Analogues of Lactazar in the presence of existing structural analogs.Use for the treatment of colic, diarrhea with intolerance to milk and dairy products for lactase deficiency in adults, children (including infants and newborns), as well as during pregnancy and lactation. Composition of the preparation.

Lactazar - recommended as a biologically active additive (BAA) to food - a source of the enzyme lactase.

Milk (including breast), in addition to various essential components, is a source of lactose (milk sugar).

Lactose is:

• a source of energy, because 80-85% of all carbohydrates in breast milk are lactose;
• an important element for the development of the nervous system and organs of vision;
• the full assimilation of lactose maintains a normal intestinal microflora.

Often, the human body (including infants and newborns) can not fully absorb the beneficial lactose. In adult patients, about 25% of people in the population do not have the proper amount of lactase enzyme for splitting lactose in milk and dairy products.

In infants, the immature intestine only adapts to a new kind of food. Gradual ripening of enzymatic systems occurs.One of the key enzymes is lactase, which helps the baby to digest lactose in breast milk.

What happens in the intestines?

With lactase deficiency, a characteristic symptom complex appears in the form of colic, bloating and unstable stool in most patients associated with the use of milk and dairy products. Not completely digested lactose enters the large intestine, where it begins to ferment with increased formation of gases and promotes the development of diarrhea and dysbiosis. The accumulated gases inflate individual parts of the intestine, provoking the patient's colic and bloating. With prolonged deficiency of lactase in children, there may be an unstable chair of yellow-green color with an acidic odor.

The appearance of a deficiency of the enzyme arises as a result of immaturity of enzyme systems in infants and newborns, with chronic intestinal diseases, infectious diseases of the intestine during subsequent recovery.

Often, adult patients, as well as parents of young children, try to treat colic with drugs that reduce gas production or colonize the intestine with a normal microflora.However, these drugs can not affect the frequent cause of colic when lactase deficiency is present. In such cases, to solve these problems from the first days of life, you can use natural Lactazar, which replenishes the natural deficiency of lactase and helps to properly digest milk and dairy products and the lactose contained in them.

Composition

Natural enzyme lactase + auxiliary substances.

Indications

• discomfort in the intestine, increased gas production (colic), unstable stool (diarrhea or diarrhea, constipation) associated with impaired lactose uptake;
• temporary lactase deficiency associated with insufficient maturity of the digestive system;
• a genetically determined lack of lactase;
• with diseases of the intestine (dysbacteriosis, bacterial and viral infections, infection with parasites).

Forms of release

Capsules 550 mg (for adults and children over 7 years).

Capsules 150 mg (for babies and newborns under the age of 5 years).

Instructions for use and usage diagram

Lactazar for children (capsules 150 mg)

Important:

1. Lactazar must be used in every milk feeding, without missing a dose.
2. Lactazar can be used without prior fermentation of milk. And this greatly facilitates the life of the mother (do not express and wait), especially when feeding at night or on demand.
3. Lactazar acts only on the carbohydrate of milk, which feed the baby.
4. Children under the age of 5 years should be given only the contents of the capsule without a gelatinous shell. Starting from 5 years of age and older, Lactazar can be taken as a powder added to food containing lactose, and in the form of capsules.
