Bebinorm stabilizes and corrects the intestinal flora microbiocenosis. Provides stable colonization of normal microflora in the intestine. The medicine has an antidiarrheal effect, since bifidobacteria suppress the growth of harmful microorganisms by producing lactic and acetic acid. The active component Bifidobacterium activates the digestion process, enhances local immunity and protective functions.

The probiotic has an antitoxic effect, since bifidobacteria are natural biosorbents. If the drug is taken in combination with activated carbon, it prevents the absorption of toxins. Such interaction is effective in severe poisoning.

Pharmacokinetics

The active ingredients of Bebinorm are not absorbed from the intestinal lumen and do not penetrate into the systemic bloodstream. When taken orally, the probiotic passes through the gastrointestinal tract and forms colonies of beneficial microorganisms in it. Such pharmacokinetics ensures the restoration of normal microflora.

The medicine affects the mucous membrane of the small intestine, providing stimulation of immunoglobulins (lactase, sucrase, maltase). To achieve a therapeutic effect, the probiotic must be taken for a long period of time.

Side effects Bebinorm

The drug contains beneficial bacteria that are safe for the body. Side effects are extremely rare. Let's consider possible adverse reactions:

• Live microorganisms can cause overpopulation of the gastrointestinal tract with bacteria, which leads to infections. This happens due to the use of large doses of medication. The risk group includes newborns, people with a weakened immune system and elderly patients. Antibiotics are used for treatment.
• During the process of restoring the balance of intestinal flora, gastrointestinal disorders may occur. In this case, painful sensations in the abdomen and flatulence appear. Such symptoms are possible when using large doses.
• Irritation of the immune system - the body begins to perceive beneficial bacteria as infectious agents, i.e. foreign microorganisms. Because of this, the temperature and the level of leukocytes in the blood increase. The child complains of increased fatigue and rapid fatigability. As a treatment, it is recommended to stop taking the probiotic and consult a doctor.
