Diarrhea is one of the most unpleasant conditions and manifestations of the human body. It is characterized by the pathological condition of the patient, in which he has an increased urge to go to the toilet. As a rule, more than three to five times a day. The main characteristic of diarrhea is the consistency of the stool. It becomes watery, and the urge to go to the toilet is accompanied by pain. Sometimes it spreads to the entire abdominal area.
Today there are many means of combating diarrhea, ranging from folk remedies to medications.
Compound
Such a manifestation as diarrhea tells us that the microflora in our body is disturbed. Of course, the first step is to take all steps to restore it. For this purpose, there are a lot of drugs that have different compositions. But if you are not a supporter of a radical method of treatment, but want a delicate effect on the body, then you will have to give up many types of medications. One of the most popular drugs for the delicate treatment of diarrhea is Lactofiltrum. This drug is a complex that includes the following components:
- lignin;
- lactulose;
- magnesium stearate;
- croscarmellose sodium.
It’s worth talking about some components in a little more detail.
It is a fibrous substance that is not of chemical, but of natural origin. This substance, entering the intestines, begins its work. The so-called work is to remove from the body all the excess that causes diarrhea. Such “extra” substances include cholesterol, various kinds of toxins, protein decay products, as well as excess bilirubin. Lactofiltrum, thanks to lignin, is able to save from allergic reactions, removing all allergen products from the body. Lignin may affect your weight one way or another. The use of Lactofiltrum, or rather lignin in its composition, promotes slight weight loss.
Another substance that ensures the effectiveness of lactofiltrum is lactulose. Lactulose in this preparation acts as a prebiotic. This substance directs its effect on the normalization of stool. In addition, lactulose prepares the body to plant and multiply beneficial microbes that have been lost by your microflora. Thanks to its work, the bacterial film, which served as a protection, is very quickly restored in the body.
Also, the composition of Lactofiltrum is rich in various vitamins and minerals, which allow not only to cleanse the body of harmful substances, but also to maintain its healthy state, avoiding dehydration.
Effect of Lactofiltrum on constipation
Any constipation is accompanied by quite severe intoxication of the body. Food breakdown products linger in the intestines, causing deterioration in health, changes in complexion, the appearance of acne, etc.
Therefore, one of the goals of any drug to relieve constipation should be to cleanse the intestines of toxins, and not just stimulate peristalsis.
The drug Laktofiltrum fully meets this requirement. It effectively cleanses the intestines of any toxins, eliminating the manifestations of intoxication.
Along the way, Lactofiltrum solves the problem of intestinal microflora disturbances, relieving a person of the symptoms of dysbacteriosis.
Release forms and dosages
Lactofiltrum is a Russian-made drug. Like any other medicines, it can be purchased at any pharmacy in the city. Lactofiltrum has a specific release form. By purchasing a package of this drug, you receive several blisters with dark brown tablets. The tablets have a capsule shape. If you look closely, the dark brown color is diluted with white with gray splashes. The tablet is biconvex, with a small score. The weight of one tablet is about five hundred milligrams.
On sale you can find Lactofiltrum with different numbers of tablets. The most common option is packs of 10 pieces. Packages of 30 or 60 are somewhat less common.
Use for diarrhea
Despite this, confidence in this drug is growing day by day. From a therapeutic point of view, the effectiveness of this remedy is undeniable, therefore it is prescribed not only to adults, but also to children. This drug can be used either independently or in combination with others.
It is very important to know in what situations Lactofiltrum can be used. Let's look at the main situations that require taking Lactofiltrum.
In a situation where the microflora is disturbed, it is necessary to use this drug. Various factors can lead to disruption of microflora, ranging from taking antibiotics to poor nutrition for a long time.
Another situation in which taking this dietary supplement is necessary is irritable bowel syndrome. Irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by a tendency to diarrhea and constipation.
It is also useful to use Lactifiltrum if you have urticaria, eczema, and other skin diseases.
Now that you know all the situations that require taking this biologically active supplement, it’s worth understanding how to use Lactofiltrum.
- Pharmacists advise taking the tablet an hour before the main meal, and also recommend not mixing the drugs with other medications.
- For persons over 12 years of age, this drug is prescribed two or even three tablets in the morning, afternoon and before bedtime.
- If we are talking about children under 12 years of age, then the dosage is somewhat less and is two tablets in the morning and in the evening.
Treatment of diarrhea
The medicine for diarrhea Filtrum ® belongs to the latest generation enterosorbents. Its sorption capacity (ability to absorb harmful substances) allows this remedy for diarrhea to be used in adults and children with diarrhea of various origins (including food, drug, alcohol and other poisoning).
