Release form
Hilak drops are available in 30-ml vials and 100 ml.
Pharmacodynamics
Hilak contains biosynthetic lactate, which contributes to the normalization of bowel functions, which improves the process of assimilation of food, as well as the destruction of pathogenic microflora. The drug includes products of the functioning of E. Coli, as well as streptococcus and lactobacilli, which allows it to favorably affect the intestinal mucosa, restoring a healthy microflora. In addition, Hilak promotes the development of acidophilic microflora that blocks the growth of salmonella - this allows the use of the drug as a component of the complex treatment of salmonella.
