Filtrum-STI: composition, properties, method of application, side effects

Filtrum STI is a modern medicine that can help cure various types of poisoning. The product has the ability to bind and remove harmful bacteria, toxic, poisonous residues, alcoholic beverages, and allergens from the human body.

The drug is a natural enterosorbent. It contains a substance that is obtained from wood. This component is unique; it has sorption properties, since its internal part is well developed and has a porous structure. The medicine perfectly absorbs harmful components, since the drug has an increased sorption capacity; it absorbs more toxins than medicines based on activated carbon.

Price

The cost of Filtrum-STI is on average 188 rubles.
Prices range from 75 to 353 rubles. "Filtrum - STI" is an effective natural sorbent that has a universal effect on toxins of any origin. The sorbent contained in the medicine is effective in combating exogenous and endogenous poisoning and has a pronounced cleansing effect due to the high sorption of toxins. The active sorbent in the drug is hydrolytic lignin, which is extracted from plant materials, so the drug is completely natural and environmentally friendly. The product is used as a detoxification drug with a high degree of sorption for adults and children, as well as during pregnancy.

It is available in convenient dosage forms, so taking the tablets is convenient and pleasant. The drug has a fairly wide range of indications, but its use is typical for severe poisoning with drugs, food, heavy metals and alkaloids. Hydrolyzed lignin is a brown powder, but as part of Filtrumsti it is available in a dosage form convenient for taking it internally at any convenient time. Therefore, the use of the drug is advisable both for the initial symptoms of poisoning and for complex therapy.

Non-structural analogues

Non-structural analogues contain a different active moiety. Medicines have similar properties. Non-structural analogues include cheap and expensive drugs. Their effectiveness varies.

Enterosgel

You can replace Lactofiltrum with Enterosgel. The medicine has a higher cost. In terms of effectiveness, it is not inferior to Lactofiltrum. In some situations, the drug helps even better. The active component is polymethylsiloxane polyhydrate.

The analogue is indicated for use in cases of intoxication, poisoning, intestinal infectious pathologies, as well as allergic diseases. The drug can be used in surgery for purulent diseases, including septic conditions. Allowed for use in case of dysbacteriosis. The medicine adsorbs bilirubin, nitrogen, heavy metals and other toxic elements well. The drug can be used for babies under 12 months of age. The product can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Enterumin

An analogue of Lactofiltrum is Enterumin. The product has approximately the same cost as Lactofiltrum. The instructions describe that the active component is aluminum oxide, which is coated with carbon. The drug is produced in powder form. The combination of active elements allows you to bind harmful substances in the intestinal cavity and relieve symptoms of intoxication. The sorption effect of the analogue is very high.

The analogue does not change the electrolyte balance. Enterumin captures heavy metals well and promotes their elimination. Does not reduce the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the intestinal cavity, which is necessary for intestinal peristaltic activity.

Filtrum

The next analogue of Laktofiltrum is cheap - the drug Filtrum. This medication is produced by a Russian company, which also produces the claimed product. This substitute contains lignin. What distinguishes the medicine from “Lactofiltrum” is that it does not contain lactulose. The cost of 50 tablets is 290 rubles. This is more than 100 rubles cheaper than the advertised drug. “Filtrum” is prescribed for toxic infections caused by food, poisoning of various types, and allergies. It is used for cleansing. The drug is positioned as an effective and safe remedy that can be used even when treating children and expectant mothers. It is forbidden to use “Filtrum” if you are hypersensitive to it or have a stomach ulcer.

Smecta

It’s safe to say that this analogue of Laktofiltrum is cheap. One packet of Smecta powder costs only 15-20 rubles. A distinctive feature of this product is its pleasant taste. This medication is convenient to give to young children. The composition contains dioctahedral smectite. The drug removes harmful substances from the intestines: poisons, toxins, breakdown products, allergens. It stops diarrhea, helps reduce flatulence and bloating. It is used in children from the first days of life. The active substance is not absorbed into the bloodstream. This Russian-made substitute should not be used if you are intolerant to fructose and lactose.

Polysorb

Polysorb is a high-quality domestic substitute for Lactofiltrum. The drug effectively copes with poisoning of various origins. Prescribed for diarrhea, dysbacteriosis, food or drug allergies, poisoning with strong toxins.

Doctors often recommend Polysorb to patients working in hazardous enterprises and living in environmentally unfavorable areas. In terms of the degree of preventive and therapeutic effects on the body, the analogue is not inferior to the original drug.

Activated carbon

This is the cheapest analogue of Lactofiltrum tablets, which is sold in every pharmacy and is available without a prescription. Activated carbon does not cause side effects and is approved for small children. Description:

• release form: tablets, black powder;
• composition: activated carbon, potato starch;
• principle of action: adsorbs and removes toxins, relieves symptoms of intoxication of the body;
• price: 20 rubles (Table No. 10).

Vacation conditions and price

The average cost of Filtrum-STI (400 mg tablets No. 50) in Moscow is 285 rubles. Sold without a prescription.

The shelf life of Filtrum-STI tablets is 2 years from the date of manufacture. They should be stored in the original original packaging, in a dark, dry place, out of reach of children, at an air temperature not exceeding +30 C.

The intestines do not always work normally. Viruses, uncontrolled use of medications, and low-quality products disrupt its functioning. Toxins and harmful substances accumulate in the body. To remove them, it is recommended to use drugs with a laxative effect. Complete bowel cleansing is necessary before medical examinations and surgical operations.

One of the main categories is absorbents. Activated carbon is inexpensive and ubiquitous. Not very convenient to use. Filtrum is a worthy competitor that has high sorption activity. It is divided into several varieties with general principles of action, but different areas of treatment.

Filtrum-sti

A natural drug of a new generation, it is not absorbed and is completely eliminated from the intestines within 24 hours. The filter removes waste products of pathogenic microbes from the body. Does not cause dysbacteriosis.

Indispensable in the treatment of purulent infections. The use of gauze dressings with a filtrum tablet crushed into powder promotes rapid disinfection and healing of wounds.