About the composition of the drug. The main component of Filtrum® is lignin, a substance of natural origin obtained from wood by special processing. Unlike previous generations of anti-diarrhea products, Filtrum ® is capable of absorbing a wide variety of substances, including low molecular weight compounds (alcohol, components of a number of medications, etc.). This feature makes this anti-diarrhea remedy a universal sorbent, which helps treat diarrhea of various etiologies.
About the use of the drug. Filtrum ® is recommended to be used 3-4 times a day 1 hour before meals and other medications for up to 5 days. A single dose of the drug is: for children under 1 year – ½ tablet, 1–3 years – 1 tablet, 4–7 years – 1 tablet, 7–12 years – 1–2 tablets, for adults – 2–3 tablets.
Features of application
During pregnancy
If a pregnant woman finds herself in a situation that requires taking a drug such as Lactofiltrum, it is better to do without doing anything on her own. Unfortunately, the instructions for the dietary supplement Laktofiltrum do not say whether this product can be used by pregnant women. Therefore, if you need an appointment, first contact your doctor. Only a medical professional, having properly assessed your condition, can allow or, conversely, prohibit the use of these medications. If you are absolutely healthy, your condition and the health of your child are not in danger, then taking this drug is allowed. It will help remove unnecessary waste and toxins from the body.
Children
A child's body is much weaker than an adult's body. Therefore, situations often arise that require taking some effective medications or dietary supplements. The child’s body does not always cope with this or that amount of harmful substances that we receive daily in our daily lives. Therefore, many mothers are faced with the question of whether it is possible to use a drug such as Lactofiltrum for young children.
In the instructions for this drug there are no restrictions on taking Lactofiltrum in children. There are restrictions due to individual intolerance. When calculating the daily dosage of a dietary supplement, you must strictly follow the instructions and not exceed the specified dose.
Benefits of Lactofiltrum
Lactofiltrum is a combined drug that helps remove toxins from the body and accelerate the growth of normal microflora. The medicine is suitable for cleansing the intestines, fights intoxication due to liver damage, improves skin condition by strengthening the immune system and reducing the number of pathogenic bacteria. Together with a diet, it can be used for weight loss. The components of Lactofiltrum are not absorbed in the digestive tract, which reduces side effects to a minimum. It is better to take tablets an hour before meals and other medications to reduce unwanted absorption of necessary substances.
If necessary, Lactofiltrum can be replaced with medications to restore microflora or sorbents. If the main problem is an imbalance of beneficial bacteria, probiotics or prebiotics will come to the rescue: Linex, Acipol, Hilak Forte. If you need to get rid of the consequences of poisoning or stop diarrhea, it will be useful to drink sorbents: Filtrum, Polysorb, Smecta.

Contraindications
Despite the fact that Lactofiltrum is not a drug, but only a dietary supplement, it also has contraindications. Although this is not a full-fledged drug, you should still follow the restrictions on use. These include intestinal obstruction, which occurs in people with diabetes and gastritis, as well as exacerbation of peptic ulcer disease. Why are there such strict restrictions?
The fact is that the drug accelerates human motor skills, which leads to not the most pleasant consequences in the future. In the case of diabetes mellitus, the patient’s pain increases, but if we are talking about a peptic ulcer, then taking Lactofiltrum can lead to bleeding.
Action on the gastrointestinal tract
Once in the gastrointestinal tract, the Laktofiltrum tablet begins to act almost immediately. First, the sorbing elements collect all substances harmful to the body, creating ligaments that cannot affect the functioning of the intestines. Thanks to its special composition, the drug directs these wastes for disposal, mixing them with natural wastes that are eliminated from the body naturally. Sometimes this leads to new attacks of diarrhea, but this time the process has a cleansing effect.
Having gotten rid of toxins, biologically active pests and harmful chemical compounds, the gastrointestinal tract begins to function better. At the same time, to complete the work, the full return of the microflora is necessary. Another part of the medicine is engaged in its activation. Thanks to it, the normal level of native microflora is restored and peristalsis is stimulated.
Like any other drug, Lactofiltrum may cause some side effects. To avoid unpleasant consequences, you need to correctly assess your health condition, or consult a specialist. What side effects may occur when taking Lactofiltrum?
In some cases, it is possible to develop flatulence, severe allergic reactions that occur to specific components included in the drug, as well as diarrhea or constipation. To avoid such consequences, try to listen to your body immediately after taking the first dose of a dietary supplement.

The drug is harmless, causes virtually no complications and has few contraindications. Before starting therapy, you should consult your doctor.
How quickly does the result appear?
