Enterohermine is a microbial antidiarrheal medicine.
The drug is an oral suspension of Bacillus clausii substance spores, which is normally present inside the intestines and does not have a pathogenic effect on the human body.

Release form

The ability of the substance of Bacillus clausii to bind a variety of vitamins, especially from subgroup B, helps to correct dysvitaminosis, which appears due to the introduction of chemotherapeutic drugs or antibiotics. The metabolic effect developed by Bacillus clausii helps to obtain anti-toxic and antigenic nonspecific effects.