Lactofiltrum

Plant enterosorbent. Contains the beneficial substance lactulose, a naturally occurring prebiotic that enhances the activity of beneficial microflora in the intestines. The sorbent contained in it binds toxins, and the prebiotic included in the composition creates favorable conditions for the development of beneficial bacteria. Studies conducted on women showed that after using the product for four weeks, 75% of them had skin that had previously lost its healthy appearance.

Filtrum Safari

Children's analogue of Filtrum. The drug contains myristic and lauric acids with a bactericidal effect, reducing the development of yeast fungi and pathogenic microflora. Used to suppress the activity of pathogenic microorganisms. Quickly eliminates the symptoms of intestinal infection and can have a beneficial effect on digestive processes. Prescribed for the treatment of “traveler's diarrhea”, acute intestinal diseases caused by bacteria, acute respiratory infections and poisoning. It has a pleasant taste and is available in the form of chewable lozenges with animal images. Children perceive Filtrum Safari to look and taste like candy, and eat it without persuasion or whims.

Release forms, composition and names

hydrolyzed lignin

1.2.

Tablets are produced by different pharmaceutical factories, therefore they have differences in the trade names of the finished drugs. So, today there are “Filtrum-STI” and “Lactofiltrum” tablets, which are the same drug, but produced by different companies. Lactofiltrum is often called “Lactum filtrum” or “Lacta filtrum”, but these are distorted names perceived by ear. The correct name is “Lactofiltrum”. Also, sometimes the trade name of the Filtrum-STI tablets is pronounced incorrectly, and it turns out to be “Filtrum City”. In this case, “Filtrum-STI” = “Filtrum City”.

The drug Filtrum-Safari stands out, which is available in a convenient form of chewable lozenges with chocolate or berry flavor. This form of release is positioned as for children. But adults can also take lozenges, they just need a slightly larger dose. Children easily agree to take a tasty lozenge with a pleasant taste of chocolate or wild berries, which relieves parents of the need to persuade the child to eat the “nasty” medicine.

The active component of both Filtrum tablets and lozenges is hydrolyzed lignin, which is the sorbent itself. Lactofiltrum tablets, in addition to lignin, also contain lactulose (fructooligosaccharide), which is a prebiotic and helps bring the intestinal microflora into a state of balance after resorption and elimination of toxins. The excipients contained in tablets and lozenges are as follows:

• Filtrum-STI tablets – povidone and calcium stearate;
• Lactofiltrum tablets – croscarmellose sodium and magnesium stearate;
• Filtrum-Safari lozenges – myristic and lauric acids.

Analogs

Medicines and dietary supplements containing the active ingredient hydrolyzed lignin are produced by many pharmaceutical factories. Therefore, in the pharmacy chain these products are sold using different trade names.

Analogs of "Filtrum-ST" according to the active substance are as follows.

1. Lactofiltrum tablets - in addition to the main substance, the drug is supplemented with the prebiotic lactulose, the purpose of which is to improve intestinal microflora.
2. The drug "Polifan" is produced in powder form. It is used to provide first aid for poisoning with alcohol, drugs, and alkaloids. It is also used for toxic infections - salmonellosis, dysentery.
3. "Lignosorb" is a medical product. It can be purchased in the form of granules, powder and paste for preparing a suspension. It is used as an enterosorbent for infections and poisoning.
4. "Polyphepan" is sold in granules, powders and tablets. The granules contain sucrose. The tablets have an additional component - lactose.
5. "Lactofiltrum ECO" refers to dietary supplements. The product is taken as a source of insoluble fiber for poisoning and inflammation of the digestive system in the complex treatment of the intestines.
6. "Filtrum-Safari" are chewable lozenges intended for children over 5 years of age. The product is given to children as a biological food supplement. "Filtrum-Safari" is supplemented with flavors and dyes.
7. "Entegnin" is part of the group of biological additives and is used as a sorbent during poisoning.

Let's summarize. "Filtrum-STI" is a modern sorbent that is widely used for various infections and poisonings. It is used not only in the initial stage of intoxication, but also for the treatment of severe toxic infections. The drug is non-toxic, has a minimum of contraindications, and is well tolerated by children and adults. For mild infections and food poisoning, it is used as the main medicine. For the treatment of severe intoxication, Filtrum-STI is used in combination with other therapeutic measures.

Ukrainian-made Lactofiltrum substitutes

Close substitutes for lactofiltrum produced by Ukrainian manufacturing companies have a number of positive qualities and withstand the main competition with the original.

Indications for taking the medicine

General indications for taking tablets are to cleanse the body in case of poisoning and intoxication. However, the drug is effective for treating concomitant conditions of poisoning and intestinal infections. Tablets are used for the prevention and treatment of:

• poisoning caused by intestinal bacteria
• poisoning caused by bacteria;
• food poisoning;
• poisoning with drugs, poisons and toxins;
• for treating high cholesterol, normalizing bilirubin and relieving inflammation during purulent infections.

Indications for the use of the drug are largely caused by symptoms of poisoning and intoxication or those that appear against the background of concomitant diseases. Indications for use in children and adults are the same. There are also indications for the use of tablets in the treatment of food poisoning caused by ingestion of an allergen. Tablets can also be taken as a prevention of poisoning before consuming alcoholic beverages or questionable food products, as well as to prevent poisoning at work with salts of heavy metals.

In addition, it is not recommended to take the medicine for people with peptic ulcers and pathologies of the duodenum. Before taking the drug, you should consult your doctor to avoid negative consequences.

Does Filtrum-sti help with a hangover?

