicinal composition carries out local colonization of the mucous membranes, which makes it possible to somewhat accelerate the process of restoring optimal microflora inside the digestive tract. Bifidumbacterin forte can be purchased in the form of powder or capsules, each unit of which contains five doses of bacteria.
When to take Bifidumbacterin?
Since the drug contains many active bifidobacteria, it effectively activates the activity of the digestive tract, digestion processes, as well as the body’s nonspecific resistance to various pathological factors. the lion's share of toxic elements.
From all this it follows that the instructions for use allow Bifidumbacterin to be prescribed for intestinal dysbacteriosis, including if they were provoked by the consumption of antibiotics, hormones, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as undergoing a course of therapy or severe stress. This medication is indicated for the treatment of dysbiosis that occurs in parallel with various ailments of the biliary tract, liver or digestive tract. It is prescribed to relieve dysbiosis in inflammatory processes in the urogenital tract, as well as in acute or chronic bronchitis and pneumonia.
Among other things, Bifidumbacterin can be used in the treatment of acute intestinal infections (rotavirus, staphylococcal enterocolitis, shigellosis and salmonellosis), food toxic infections and intestinal infections of unknown origin. It is used in the treatment of malabsorption syndrome, to eliminate constipation, bacterial colpitis and vaginosis. In some cases, Bifidumbacterin is used in the treatment of allergic diseases that are accompanied by the development of dysbacteriosis. It is also used for various pathologies of the liver, intestines or pancreas, as well as for preoperative correction of the microflora of the digestive tract.
Some experts prescribe this probiotic to women who are breastfeeding, in which case the drug prevents the development of mastitis.
There are good reviews about the use of Bifidumbacterin in newborns who are on artificial, mixed or donor feeding, in this case the medicine normalizes the balance of microorganisms inside the digestive tract.
How to take Bifidumbacterin? Dosage Bifidumbacterin
The drug can be used orally, rectally or intravaginally. Newborn babies are given the medicine during feeding, diluting it in breast milk or in a formula. In older adults, the medicine bifidumbacterin is mixed with boiled water (30-50 ml) or a fermented milk product. The drug is then consumed immediately. Children up to six months are prescribed one sachet of the drug two to three times a day (for two to three days), after which the amount of consumption can be increased to four to six times a day. From six months to one year, one sachet is prescribed three to four times a day. From three to seven years old it is recommended to drink one sachet three to five times a day. Adults and children over seven years old should consume two sachets three to four times a day. In this case, the duration of therapy reaches three to four weeks, and for the correction of acute intestinal infections - five to seven days.
To achieve a preventive effect, newborns are prescribed one sachet per day, once a day; from six months, the dose can be repeated twice a day. After three years and for adults, the drug is prescribed two packets once or twice a day.
What is the dosage of Bifidumbacterin when using suppositories?
Suppositories of the drug are administered rectally three times a day in the amount of one or two pieces, and in parallel, oral consumption of Bifidumbacterin is carried out. Treatment with Bifidumbacterin lasts two to four weeks, in the acute form – seven to ten days. For intravaginal administration, use one suppository twice a day for five to ten days.
What are the synonyms for Bifidumbacterin? What to replace it with?
Such medicinal compositions as “Biomass of bifidobacteria”, “Bifinorm”, and also “Probifor” have a similar composition or effect.
Before using this composition, it is advisable to consult a doctor.
Name: Bifidumbacterin powder (Bifidumbacterinum in pulveris)
Indications for use: Acute intestinal infections, dysbacteriosis (disturbance in the composition of normal microflora) of the intestine, chronic inflammatory diseases of the small and large intestines, intestinal dysfunction (impaired intestinal function) against the background of dysbacteriosis, long-term intestinal dysfunction, early transfer of infants to artificial feeding, complex treatment of children with sepsis (blood poisoning by microbes from a source of purulent inflammation), pneumonia (pneumonia); sanitation (elimination and prevention of diseases) of the female genital tract, prenatal preparation of pregnant women with violation of the purity of vaginal secretion (specific discharge of vaginal cells) of the III-IV degree, senile colpitis (senile inflammation of the vaginal mucosa), prevention of mastitis (inflammation of breast tissue) during breastfeeding.
Pharmacological action: Has antibacterial activity against a wide range of pathogenic (causing human diseases) and opportunistic (capable of causing human disease under certain conditions) bacteria, restores intestinal microflora, normalizes the activity of the gastrointestinal tract, has immunomodulatory (affecting the body's defenses) properties .
