Hilak helps to normalize the intestinal microflora, pH level, and the balance of electrolytes and water in the intestinal lumen. In addition, the drug helps to restore the damaged epithelial layer in the intestinal wall.

Release form

Hilak drops are available in 30 and 100 ml bottles.

Pharmacodynamics

Hilak contains biosynthetic lactate, which helps normalize intestinal functions, thereby improving the process of food absorption, as well as the destruction of pathogenic microflora. The drug includes the products of the functioning of E. coli, as well as streptococcus and lactobacilli, which allows it to have a beneficial effect on the intestinal mucosa, restoring healthy microflora. In addition, Hilak promotes the development of acidophilic microflora, blocking the growth of salmonella - this allows the drug to be used as a component of complex treatment of salmonellosis.

Pharmacokinetics

The drug does not have a systemic effect on the body because it is not absorbed into the blood, remaining only in the intestinal lumen.

Dosing and administration

Hilak should be taken before or during meals, three times a day. Before taking, the drops should be dissolved in some liquid (except milk).

The dosage of the drug depends on the patient's age:

  • For children over 12 years old, as well as adults, the dosage is 40-60 drops;
  • Children aged 2-12 years are prescribed 20-40 drops;
  • Newborns and children under 2 years of age can be given 15-30 drops.

After the patient's condition improves, the dose should be reduced by half.
