Lying in hospital with a toxicosis of pregnancy, put drippers with Essentiale. At the time of discharge, the condition worsened, again the symptoms of a terrible toxemia appeared again, nausea and vomiting did not pass. A local gynecologist prescribed Hofitol, said that this drug can be taken during pregnancy and I need to help him, although he is only choleretic, but doctors know better. So it all happened, the effect was almost the same as that of the drippers of expensive Essentiale, but the price was lower by an order of magnitude. Why pay more - if they help alike?

During pregnancy, I had problems with the gallbladder, or rather, severe pain in this area, and I was prescribed hofitol. The drug is good, it really helps, the price is moderate, you can take it during pregnancy. Only now I found it with difficulty. All the pharmacies of the city ran around, is it really going to be taken out of production or is there a problem with the supply of this medicine? The first time I managed to find one pack in the city, and the second time I already took an analog.

DoRa, that it is hard to believe that the drug effect is better than Essentiale. In my opinion, it affects the liver worse, but with the gall bladder there may be an effect. Admin, interesting view specialist ...

NicoleIf I were to choose between two drugs to treat liver problems, then of course I chose Essentiale, not Hofitol. The latter is more choleretic, rather than restoring the structure of the liver drug. But sometimes it fits well, especially if the patient is simply prescribed a drug without proper examination and his problems did not lie in the organic lesions of the liver, but, say, dyskinesia of the bile ducts.At once, bitterness goes away and even jaundice. To each his own.

And Hofitol helped me a lot! The doctor prescribed it for the treatment of biliary dyskinesia, said that Hofitol improves the production of bile and its outflow. For a long time I suffered from nausea, heaviness in my right side and bitterness in my mouth, after taking the course of the drug it all passed! There were no side effects, and it should not be like them, the drug is natural. Impressions positive from him - effective, safe and well tolerated! If there are problems with the gallbladder - I advise you to pay attention!

Passed or took place prophylactic medical examination, the endocrinologist has registered to drink 1,5 months hofitol once a year. I do not understand why? Analyzes at me in norm or rate. The doctor said that for weight loss, excess weight I have a kilogram 5. Is the advice correct?

Light A, Due to the cholagogue effect of Hofitol achieve weight loss? Doubtful advice is given out by your doctor. Especially 5 kg is a very slight excess of weight to correct it.For example, for hypersthenics (so-called people with a broad bone) plus 5 kg can be a variant of the norm. If you really want to help a person lose weight - send him to a dietician, and do not juggle with drugs that help someone to reduce weight in this way, but some do not. If there are no health problems, I would not do anything, only periodically controlled the weight and slightly limited the calorie content of the food.

Hofitol is the No. 1 drug in our family.
At my child at the age of 2.5 years found DZHVP. Since birth, there have been the following symptoms: constipation, abdominal pain, worse after eating, at the age of 6-10 months, terrible dying wounds on the body - we thought that the allergy to cow and chicken products ...
Our problem consisted in the fact that we were diagnosed with one (DZHVP by hypotonic type), and the treatment was prescribed another - as in the case of hyper-type.I for a long time could not understand, why from treatment to us only is worse ... Then itself has sat down for directories and has found out discrepancy of purpose or appointment. At that time, the child was almost 5 years old, and we went to the toilet alone with great difficulty ... The child did not know any delicacies: neither the ice cream nor the cake - all the time of the diet, feared exacerbations ... The slightest violation of the diet - the child complains, that the stomach or belly hurts also "unpleasantly" - probably, a nausea. That's when I read my diagnosis and found articles about a fundamentally different approach to treatment. It turned out that everything we did should be done on the contrary: instead of warm water, drink on an empty stomach, instead of sedative drops take tonics and instead drink flamina hofitol! So, I myself painted the scheme of treatment and began to give the child 1 ml of a solution of hofitol + a few drops (by the number of years) of ginseng or eleuterococcus half an hour before meals in 100 ml of water. This was preparing the system for eating: by the time of breakfast the lazy bile had already woken up and began to work - it saved the child from pain after eating. Literally every other day the child had a daily chair without any help (as it was before).The scheme of reception of a hofitol was such: 1 ml 2 times a day before meal (morning-evening) 2 weeks in 2 weeks within half a year. I was very worried when the first two weeks were over, that with the suspension of taking the drug, constipation would return, but no. Moreover, the child had a desire (which was not previously there) and a mode of bowel movement. This was the end of our long suffering.
Now my daughter is 12 years old, thankful to Hofitol - we remember our problems as a terrible dream. However, I try to give it about twice a year (spring / autumn) for prophylaxis: now we eat chips, chocolate, and all the nonsense that adolescents love so much. But during trips and summer camps, I always give her with the Hofitol tablets - it helps to safely switch to a different diet and other water.
What I want to note: the diagnosis of DZHVP without indicating the type is a danger of receiving the wrong treatment and wasting time (as it was with us). Be sure to do an ultrasound with choleretic breakfast to identify the type. And check if you have a competent doctor ...
