Composition and effect of the drug.
Lactofiltrum - The pharmacological effect of the drug is due to the properties of its active ingredients - lignin and lactulose.
Lignin hydrolyzed - a natural enterosorbent, consisting of products of hydrolysis of wood components, has a high sorption activity and nonspecific detoxification action. Binds in the intestines and removes from the body pathogenic bacteria and bacterial toxins, drugs, heavy metal salts, alcohol, allergens, as well as an excess of certain metabolic products, incl. bilirubin, cholesterol, histamine, serotonin, urea, other metabolites responsible for the development of endogenous toxicosis.
Lactulose is a synthetic disaccharide, the molecule of which consists of the remains of galactose and fructose. In the large intestine, lactulose as a substrate is fermented by normal intestinal microflora, stimulating the growth of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. As a result of hydrolysis of lactulose in the large intestine, organic acids are formed-lactic, acetic and formic, inhibiting the growth of pathogenic microorganisms and thereby reducing the production of nitrogen-containing toxic substances.The described process leads to an increase in osmotic pressure in the lumen of the large intestine and stimulation of peristalsis.
The complex effect of the drug is aimed at normalizing the large intestine microbiocenosis and reducing the intensity of endogenous toxic conditions.
Pharmacokinetics
Lignin hydrolyzed is not absorbed, completely eliminated from the intestine within 24 hours.
Lactulose in the stomach and upper intestine is not absorbed and not hydrolyzed. Hydrolysis of lactulose occurs in the large intestine.

Lignin hydrolyzed + Lactulose + auxiliary substances.
