Pharmacodynamics
Ecoflor is a new generation probiotic medicine, which consists of a wide range of bifidobacteria strains, as well as lactobacilli (strains have antagonistic activity). These elements are immobilized on the basis of SUMS-1, which protects bacteria passing through the acidic gastric environment.
As a medicine, SUMS-1 is used to eliminate intoxication processes in the body. It also helps remove toxins from the intestines along with heavy metal salts.
Enterosorbent SUMS-1 has a powerful bactericidal activity, but does not absorb enzymes with hormones located inside the intestine, as well as hydrogen sulfide with a transport protein, which is required for peristalsis. In addition, SUMS-1 does not excrete ions that support the hemostasis process, does not disturb the balance of water and salt in the body, and does not provoke intestinal atony. As a result, the drug is considered an ideal remedy for long-term use. There is also information that Ecoflor is able to reduce the load on liver function.
It should be taken into account that dry products, passing through the stomach, lose approximately 90% of their activity, and under the influence of Ecoflor, the protective properties of bifido- and lactobacteria, on the contrary, are significantly enhanced. The immobilized form of the drug allows for detoxification and the elimination of pathogenic microorganisms and toxins with decay products from the body.
Among the properties of Ecoflor are also: stabilization of the gastrointestinal tract function, restoration of intestinal microflora, elimination of opportunistic and pathogenic microflora, and along with this, a reduction in internal and external intoxication of the entire body as a whole.
Thanks to bifido- and lactobacteria, the processes of reproduction of pathogenic, gas-forming, and at the same time putrefactive microflora are prevented, the processes of digestion and assimilation of useful vitamins are improved. In addition, they help to stabilize the metabolism of microelements (including iron and calcium), and in addition to this, the content and exchange of bioactive components.
In the process of treating chronic forms of pathologies of internal organs, bifido- and lactobacilli have an immunostimulating effect, positively influencing the body.
Dosing and administration
Ecoflor should be taken before meals (10 minutes), after mixing it with water. To make it easier to take, jelly can be used instead of water. It is also allowed to prescribe the medicine regardless of food intake. Usually, therapy with the medicine lasts no more than 2 weeks.

- children 3-5 years old – 3 g of medicine 2 times a day;
- children 5-10 years old – 5 g of powder 2 times a day;