Bifidumbacterin powder: method of use and dosage: For adults with intestinal dysbiosis, 5 doses of the product are prescribed orally 3 times a day. The duration of treatment is determined depending on the severity of clinical manifestations. Usually it lasts 2-4 weeks, in some cases - up to 3 months. In order to prevent intestinal dysbiosis, the product is prescribed orally in 5 doses 1-2 times a day for 1-2 weeks. For intestinal dysbiosis in newborns of the “risk” group, the product is prescribed orally from the first day of life, 1-2 doses 3 times a day. For children older than the first six months of life, the product is prescribed orally, 3 doses 3 times a day. For infants, the product is given orally immediately before feeding. For children in the second six months of life and older - 5 doses 2-3 times a day. For children, in order to prevent intestinal dysbiosis during sepsis, pneumonia and other purulent infectious diseases, the product is prescribed orally 2-3 doses 3 times a day. If children develop dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract and the threat of developing necrotizing ulcerative enterocolitis (inflammatory disease of the small and large intestine), the daily dose is increased to 10 doses. To prevent mastitis, the product solution is used to treat the nipple and within the nipple area of the mammary glands. The drug is applied with a sterile swab 20-30 minutes before feeding, 2-2.5 doses for 5 days. A tampon soaked in the product is left on the surface of the mammary gland before feeding. For colpitis and impaired vaginal secretion of the III-IV degree in pregnant women at risk, the product solution is used intravaginally (in the vagina).

Bifidumbacterin
It is difficult to overestimate the role of antibiotics for humanity. They have certainly saved many lives due to their high effectiveness in combating various infections. But despite this, antibiotics also have side effects. One of them is an extremely adverse effect on the intestinal microflora. Antibiotics do not choose which bacteria and microorganisms they destroy - harmful or beneficial. Everyone gets hit. Because of this, the beneficial and much needed intestinal microflora suffers. Bloating and stool upset appear. This is why it is so important not to overuse antibiotics and take them strictly as prescribed by your doctor. After all, due to the fact that beneficial microflora suffers, such an unpleasant phenomenon as dysbacteriosis develops. Even the immune system can suffer because of it. But very often antibiotics are really necessary. So what should we do? How to ensure that after treatment with antibiotics the beneficial intestinal microflora suffers minimal damage? In order to somehow protect yourself and minimize the harmful effects of antibiotics, medications are used that can optimize the intestinal microflora. They should be used in parallel with antibiotics. Then there is a chance that the intestinal microflora will be maximally protected. These drugs are called probiotics. We will look at one of the most famous and frequently used probiotic agents - Bifidumbacterin. If you are prescribed Bifidumbacterin or Bifidumbacterin forte, the instructions for use will help you figure out what doses to take, with what frequency, and how to properly prepare the suspension.
Bifidumbacterin has been used in medical practice for a long time. It is a well-known probiotic. Probiotics are a group of drugs and dietary supplements that contain live microorganisms. These microorganisms are representatives of the beneficial microflora of the human intestine. They help restore normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and eliminate acute and chronic intestinal disorders. As the name suggests, Bifidumbacterin contains bifidum bacteria. Its strains are grown on a special nutrient medium and then dried. Most often, this drug is taken in the form of a suspension. The suspension is prepared from the powder contained in ampoules. This powder is diluted with boiled water at room temperature, milk or fermented milk product. When it is diluted with water, the result is a cloudy liquid. If you have been prescribed Bifidumbacterin, the instructions for use will help you use the powder to prepare a suspension. Bifidumbacterin is very useful for the gastrointestinal tract. It significantly improves its performance. The drug also helps normalize metabolism. Thanks to this, the body begins to receive more nutrients from food, and they are better absorbed. Bifidumbacterin is often prescribed for various intestinal diseases, both acute and chronic. Its beneficial microorganisms help cope with toxins. It has also been noted that due to the smooth functioning of the intestines, the immune system is strengthened. The body becomes more resistant to the influence of infections and other pathogenic factors. If there are problems with the intestines, then it is advisable to take the drug orally. If there are problems with gynecological pathology, then Bifidumbacterin is used intravaginally or externally.
For gynecological problems, you need to prepare a suspension, as usual, moisten a sterile tampon in it and insert it inside the vagina for 2-3 hours. Use only freshly prepared suspension. The instructions and doctor's prescription will help you choose the dose of the drug. The instructions describe exactly what dose will be required at a specific age and for the treatment of specific diseases. Your doctor will help you correctly calculate the effective dose. It will depend on various factors: the complexity of the disease, age.