Since it is a sorbent, and alcohol is a poison, the use of Filtrum during a hangover is completely justified. If you feel all the negative manifestations of a hangover, then this sorbent can quickly improve your well-being. The main thing is to use it correctly. Thanks to its high ability to adsorb harmful substances in the body, as well as its natural origin, Filtrum-sti will delight you with its effectiveness. It is well tolerated and does not cause side effects. When you have a hangover, it becomes a real lifesaver, especially if you need to quickly get into working condition. It will quickly remove alcohol breakdown products from the body. He is not afraid of high concentrations of toxins. After 2-3 doses of the drug you will notice that your condition has improved significantly

It is important to take it as early as possible so that toxins do not enter the blood. If you are expecting a festive feast, it is better to take the drug an hour before the banquet. This will protect you from possible alcohol poisoning, which means you won’t face a painful hangover.

This drug is well known to doctors abroad. In the world classification it is called hydrolytic lignin. Its component is purified wood, which is processed in a special way. Filtrum-sti is just the name of one of many sorbents that contain hydrolytic lignin.

A small disadvantage of lignin is that it does not taste very good, making it difficult to swallow. Filtrum-sti is offered in easy-to-swallow tablet form. These little brown tablets are a powerful remedy against poisons, drugs, toxins, alcohol, allergens and even pathogenic bacteria. Regardless of what exactly you are dealing with, it will perfectly cleanse the body of them. The big advantage of the drug is its ability not to participate in metabolism. Within a day it will completely leave your body.

With alcohol poisoning, the symptoms are almost the same as with poisoning with other substances or when harmful microorganisms enter the body. The patient suffers from intestinal upset and general intoxication.

This drug has a number of options that you can find in the pharmacy. They differ slightly in their therapeutic effect and proposed composition.

• Lactofiltrum. It consists of lignin, lactulose, croscarmellose sodium, sodium stearate. Used in case of poisoning. Able to quickly restore intestinal microflora.
• Filtrum Safari. Consists of lignin, myristic and lauric acids. It is advisable to use it if you are dealing with harmful microorganisms. It quickly suppresses their vital activity.
• Filtrum-sti. Consists of lignin, calcium stearate, povidone. Used in cases of intoxication. Its substitutes: Lignosorb, Entegnin, Polyphepan.

To quickly get rid of a hangover, you can take crushed tablets. This way the drug will act faster and be as effective as possible. If you are taking any other medications to relieve hangover symptoms, take Filtrum-sti only one hour after taking them. The same goes for meals. The dosage should be selected by a doctor. The amount of lignin is calculated taking into account the patient's body weight. The daily dose should be divided into 3-4 doses. The intervals between doses of the drug should be equal. After alcohol poisoning, the course of treatment can last up to 3-5 days. It depends on how severe the intoxication was.

As we have already mentioned, to prevent intoxication, you can take Filtrum-sti 30 minutes before the banquet, and then repeat the intake 30 minutes after it ends. Taxorbent effectively neutralizes alcohol. Be sure to take the tablet with plenty of liquid, preferably water. It is recommended to have a bowel movement 3-5 hours after taking the medicine so that toxins from it are not absorbed back into the body.

Analog prices

The cost of a standard package of Lactofiltrum is approximately 200 rubles. The course lasts 2-3 weeks. You should take 2 to 3 tablets per day in 3 divided doses. This means that one package of 30 tablets will last for 10-15 days, that is, one course will require 2 to 3 packs of the supplement. Thus, the cost of treatment will be about 400-600 rubles.

One of the reasons why people refuse to take Lactofiltrum is the price. Analogs are cheaper, but will you be able to save money? Let's calculate the cost of improving the body's health with their help:

• Lactusan tablets (pack of 3 blisters of 20 tablets each) cost from 150 rubles. You need to drink 4-5 of them. 2 r. per day for 10-15 days. The result is only 250-300 rubles;
• Probifor is prescribed 2 capsules 2 times a day. per day for 5-10 days. The price of this product is from 391 rubles. (for a plastic jar with 30 capsules, it is enough for a course of treatment);
• Bifidumbacterin sells for about 220 rubles. for 30 capsules. It should be taken for up to 10 days, 1-2 tablets. So you can get by with one jar;
• Polysorb. 10 sachets for preparing medicine cost 250-269 rubles. The course of treatment is 10-14 days, that is, the package is enough for 10 days.

There are a very large number of analogues of Lactofiltrum. The choice of analogue should be made by a doctor. Not all drugs are suitable in a given situation. You cannot use the drugs on your own. Some medications have unwanted side effects and contraindications.

Use during pregnancy

Of course, no tests have been conducted from which it would be clear how Filtrum affects the body of a pregnant woman and the fetus. Therefore, we can judge its safety only on the basis of how it works, what are the mechanisms of its action. The drug is a sorbent and does not participate in metabolic processes. Its components do not penetrate into the blood, and after a day it is eliminated from the body. Despite this, manufacturers still do not recommend taking Filtrum-sti during pregnancy, since there is no data on its safety for the fetus and the expectant mother. However, experiments carried out on some animals revealed the complete safety of this sorbent. But we emphasize that the decision on its use should be made solely by the doctor!

It can help with conditions of intoxication, with various types of poisoning, disorders and infections of the intestines. Filtrum-sti can also be used to eliminate nausea, vomiting and other possible symptoms of toxicosis or gestosis.

Pregnant women often suffer from constipation. Filtrum-sti is able to quickly cope with this problem. By increasing the amount of dietary fiber, normalizing peristalsis and stabilizing intestinal microflora, it quickly helps to empty the intestines. So far, not a single case has been recorded in which this drug would have a negative effect on the fetus. But the expectant mother should also understand that any sorbent reduces the amount of not only harmful, but also nutrients. Because of this, less of them enters the blood. Therefore, over time, vitamin deficiency and calcium deficiency may develop. This, of course, is not at all useful, especially during pregnancy, when even more nutrients are required. Therefore, doctors prescribe additional microelements and vitamins for long-term use of Filtrum.

There is no need to abuse medications during pregnancy. Taking Filtrum-sti is possible only with the permission of a doctor. He can prescribe it in case of acute infections and poisoning. In this case, the course of treatment should not be long - up to a week. Pregnant women should not use it for prophylaxis. The dosage is also determined by the doctor. It will be an adult dose. The sorbent is taken half an hour to an hour before meals. If you take prenatal vitamins, the sorbent should be taken an hour after or an hour before taking them.