Wanting to get rid of the disease quickly, patients ask the doctor to find a drug with the maximum speed of action on the body. The first symptoms of the effectiveness of treatment with Laktofiltrum for diarrhea are noticeable within a couple of hours. This is expressed in the first attacks of cleansing diarrhea, which stop within 4-6 hours. The pain goes away, although flatulence may linger in the body for some time.
And yet, you should not stop treatment after stopping obvious signs. Carry out the body's recovery course to the end to be sure of its reliability.
Pharmacological properties
According to the classification, the filter belongs to natural sorbents with high activity. The main component of the drug binds and removes waste, toxic compounds and infectious agents from the cavity of the digestive tract. Effective against poisoning with medications, ethyl alcohol, salts of heavy metals and other dangerous chemicals. The drug is able to absorb metabolic products: bilirubin, urea, fatty acid derivatives.
Filtrum is not absorbed in the intestines and does not have a systemic effect on the body. It is excreted within 24 hours along with feces.
Compound
The active component is lignin, a compound that is the basis for all plants; it is usually isolated from wood.
The instructions indicate such excipients as calcium stearate, povidone and croscarmellose sodium.
Release form
The medicine is sold in the form of capsule-shaped tablets with a brown, heterogeneous tint. One cardboard package contains 1–5 blisters of 10–15 tablets each.
Antibacterial drugs for diarrhea
Even with an intestinal infection, they are not the basis of treatment, so it is better to have a doctor recommend them.
Be especially careful with children: do not take responsibility, do not prescribe treatment for them: young children develop toxicosis with exicosis (dehydration) very quickly. Advise to consult a doctor immediately.
Antibacterial drugs are used for infectious diarrhea.
Its signs are fever, nausea, vomiting, loose stools; there may be mucus, pus, and blood in the stool.
Nifuroxazide (trade names: Ersefuril, Enterofuril, Stopdiar) - inhibits biochemical processes in the microbial cell, reduces the production of toxins by microbes.
Available in the form of capsules of 100, 200 mg and suspension.
Active against salmonella, dysentery bacilli, Vibrio cholerae, staphylococcus, E. coli, clostridia, etc.
Weakly active against Klebsiella, Proteus.
It is practically not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, so it acts directly at the crime scene.
Does not affect saprophytic flora, does not cause intestinal dysbiosis.
Resistance to it does not develop.
Contraindicated for pregnant women. A short course is allowed for breastfeeding women (by a doctor!).
The course of treatment is 7 days.
Side effects include nausea, vomiting, and allergies.
Children are allowed from 1-2 months (Enterofuril from 1 month, Stopdiar - from 2 months). For children under 2-3 years of age, the preferred form for oral administration is a suspension.
Rifaximin . Trade name Alpha Normix.
A very broad-spectrum antibiotic (more than nifuroxazide). It has a bactericidal effect, that is, it causes the death of microbes. It is not absorbed into the blood, it works exclusively in the intestines.
Indications: infectious diarrhea; the instructions also indicate traveler's diarrhea, but again we are talking about diarrhea of infectious origin.
Contraindicated for intestinal ulcers: this means it is not prescribed if there is blood in the stool.
Children - from 12 years old.
During pregnancy and lactation - only according to strict indications.
The course of treatment is no more than 7 days.
These are the main antibacterial agents in the treatment of intestinal infections.
I do not consider phthalazole, sulgin, furazolidone, chloramphenicol, to which bacteria have long become resistant (immune).
Doctors also sometimes prescribe fluoroquinolones : ofloxacin, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, since they act on a great variety of microorganisms, including the intestinal group.
But they have a lot of side effects, have a bunch of contraindications, and should be prescribed exclusively for infectious diarrhea and exclusively by a doctor, so I won’t consider them here.
Use during pregnancy and lactation
The first months of gestation in every second woman are accompanied by toxicosis - a condition caused by hormonal and nervous changes in the body. The third trimester is characterized by diarrhea associated with strong pressure from the uterus on parts of the digestive system. For diarrhea caused by endocrine changes and impaired intestinal motility, the patient is forced to take two tablets 4 times a day.
To ensure that the amount of useful elements and minerals in a woman’s body does not decrease during treatment, doctors recommend additionally taking multivitamins.
Contraindications
The instructions for use indicate a number of conditions in which drinking Filtrum for diarrhea is prohibited. The list includes:
- ulcerative lesions of the mucous membrane of the stomach and duodenum;
- internal bleeding;
- decreased peristalsis of the digestive tract;
- intestinal obstruction.
Filtrum should also not be used if the patient is allergic to one of the components.
