pharmachologic effect
The product normalizes the functions of the digestive system. Liquid Intesti-bacteriophage has a specific antibacterial effect against a number of bacterial strains. In the process of exposure, Intesti-bacteriophage lyses specifically these bacteria, attaching to their membranes. Then it penetrates inside the cell, after which it multiplies using the energy resource of the bacterial cell. After the cell dies, mature phage particles are released, which can infect other cells of the strain.
The drug is strictly specific to homologous bacteria, so normal microflora is not suppressed and there is no harmful effect on the cells of the body. Intesti-bacteriophage stimulates immunity , effectively improves the condition of purulent-septic diseases that are accompanied by immunosuppressive conditions. Before starting treatment, the phage sensitivity of the pathogen should be determined.