Analogs of the sorbent in question are such drugs as “Microcel”, “Enterumin”, “Eneterosorb”, “Lactofiltrum”, “Diosmectin”, “Neosmectin”, “Enterodez”, “Enterosgel”, “Smecta”.

Many people ask the question of which is better: “Lactofiltrum” or “Filtrum”? Experts say that these products are analogues. The first preparation, in addition to the sorbent, also contains bacteria beneficial to the microflora, which quickly restore the intestinal flora. There is also an opinion that this medication is unsafe for use in children, so most people prefer to use the second drug.

It should also be said that, in addition to analogues, synonyms of the drug “Filtrum” can be purchased in pharmacies. These include such products as “Lingosorb”, “Polifepan”, “Entegnin”, “Polifan”.

Enterosorbent of natural origin. It consists of hydrolysis products of wood components - a lignin polymer, the structural elements of which are derivatives of phenylpropane and hydrocellulose.

The drug Filtrum

Hydrolytic lignin was used in medicine long before the appearance of tablets based on it, which were called Filtrum. This substance is a sorbent of natural origin, so the drug belongs to natural medicines. The original form of lignin is a brown powder, which is why many patients have had difficulty using it.

The problem was solved by pressing hydrolyzed lignin and making tablets. The created sorbent preparation does not cause discomfort in patients due to an unpleasant odor or appearance, which facilitates the therapy process. The new convenient form of the product has the same medicinal properties as the powder, but is perceived by people much more favorably.

Composition and release form

The product is available in two dosage forms: tablets and chewable lozenges. The first category of products includes Filtrum-STI and Laktofiltrum, the second - Filtrum-Safari. Differences in trade names are due to different pharmacological factories that produce the drug. All three products contain the same active ingredient - hydrolyzed lignin, the remaining ingredients differ from each other.

For example, Lactofiltrum tablets contain additional substances such as lactulose and magnesium stearate. The auxiliary ingredients of Filtrum-STI are povidone and calcium stearate. Filtrum-Safari lozenges with chocolate or wild berry flavors deserve special attention. This form of release is not only convenient for use, but also pleasant to the taste, which is important for children. Parents do not have to force their child to swallow tasteless medicine, since kids are absolutely delighted with the sweet chewing tablets.

Effect of the drug

Sorbents quickly and effectively clean food masses from various toxic substances that cause diarrhea or allergic diseases. Drugs from this group improve the condition of the immune system and have a positive effect on the intestinal microflora. Tablets and lozenges bind heavy metal salts, poisons, urea, cholesterol and even radioactive isotopes. Doctors often prescribe the remedy for alcohol or drug poisoning. The sorbent has the following therapeutic properties:

• hypolipidemic;
• enterosorbent;
• antioxidant;
• detoxification;
• antidiarrheal.

Indications for use

All medications in this series are indicated for intoxication and poisoning, which can be caused by a variety of reasons. Filtrum tablets effectively cope with acute drug poisoning; they are included in the complex treatment of foodborne infections. In addition, the drug is used to prevent intoxication or reduce the concentration of urea levels in the blood.

Lactofiltrum is used to combat allergic pathologies such as urticaria or dermatitis. The tablets eliminate intestinal dysbiosis after taking antibiotics and participate in the complex treatment of hepatitis and cirrhosis. Lozenges are indicated to eliminate acute viral or bacterial intestinal infections; they are prescribed for poisoning with heavy metal salts, poisons, and toxins.

What are Filtrum tablets for?

This therapeutic agent is indicated for the prevention and complex treatment of poisoning. Doctors use tablets when they detect infections such as dysentery, salmonellosis or dyspepsia in a patient. Acute intoxication with medications or other substances can cause the development of many serious illnesses, so timely intake of sorbents can quickly stop the flow of toxins into the blood.

The drug successfully combats the consequences of many purulent-inflammatory diseases, eliminates the increased concentration of bilirubin in renal or liver failure.

About the drug

Lactofiltrum is a domestically produced plant sorbent.
Manufacturer: Russian pharmaceutical company. The medicine has a single release form - convex brown tablets with a dividing line. One tablet contains the following substances:

• lactulose – 120 mg;
• lignin – 355 mg;
• Magnesium stearate – 5 mg;
• croscarmellose sodium – 20 mg.

The active compounds are lactulose and lignin.

1. Lignin. Natural sorbent. It is extracted through the hydrolysis of wood elements. Lignin absorbs toxins and harmful compounds and quickly removes them from the body. The substance is able to cleanse the digestive tract of pathogenic microflora, allergens, breakdown products, heavy metal salts, and toxic particles of used medications.
2. Lactulose. A synthetic disaccharide formed from the elements fructose and galactose. In the colon, lactulose helps increase the concentration of beneficial microflora. When the disaccharide is broken down in the intestinal tract, organic acids are synthesized, which inhibit the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms.

Lactofiltrum is packaged in blisters of 10 pcs. or in polymer jars of 30 or 60 pcs. 1 cardboard box contains 1–4 blisters or 1 bottle. Instructions for use are included. The average price of tablets No. 30 is 250 rubles, No. 60 – 400 rubles. Indications for use of Lactofiltrum:

PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

Filtrum STI is an enterosorbent of natural origin, which is based on hydrolyzed lignin. This drug has a long history. Even during the Second World War, German soldiers used its analogues to treat constipation, intestinal infections, poisoning, colds, etc. At that time, there was only one form of it - brown powder.

Currently, for ease of use, two forms of Filtrum STI have been released - tablets and chewable lozenges. There are several varieties of this drug:

• Filtrum STI;
• Lactofiltrum;
• Filtrum - Safari.

They all have a similar principle of action, but are responsible for the treatment of specific conditions. Thus, the action of Filtrum STI is aimed at eliminating toxic poisoning, intestinal infections, and relieving allergy symptoms. Lactofiltrum is used to eliminate the symptoms of dysbiosis and restore the balance of normal microflora in the intestines. Filtrum – Safari is aimed at quickly eliminating acute intestinal infections, eliminates “traveler’s diarrhea,” cleanses the intestines, helps with colds, and thanks to its pleasant taste, children readily accept it.

