Enterofuril was advised by a doctor who visited our child on the wire of pain in the navel. Since the spectrum is limited, this medicine was prescribed (at first there were doubts, since it is still from diarrhea, although it helps well from diarrhea), plus they also assigned Smecta. As a result, the pain was gone on the second day, the child became cheerful and healthy.

Enterofuril was prescribed to my 4-month-old daughter from a dysbacteriosis (plus enterol and flucostat). But to be honest, no improvement has taken place, the third pediatrician has already been replaced.

Oksana, dysbiosis is often a consequence of various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, which leads to a violation of its microflora, so you should always start with a complete examination, the more medicinal products you have already tried a lot, and the effect as I understood there.

We did not make friends with Enterofuril. We were appointed by the pediatrician when we complained of diarrhea, vomiting and fever. It turned out that the cause of all this was the first teeth. But here from the Enterofuril I waited for the effect, I thought diarrhea would stop. But it was not there. We defied five more days. Enterol and Smecta helped.
Guests
Yuliya
We also prescribed, but diarrhea does not pass. Maybe also because of teeth? And why does not it help? It seems even worse from him. Expensive, but there is no effect ...
Administrators

YuliyaTherefore, the reason lies either in the ineffectiveness of the medicine itself for diarrhea, or in the cause of the disease. Enterofuril destroys pathogens that can cause diarrhea, and if the disorders are functional, that is, caused by non-causative agents, then it will not naturally help. Therefore, the doctor must establish the cause of diarrhea and then treat it.

Olga.
And I'm for Enterofuril and only! The baby had diarrhea 20 times a day, plus vomiting and a temperature of 39.5.The pediatrician appointed entorol and regidron and it took 4 days to start giving Enterofuril, the diarrhea ceased, the child recovers (1.5 months).
I think that choosing a medicine is a matter of practice, otherwise you will not understand what the child will do in your case, and what is not. Do not be ill.

Why release Enterofuril 100 because it is up to 3 years can not, and after 3 should be given immediately to 2 capsules?
Administrators
admin
Sofi, No idea. And it's better to ask the manufacturer about it. For children, there is a suspension for accurate infant dosage, and for adults, 200 mg (200, 400, 600 mg) is enough for dosing. Did not hear and did not use for example a dosage of 300 mg per reception.

The child had a temperature of 40, the pediatrician prescribed an antibiotic. We drink 4 day. At the child (3 years) a liquid chair and he does not reach the toilet and pot, can I give enterofuril ???
Administrators

Marina, Try to give something better from probiotics - Bifidumbacterin, Linex or any other drug from this group, these are more likely to help.I understand that soon you will end up taking an antibiotic, but then do not stop the probiotics, since they will help restore the microflora of the child's gastrointestinal tract during the recovery period.

Enterofuril also helps with diarrhea infectious nature (when something is not eaten).

And the standard: if the diarrhea does not pass within a week after taking antibiotics - go to the doctor, then the problem is more serious and at home with her can not cope.

Hello, I have a question. To my daughter 6,5 months. We were given enterofuril in capsules, because it is not allergic to us.How to properly give the capsule ??? Diluted with water?
Administrators

olga, Yes, open the capsule and dilute in a water or in a stew something that the child loves. It is true to dose this way for children is difficult, it is necessary to eat or drink all the food or liquid with the medicine. The effect of the drug will be particularly detrimental because of this it should not.

I can not find anywhere when to give this medicine - before meals, after, during (or instead of)? Baby 7 months.

VladimirIf the child is very small, then the drug must be mixed in the food, because otherwise you will not enter it. For adults, there is no particular difference - before meals or after, I prefer to give before meals (for half an hour-hour), since the drug is still not absorbed in the intestines, but works in its lumen, so it is better that there was at that moment nothing excess.

I can not understand the instructions to the preparation. It is written that it is necessary to take 4 times a day with an interval of 8 hours. But this does not work, 24: 8 = 3! We were prescribed to drink enterofuril 3 times a day, the child had exactly one year. Also need to withstand between meals for 8 hours?
Administrators

valyahr, The instructions do not have an interval of 8 hours. There is an indication of the frequency of admission: 4 or 2-3 times a day. For a child over 7 months of age, the recommended frequency of administration of Enterofuril 4 times a day (that is, with an interval of 6 hours).