When should you take Bifidumbacterin?
Bifidumbacterin is used for the following pathologies:
- Disruption of the normal state of beneficial microflora in the intestines (dysbacteriosis);
- Acute intestinal infections (viral diarrhea, dysentery, salmonellosis, etc.);
- Syndrome of impaired absorption from the gastrointestinal tract;
- Chronic constipation;
- Foodborne infections with toxic consequences;
- Before and after operations, if there are problems with the gastrointestinal tract, liver or bile ducts;
- Pi allergies, which manifests itself in the form of dysbacteriosis;
- If a child or adult often suffers from ARVI;
- After long-term treatment with antibiotics during the recovery period;
- After hormonal or radiation therapy;
- If an infant switches to artificial feeding too early;
- In the complex treatment of newborns or premature infants;
- In gynecology for dishormonal vaginosis and staphylococcal colpitis;
- Preparing a pregnant woman for childbirth if the vaginal cleanliness is grade III or IV.
What may be contraindications to taking Bifidumbacterin?
There is no data yet on any conditions in which the use of this drug would be contraindicated. But it must be taken when needed.
If this medicine is taken correctly, taking into account all the requirements of the instructions, there should be no side effects. It is important to prepare the suspension correctly and comply with the required dosage. Despite the fact that this drug has virtually no contraindications, take it after your doctor’s prescription!
You should not take Bifidumbacterin orally at the same time as using antibiotics. If you are undergoing treatment with antiviral drugs or antibiotics, then it is better to opt for other forms of Bifidumbacterin. These could be candles.
Vitamins from group B can enhance the effect of Bifidumbacterin.
Do not use a medicine that has already expired. If you notice that the packaging is damaged, also refuse to use it.
According to patients who have already taken Bifidumbacterin, as well as doctors who have been using it in their practice for a long time, thanks to this drug, the patient’s body not only restores beneficial microflora, but also strengthens the immune system.
Is Bifidumbacterin useful?
Bifidumbacterin is well known as an effective probiotic that can be used from the first days of life. It is prescribed even to newborns in order to quickly normalize the microflora of their immature intestines. It is produced in various forms: bottles, ampoules, candles, powder, capsules. What does this miracle drug consist of? Bifidumbacterin, which is sold in ampoules or vials, contains bacteria that have been specially dried. These are live bacteria that have been first frozen and then dried. This Bifidumbacterin quickly provides the body with live bacteria (10*7). In addition to the bacteria themselves, this drug also contains auxiliary substances. They are grown and preserved in a medium of milk, sugar and gelatin.
You can use other forms of Bifidumbacterin. The powder of this drug, for example, contains a mass of living microbes in an amount of 10 * 8. These microbes were previously purified from their growing environment, unlike those in ampoules and vials. But if you come across the drug Bifidumbacterin-forte, then this prefix means that it contains colony-forming organisms. To immobilize them, activated charcoal is used. This technique is called immobilization (immobilization). Thanks to it, Bifidumbacterin in powder form is used to locally colonize certain mucous membranes. This technique is used when it is necessary to quickly restore normal microflora in the gastrointestinal tract. Bifidumbacterin-forte can be either in powder or capsules. Each capsule contains five doses of beneficial bacteria.
How to take Bifidumbacterin correctly?
Let's start with the fact that despite all the usefulness and apparent harmlessness of this drug, it can be taken strictly as prescribed by a doctor. He will help you choose the form of medication that will be most convenient and optimal for you. When taking the drug, strictly follow the instructions. Since Bifidumbacterin contains a lot of active and beneficial bifidobacteria, it can quickly normalize the state of the gastrointestinal tract. It will help improve the digestion process and eliminate dyspepsia. Thanks to Bifidumbacterin, the body also develops resistance to adverse factors and toxic substances.
Bifidumbacterin is prescribed for dysbacteriosis of various origins. By the way, not only antibiotics can provoke dysbiosis. It can occur due to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, hormones, or courses of treatment with certain medications. Even severe stress can trigger the appearance of dysbiosis. It is very useful to use Bifidumbacterin in cases where dysbacteriosis occurs against the background of various pathologies of the digestive tract, liver, and bile ducts. It is also used to alleviate the condition of patients with pneumonia, bronchitis (chronic), and urogenital inflammation.