Filtrum STI is obtained by hydrolysis from plant materials. This drug is not absorbed in the stomach and is eliminated from the body naturally within 24 hours. It adsorbs pathogenic microorganisms and their waste products and removes them with feces and urine. It works well in the intestinal lumen and does not cause dysbacteriosis, since during adsorption, beneficial bacteria are more strongly attached to the villi, unlike pathogenic bacteria.

It should not be taken if the patient has intestinal obstruction, or with diverticulitis. This can cause stool to accumulate in the rectum and rupture. Promotes the leaching of calcium and beneficial vitamins and microelements from the body. Therefore, during the treatment period you should drink plenty of fluids and, if possible, take vitamin complexes.

It should be noted that if, in parallel with taking this sorbent, you are undergoing treatment with any other drug, then it is better, if possible, to postpone taking it for now. If this cannot be done, then take it at different time intervals, otherwise the sorbent may weaken or nullify the effect of the drug. Weakens the effect of contraceptives.

Filtrum STI serves as a good remedy for the treatment of purulent inflammatory infections. It can be crushed into powder and used as a gauze dressing on the wound. It helps well with alcohol intoxication and relieves withdrawal symptoms.

This drug is effective against intestinal infections such as salmonellosis, dysentery, and dyspepsia, but it should be noted that in this case it will only act well as an enterosorbent. If, within a few days after taking it, unpleasant symptoms do not disappear, the temperature rises, or blood or pus appears in the stool, you should definitely consult a specialist.

Filtrum STI: action, effects of the drug on the body

Lignin is the basis of the drug Filtrum STI; it is about 70% in the medicine. The remainder went to additional components.

Medicine components

The main substance of the medicine, when it enters the body, has the following positive effects:

• Eliminates diarrhea .
• Eliminates toxic substances that enter the gastrointestinal tract.
• Absorbs toxins that penetrate the intestinal lumens from the bloodstream.
• Binds toxic substances that can be released simultaneously with stomach juices.
• Absorbs toxic metabolites.
• Helps during dieting. The main substance of the drug selectively absorbs amino acids and free bile acids.
• Fixes and transfers physiologically active components.
• Changes the amount of leftover food that has not been digested (for example, substances similar to dietary fiber).

The drug
In the intestine, thanks to the drug, binding occurs:

• Microbes, toxins, products that remain after decay.
• Poisonous components.
• Complex metal salts.
• Xenobiotics.
• Nitrates.
• Radioactive isotopes.
• Ammonia.
• Gribkov.
• Medicines.
• Alcoholic drinks and their components.
• A variety of metabolites that can cause poisoning.

Like other sorbents of the latest generation, the medicine can be used for allergies. The drug absorbs and removes different types of allergens from the body. The medicine Filtrum STI is not toxic , it begins to work only in the intestinal lumens, promoting the elimination of toxic substances. In addition, the drug has a positive effect on the functioning of the digestive system.

Filtrum-STI instructions for use

The medication belongs to the pharmacological group of enterosorbents, is approved for adults and children, and is available in pharmacies without a prescription. This does not mean that the instructions for use of Filtrum-STI act as a guide to action; it is necessary to additionally consult with your doctor and exclude superficial self-medication. The drug has an antioxidant, detoxification, antidiarrheal, and sorbing effect in the body, helping to cope with the signs of food poisoning. The therapeutic effect is achieved due to the activity of chemical substances.

Filtrum-STI – composition

The active component in the natural formula of the drug is hydrolytic lignin, obtained exclusively from plant materials. Excipients: povidone K17, croscarmellose sodium, calcium stearate. The active substance from Filtrum-STI has a high degree of adsorption, therefore it interacts with pathogenic flora in the intestinal lumen, promotes its rapid destruction and elimination naturally, and removes signs of poisoning. With the disappearance of intoxication products, the general state of health is quickly restored.

The medication is available in the form of dark brown tablets (according to the color of the active ingredient), and should be taken with water. This method of using the medicine is much simpler than pre-diluted brown powder or ingesting a concentrated gel with a specific odor for food poisoning and more.

Filtrum-STI – indications for use

On the recommendation of a doctor, this enterosorbent should be taken in case of problems in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. In fact, this is plant fiber, which not only cleanses the intestinal microflora, but also stimulates its motility, improves the digestion process, restores the acid-base balance, stabilizes the composition of the blood, and removes signs of obesity. Indications for use of the drug cover the following clinical pictures:

• drug overdose with subsequent intoxication of the body;
• as part of intensive care for salmonellosis, dysentery, severe signs of dyspepsia;
• diseases of infectious origin with purulent content with symptoms of poisoning;
• prevention of chronic intoxication of workers in hazardous industries;
• renal, liver failure.

Filtrum-STI – dosage

Since Filtrum is available in tablet form, it should be taken orally. In this accessible way, you can quickly feel the therapeutic effect and reduce the risk of side effects. The single dosage of the drug is determined individually, according to the age category. The instructions clearly state:

1. Adults and adolescents over 12 years old take 2-3 Filtrum-STI pills 3-4 times a day, with a sufficient amount of liquid.
2. Children from 7 to 12 years old take 1-2 tablets at the same time interval.
3. For patients 3-7 years old, a single dose of the drug in case of poisoning is 1 pill per dose, 3-4 times a day.
4. Children under 3 years old – 0.5-1 tablet three times a day.

Take a single dose of Filtrum-STI an hour before meals or other medications. In the relapse stage, detoxification therapy is carried out over several hours. It is necessary to take the drug until the symptoms of poisoning completely disappear. If we are talking about chronic intoxication of the body, the course of treatment is 2-3 weeks. After its completion, you should take a two-week break, and then resume taking the pills. Before taking the drug again, consult your doctor.