The child is 1,2 years old. With a week like a baby's diarrhea, but I will not say that it's like poisoning, the chair is thicker, it's lighter. To the gastroenterologist to not get to hand over any analyzes. We are engaged in self-medication. She gave the smect three days, without changes. Now I give the fourth day of enterofuril, in principle, too, without any changes. Only the color of the feces has changed. Whether application of the given preparation is fraught with? And more a question, whether it is necessary to exclude milk porridges, mixes and dairy products when we drink enterofuril?
Administrators

Natalia Yurina, Consult a doctor, start with a pediatrician, not a gastroenterologist. On the fourth day, at least some effect from the use of Enterofuril should already be. Your child probably does not have a bacterial intestinal infection.

With milk and dairy products Enterofuril combined, but with rotavirus (a common cause of pediatric diarrhea) milk should be limited.

Hello! My son is 5.5 months old, according to the analysis, there is a slight excess of Staphylococcus aureus and the doctor prescribed Enterofuril along with Acipol. Tell me, does this tool help with this problem?

mal_187, Usually, when sowing on bacteria is determined simultaneously and the sensitivity of the sown pathogen to antibiotics. You should have been told what antibiotics are sensitive to staphylococcus, sown from your child. Empirically (experimentally) treatment is prescribed normal, not too strong, allowed to children, but to say that it definitely can not help.

Hello! Suddenly, the temperature rose to 39, chills and a loose stool. Often. The doctor diagnosed a viral infection. The whole night is the same. Began to take along with the appointed ergoferon, enterofuril. After two full days of admission, the loose stool passed, but the discomfort remained: nausea, gas formation, belching.Whether to continue still enterofuril or it is possible to stop?

Irina, Most likely the organism has not recovered after the transferred intestinal infection, therefore the preparation of Enterofuril can be continued. Perhaps the purpose of eubiotics and probiotics is indicated, but to justify and prescribe this group of drugs, you should consult your doctor.

Hello. Has got with the child two years in an infection, plentiful vomiting, temperatures are not present, the diarrhea is not present. We spent three days shopping. Appetite is normal, stool is normal, there is no vomiting, but I lost 2 kg. On Saturday, they discharged home the blood was told normal, urine too, they do not see any special deviations. On Monday, there was a slight vomiting and twice diarrhea with water, gave her enterofuril, hydrovit, smect, linex. Vomiting did not recur, diarrhea also, the appetite rose, ate a bowl of rice soup on the broth, pisyat walks once an hour, I now do not know to go to the infection again, or watch this treatment. There is no special temperature, 37 exactly, but thinner, I fatten as much as I can.

Alla, While nowhere to go is not necessary. Watch the child further, I see no cause for concern. After acute intestinal infections, it is not necessary to feed children, although it is necessary to know the age (in the question is not specified), but the norms and the weight limits of the child for his age can be found on the Internet or at the local pediatrician at the next reception and already from this proceed in matters of feeding.

She took Enterofuril in suspension, when the doctor suspected intestinal infection. She directed her to staphylococcus, but the suspension was taken immediately. The diarrhea stopped in the evening. There was still a thin stool, but no longer with water. At night, there was a dilute chair twice, and in the morning already a thick slurry. By evening, the diarrhea had already stopped, and the next day there was a normal stool. Boring in the intestines became less intense 3 hours after the intake and the baby calmed down, as the pain and pain ceased. As a medicine, Enterofuril is good and it only has one drawback - it's keeping it open for only 2 weeks. Therefore, the remnants must be discarded immediately.

Based on the experience of using Enterofuril, I can say that he heals quickly, and our pediatrician says that it is painless for the intestinal microflora. I remember how, after the antibiotic, a lot of everything was taken for the intestine, and after Enterofuril nothing.

And I inadvertently drank enterofuril 200 in a double dose for two days, and then two days later I started such flatulence and pains in my stomach that I would not wish anyone ... I got very sick from an overdose of enterofuril. I did not immediately realize that I had an overdose, and then I drank 10 capsules instead of four as prescribed. And my intestine just stopped digesting food. Therefore, those who say that enterofuril does not kill useful microflora, I can argue. At least in double doses exactly kills. Two months already I am flied or treated. At me now a strong dysbacteriosis after such doses of a preparation. And all gastroenterologists, from whom I later registered, told me that this is an antibiotic. And the flora was told to restore more than one month. Therefore, be more careful with this drug, it's not that he is harmless,as they try to present in the instructions.