In addition, Bifidumbacterin is also used for acute intestinal infections (staphylococcal enterocolitis, rotavirus, salmonellosis, shigellosis), as well as for food toxic infections. If the patient suffers from an intestinal infection of unknown origin, then Bifidumbacterin is used to combat it. This unique drug helps with malabsorption syndrome, bacterial colpitis, and to combat constipation. For vaginosis, it helps restore the vaginal microflora. Sometimes doctors may prescribe Bifidumbacterin to eliminate the effects of allergies if they are associated with manifestations of dysbacteriosis. It is indispensable for pathological conditions not only of the intestines, but also of the liver and pancreas. Before carrying out various types of operations, Bifidumbacterin helps restore the microflora of the intestines and digestive tract as a whole.
This probiotic can even be prescribed to a nursing mother to prevent such a dangerous phenomenon as mastitis. So, we see that Bifidumbacterin is very widely used to treat adults. Its probiotic properties have long been recognized and are difficult to overestimate. But its scope of application is not limited to this. The use of Bifidumbacterin for newborns gave excellent results. Its use is especially important for those babies who are bottle-fed, donor-fed or mixed-fed. This unique medicine helps balance beneficial and opportunistic bacteria in their immature digestive tract. Newborns often experience such an unpleasant phenomenon as colic. Doctors have not yet fully established their exact cause and mechanism of development, but it has been noted that the use of probiotics, and in particular Bifidumbacterin, reduces their frequency. And after the baby is three months old, colic usually stops bothering him at all.
Taking Bifidumbacterin correctly
In order for the therapeutic effect of this drug to be maximum, you need to take it correctly. The doctor will prescribe you a specific form of the drug and select the optimal treatment regimen for you. We have already mentioned that the drug is available in different forms. It can, accordingly, be used not only orally, but intravaginally and rectally. For newborns, it is advisable to use the drug during direct feeding. To do this, it must be diluted in formula or breast milk. There is another option. You can treat the nipple and areola directly with a prepared suspension of Bifidumbacterin before feeding the baby. To do this, you need to take a sterile cotton swab and soak it in the resulting liquid (2.5 doses over 5 days). This manipulation should be done half an hour before feeding. Then there will be strains of beneficial bacteria on the nipple, which will reach the baby during feeding.
To prepare the suspension, you need to take a teaspoon of water (boiled). Its temperature should be no higher than 40 degrees so that the bacteria do not die. Water is added to the bottle with dry Bifidumbacterin. The resulting suspension should be taken immediately, before meals, 20-30 minutes. It is unacceptable to store the prepared suspension, as it completely loses its medicinal properties.
For older children, Bifidumbacterin should be diluted in boiled water (30-50 ml) or any fermented milk product. The diluted drug must be consumed immediately so that the beneficial bacteria do not die. It is better to do this within 2-3 minutes. Until they reach six months, children are prescribed one sachet of Bifidumbacterin per day. It is divided into 2-3 times and taken before meals. Older children can take the drug more often – 4-6 times a day. For children aged six months to one year, one sachet is prescribed three times a day. From three to seven years old, one sachet is prescribed 3-5 times a day. For older children (from 7 years old) and adults, it is acceptable to use two sachets 3-4 times a day. This treatment usually lasts three to four weeks. In the case of correction of acute intestinal infections, the drug should act for five to seven days.
Sometimes the drug is prescribed for prophylaxis. To prevent dysbiosis in newborns, one sachet is used once a day, from six months - 2 sachets 1-2 times a day.
The oral form of Bifidumbacterin is most often used. But do not forget that it can also be in the form of candles. Suppositories are prescribed for problems with intestinal microflora. They are used as follows. The suppositories need to be administered three times a day, rectally, one or two pieces at a time. The exact quantity and regimen of use is prescribed exclusively by the doctor. Along with the use of suppositories, it is advisable to take this drug orally. This way you can achieve the maximum therapeutic effect. The course of treatment will be from two to four weeks. This depends on the complexity of the disease and the individual characteristics of the patient’s body. In acute cases, treatment will take 7-10 days. Suppositories are also used for intravaginal use. In this case, one suppository is inserted into the vagina twice a day. The course of treatment is 5-10 days.
Bifidumbacterin analogs
Like many other medicines, Bifidumbacterin has analogues. The active ingredient in them is approximately the same. Yes, and the principle of operation is the same. Analogues of Bifidumbacterin are the following drugs:
- "Bifinorm";
- "Biomass of bifidobacteria";
- "Probifor".
As can be seen from all these names, the active ingredient in them is beneficial bacteria. They were grown on a special nutrient medium and when they enter the body they begin to multiply on the mucous membrane.
So, Bifidumbacterin is an effective and safe remedy for combating various pathologies. The main thing is to use it rationally and following the dosage.