Filtrum-STI – contraindications

In case of individual intolerance to plant fiber, it is necessary to completely refuse such a prescription as Filtrum-STI and choose a tax among all available enterosorbents. Otherwise, the symptoms of poisoning only worsen; in addition, the patient complains of allergies and other “special effects.” Medical contraindications for Filtrum-STI cover the following clinical pictures:

• peptic ulcer;
• intestinal atony;
• hypersensitivity to natural components.

With long-term use of the drug, it is possible that the absorption of calcium and vitamins may be impaired. Therefore, for the purpose of prevention, doctors strongly recommend taking multivitamin complexes, and when treating chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, taking breaks between adjacent courses. During antibacterial therapy, the prescription of Filtrum-STI should be further discussed with a specialist.

Filtrum STI: contraindications, side effects

Thank you

Filtrum

is
a sorbent
of natural origin, which has a fairly long history of use in medicine. Filtrum is an easy-to-take form (tablets) of hydrolyzed lignin obtained from plant materials. Hydrolytic lignin was successfully used by regular military units of the German army to combat intestinal poisoning. Filtrum has a high sorbing capacity, binding toxins of any nature in the intestinal lumen. It is the high sorption properties and versatility of the drug that determine its effectiveness in eliminating many pathological symptoms, the appearance of which is associated with the toxic effects of various substances - from bacterial waste products to alcohol.

Lignin is a brown powder that is quite unpleasant to ingest. And the sorbent drug Filtrum is the same hydrolyzed lignin, but compressed into tablets, which are psychologically much easier for a person to take orally with water. Therefore, in the form of Filtrum sorbent tablets, people have the opportunity to use a highly effective drug without experiencing any discomfort from its appearance and taste.

Chemical composition, properties and purpose of the drug

Filtrum is produced on the basis of a substance - lignin. This is a polymer compound of natural origin, which represents the woody membranes and walls of plant cells . It is most represented in the wood of coniferous and deciduous trees. Lignin is not an independent element and consists of a complex of structural polymers - hydrocellulose and phenylpropane.

The detoxification property of filtrum is due to its high sorption activity. This means that it is capable of absorbing a large amount of toxins, toxic substances, chemical elements hazardous to health, and metabolic products. The filtrum itself is absolutely harmless. Penetrating inside, it is not absorbed by the mucous membranes and is excreted unchanged in the feces.

Side effects

Filtrum-sti is most often well tolerated by patients. No significant side effects were observed after taking it. It is extremely rare to experience too much sensitivity to its components. Only in rare cases can it provoke a severe allergy. It is also important to remember that if this sorbent is overused, it can sometimes lead to constipation.

Activated carbon may reduce the pharmacological effect of other medications that are used together with it. The medication affects the properties of oral contraceptives, therefore, during the period of taking activated carbon, other methods of contraception should be used.

During treatment with the drug, constipation and allergic reactions may occur.

Long-term use of Filtrum-STI can lead to impaired absorption of calcium and vitamins.

When used simultaneously with certain drugs, their therapeutic effect may be reduced.

Filtrum-STI can be used in the complex treatment of intoxications together with other drugs, if the rules for their separate administration are followed.

Is it possible to use Filtrum during breastfeeding?

The drug can also be prescribed during breastfeeding. It is a safe sorbent that does not affect lactation , does not pass into breast milk and does not change its properties.

After childbirth, the mother also experiences a decrease in general immunity. All energy goes into caring for the baby and producing milk. Reverse changes in hormonal levels can provoke the appearance of allergic reactions, which are also accompanied by the formation of toxic substances. Filtrum tablets help restore a woman’s health and remove all harmful compounds from the body.

Contraindications to the use of the drug

Like every drug, this medicine has contraindications for use, which are indicated by the summary. Despite the fact that all symptoms of poisoning after taking the medicine are eliminated within the first few days, the tablets have contraindications for use associated with:

• hypersensitivity to the active component;
• indigestion;
• increased acidity;
• duodenal ulcer;
• diabetes mellitus

There are also contraindications for giving medicine to children under 1 year of age. Do not give the drug to young children without a pediatrician's prescription.

Medicine dosage

Despite the safety of the drug, it should be taken only according to the instructions. The dose for an adult and a child is different, but the method of taking the tablets is the same. The method consists of crushing the tablet and taking the fine powder inside along with water. The usual method of taking the medicine lasts for a maximum of 5 days, but for the treatment of acute intestinal poisoning a longer course of treatment is required.

The dosage of the medicine for adults is 2-3 tablets per dose

The method of taking the drug can be in the form of a suspension, but, regardless of how much water you take, the amount of the drug per dose must correspond to the dose. For adults, the dosage is 2-3 tablets per 1 dose. You can drink the product from 1 to 10 days. In case of severe poisoning, the amount of medication taken can reach 50 pieces, but then the total number of tablets must be divided into 3-4 doses. This amount can only be drunk as prescribed by a doctor. It should be taken 1 hour before meals or immediately after consuming a questionable product or at the first symptoms of poisoning.

About Smecta during breastfeeding

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Currently, the effect of the drug on women during pregnancy and lactation has not been established. That is why manufacturers do not recommend taking pills while carrying and feeding a child .
Is filtering possible for pregnant women? This is a pressing question for many. In practice, the medicine is often prescribed by doctors; it is used by pregnant women to eliminate various intoxications, including toxicosis and intestinal infections.

The medicine Filtrum-sti during pregnancy successfully eliminates the symptoms of nausea, gag reflexes, normalizes the functioning of the intestinal system, restores microflora, and helps in the fight against constipation.

However, if you use the product for a long time, you may be at risk of vitamin deficiency. If it is necessary to prescribe the drug, it is necessary to additionally take multivitamin complexes.

The approximate dosage is 2-3 tablets 3-4 times a day half an hour before meals. To eliminate acute symptoms of poisoning, the medicine can be taken for no more than 7 days.

During pregnancy, it is not recommended to use Filtrum-sti for preventive purposes.

Filtrum can be used during breastfeeding in case of acute conditions accompanied by diarrhea and other symptoms of poisoning.

General information about Filtrum

The presented medication belongs to the group of natural enterosorbents. It is obtained from wood using special technology for processing the material.

According to clinical studies, Filtrum shows more outstanding results in sorption action than. On average, it exceeds the level of classic black coal by approximately a thousand times.

The principle of operation of this remedy is based on the ability to attract toxins almost immediately after the medicine has been consumed. This efficiency is explained by the fact that the active substance of Filtrum begins to act immediately in the stomach. The popularity of the drug is added by the fact that many doctors in hospital settings prescribe it even in severe stages of intoxication.

The relationship to the group of enterosorbents confirms the main mechanism of action of the drug. It links:

• pathogenic microorganisms,
• salts of heavy metals.

After treatment, they are excreted naturally.

The main active ingredient is lignin, which is of plant origin. Despite the fact that in many respects it is indeed similar to charcoal, its activity is many times higher. Hence the high effectiveness even with a single dose.

New generation tablets have another advantage over regular activated carbon. The latter is prone to irritation of the intestinal mucosa. The filter operates in a more gentle mode. It is necessary in cases where the patient has been exposed to:

• intoxication due to a viral disease;
• poisoning of the body after combating bacteriological contamination;
• typical food poisoning due to poor quality food or untreated water.

Lignin, which is part of the classical Filtrum, is also found in its branches. Produce releases based on it:

• . In addition to lignin, the composition includes lactulose, which belongs to the category of prebiotics.
• Lactofiltrum ECO. Doctors classify it as a dietary supplement, not a full-fledged medicine.
• Filtrum Safari. A product for children, which also belongs to dietary supplements.

The main difference between an ordinary dietary supplement and a real medicine is strict control by the authorities responsible for product quality.

The manufacturer of Filtrum claims that this enterosorbent has confirmed its effectiveness during clinical studies. It can be safely prescribed for:

• development of bacterial intestinal infection;
• development of a viral or rotavirus infection.

Since the sorption capacity of the drug exceeds that of activated carbon, the new generation medication successfully copes with the inhibition of:

• endotoxins,
• exotoxins.

In the latter case, the molecular weight of pathogenic organisms does not play a significant role. The product utilizes even those microbes that have a high rate in this regard.

In addition to the fact that Filtrum does an excellent job of removing poisons associated with food and drug intoxication from the body, it can resist other types of poisoning. Due to its nonspecific disintoxication properties, it is able to rid the victim’s body of:

• breakdown products of alcoholic beverages,
• excess cholesterol,
• bilirubin,
• urea.

Such excess metabolic products can lead to an incomprehensible deterioration in well-being. As a result, an excess of metabolites guarantees the development of endogenous toxicosis.

If the patient has only the initial stage of poisoning or a moderate form of intestinal infection, then Filtrum can become the basis for a course of treatment. But if additional reinforcement of therapy with antibacterial agents is required, then the list of necessary medications needs to be expanded.

Patients who experience acute intestinal infections and remain in serious or extremely serious condition receive this drug as part of complex therapy. It can also be prescribed as part of treatment for a purulent-inflammatory process, which is simultaneously accompanied by intoxication of organs and tissues.

Filtrum is equally well tolerated by both adults and children. But in both cases, you must first consult with your doctor before starting treatment; he will tell you how to take the drug so as not to harm anyone. Instructions for use for young children are discussed separately.

Among other features of the drug it is worth highlighting:

• loyal attitude towards the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract;
• high level of security;
• absence of toxic components;
• easy excretion through the intestines (remains unchanged);
• is not subject to absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.

Negative reaction

This medication affects each person differently. It suits some people, but others experience side effects. Side effects:

1. itching, rash and redness of the skin;
2. constipation;
3. nausea;
4. dizziness.

In addition, during long-term treatment, vitamins are poorly absorbed in the body, which is why you need to take multivitamins and mineral complexes simultaneously with Filtrum-STI.

Before you buy and start treatment, you need to know what Filtrum-STI helps with. You should also know which medications you can take it with at the same time.

It interacts with almost all drugs, the main thing is to follow the dosage and regimen. The components contained in the tablets do not affect the nervous system, which is why they can be taken for mental illnesses, as well as for those people who drive a car.

Contraindications and special instructions

"Filtrum-STI" is contraindicated in case of hypersensitivity or intolerance to the drug, intestinal atony and gastric ulcer. It should not be used for gastritis with low acidity and constipation. Caution should be exercised by people suffering from diabetes.

Can pregnant women take Filtrum-STI? — as indicated in the instructions, there is no information about the use of the drug during pregnancy in the medical literature. And there is also no information about the use of Filtrum-STI during breastfeeding. The manufacturer states on its website that the drug is not contraindicated during pregnancy. But do not use it at your own peril and risk.

With prolonged use, Filtrum-STI absorbs vitamins and calcium from the intestines, so replacement therapy with these drugs is recommended.

If a person is taking other medications that should not be taken, they should be taken an hour before taking them.

The drug is widely used in cases where a toxic substance has entered the stomach, but if toxins penetrate through the skin or respiratory tract, Filtrum-STI will not help.

Analogues of the drug

The drug has a wide list of analogues. Experts do not recommend changing medications on your own. This can lead to poor health and side effects.

1. Microcel is prescribed for diabetes, gastroenterocolitis, dysentery, cholecystitis, and obesity. Available in powder form for preparing a solution. The only contraindication is hypersensitivity.
2. Smecta is approved for use by children of any age. This product is of natural origin. The drug has a protective effect on the digestive system. The medicine is prescribed for intestinal colic and pain syndrome.
3. Enterosgel is able to absorb elements that damage the gastrointestinal mucosa. It effectively fights allergic reactions. The medicine does not cause side effects. It is recommended to drink more fluids while taking it to prevent constipation.

Why choose Filtrum?

• It has a high ability to absorb harmful substances: thanks to its high sorption capacity (per unit of its mass), it is able to absorb more toxic substances than products based on activated carbon1,2
• Recommended for various poisonings: alcohol, food, drugs, salts of heavy metals, other poisons
• Allowed at any age: suitable for both adults and children from 0 years old
• Convenient to use: tablets do not require dosing or additional preparation, have a neutral taste and odor, and do not stain the mouth
• Natural, herbal composition
• Does not cause inflammation of the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines (unlike products based on activated carbon)3

Drug interactions

When Filtrum is combined with drugs (Acipol and Enterofuril), a decrease in sorption activity is possible.

If you cannot do without complex therapy, it is important to maintain an interval of 1 hour between medications.

The combination of using Filtrum STI is quite appropriate with vitamins D, E, K, B, and Ca2 preparations.

Filtrum quickly eliminates signs of intoxication and hangover symptoms.

1. In case of severe alcohol poisoning, it is recommended to drink 2-3 tablets per session.
2. If you do not want to get poisoned before drinking alcohol, you can take 1 tablet with plenty of water.
3. If the intoxication is not too severe, then you can rinse the stomach of ethanol residues by drinking 1 tablet of the drug, trying to induce vomiting to cleanse the stomach.
4. If you can’t induce vomiting on your own, then enterosorbent Filtrum-sti can help. It is better to take it after the signs of acute alcohol intoxication have been removed, since the effect is unlikely to be produced the moment toxic compounds are produced in the body.

If you drink too much alcohol, toxins will begin to accumulate in the liver, which can ultimately lead to cirrhosis.

Filtrum is more effective for hangovers with an increased adsorbing effect. The operating principle is similar to activated carbon. Although the effect after using Filtrum is higher. It perfectly removes decay toxins and pathogenic bacteria, cleanses the blood of toxic compounds after drinking alcohol.

On a note! In order to prevent a hangover, the sorbent should be drunk 20–30 minutes before the feast. Next - 2 tablets at the time of drinking and after 2 tablets. To consolidate the results, drink plenty of water. So, up to 3-5 days in a row, until your health returns to normal.

The therapeutic effect of some medications taken orally may be reduced.

Pharmacological properties

The detoxification abilities of the drug allow you to:

• reduce abdominal pain;
• get rid of diarrhea;
• stabilize metabolic processes in the intestinal system;
• remove toxins;
• bind molecules of harmful bacteria.

Thus, diarrhea that occurs due to intoxication can be eliminated within 1-2 days if all recommendations are followed and the instructions for use are followed.

As follows from the description, the medicine belongs to natural enterosorbents, including wood components. The product is active against:

• pathogenic microorganisms;
• toxic substances;
• medications;
• salts of heavy metals;
• toxic substances;
• allergens;
• an excess of some metabolites: bilirubin, cholesterol and others.

Filtrum tablets are non-toxic, do not dissolve in the circulatory system , and are eliminated from the body naturally within 24 hours.

The drug has shown high effectiveness against rotavirus infection and can be used as the main remedy in the treatment of mild to moderate intoxication.

The medicine does not injure the mucous surfaces of the intestinal system and is safe for people of all ages.

Indications and contraindications for use

Having figured out what Filtrum tablets are for, people begin to use it without checking the contraindications. Such carelessness can lead to dire consequences, because the list of indications for the medication is quite limited. The list includes:

• detoxification for different etiologies;
• various poisonings;
• removal of poisons of plant and animal origin;
• renal failure;
• liver failure;
• allergic reactions to other medications and foods;
• intestinal and dysentery;
• dyspepsia;
• intoxication in viral diseases.

In some cases, Filtrum becomes an integral part of industrial prevention. It is assigned to those employees who work with hazardous substances in laboratories or relevant workshops.

Despite its benefits, medicine can sometimes only harm the patient. That is why self-medication without preliminary diagnosis can worsen the clinical picture of the patient’s condition.

A poisoned person will be contraindicated from taking the medication if he suffers from:

• stomach ulcer in the acute stage;
• intestinal atony;
• individual intolerance to components.

A subtype of medication called Lactofiltrum is not recommended for use by those who have the following confirmed diagnoses:

• intestinal obstruction,
• stomach bleeding,
• intestinal bleeding,
• galactosemia.

How to take children in case of poisoning

Filtrum can be given to children from birth. It is prescribed for diarrhea and vomiting caused by eating poor-quality and stale food, an allergic reaction or dysbacteriosis. The dosage is calculated based on the weight and age of the child.

Babies up to one year old can be given half a tablet. Since at this age it is difficult for them to swallow the medicine, it is allowed to crush it beforehand. You can crush the drug into powder, add it to water, milk or liquid food - this will not affect the effectiveness of the product.

Young children (from one to three years old) are prescribed 0.5-1 tablets at a time. The duration of treatment for poisoning is determined taking into account the condition of the child and medical recommendations. For older children, the dosage in case of poisoning is increased:

• 4–7 years - a whole tablet;
• 7–12 years – from one to one and a half tablets at a time.

Filtrum Safari for children

However, lozenges can only be used for children from the age of three, since they must be chewed. In addition to the sorbent, Filtrum-Safari lozenges contain a prebiotic, which normalizes the intestinal microflora, relieving the child of dysbiosis.

Unfortunately, children quite often experience various food poisoning or intestinal infections, which make parents worry and significantly worsen the child’s well-being. Filtrum-Safari lozenges will quickly relieve a child from diarrhea and symptoms of intoxication, and parents from worries and worries. In addition, the drug can be used to remove any toxins (viral, bacterial, etc.), allergens, heavy metals and undigested food debris from the child’s body. For example, lozenges will effectively eliminate indigestion that develops as a result of overeating at a friends birthday party, etc. Also, the drug will relieve intoxication (headache, chills, weakness, etc.) from colds, flu, viral infections and other pathologies.

Lozenges are taken until the child’s general condition is normalized. Dosage depends on age:

• Children 7 – 14 years old – 1-2 lozenges three times a day.
• Children 5 – 7 years old – 1 lozenge 3 times a day.
• Children 3 – 5 years old – half a lozenge three times a day.
