Pharmacological properties

Hylak forte drops are a preparation that normalizes the intestinal flora, pH and water-electrolyte balance in the intestinal lumen and stimulates the synthesis of epithelial cells of the intestinal wall.

The natural physiological microflora of the intestine can be significantly impaired due to such external influences as antibiotic therapy, radiation, gastric surgery (Billroth II operation), as well as as a result of malnutrition, which can sometimes stimulate excessive reproduction of pathogenic microbes. This results in a feeling of heaviness, flatulence, diarrhea or constipation.

The numerous metabolic products of physiological intestinal microorganisms (producers of lactic acid, as well as gram-positive and gram-negative symbionts of the small and large intestines) introduced into the composition of Hylak forte drops help to preserve the physiological function of the intestinal mucosa and restore its normal flora.

Due to the fact that Hylak Forte drops contain biosynthetic lactic acid and its buffer salts, the acidity in the intestine is normalized.

The volatile fatty acids contained in the Hylak forte preparation make it possible not only to prevent, but also to restore the disturbed intestinal environment in case of infectious gastrointestinal diseases, they also promote the absorption of water and electrolytes (sodium, chlorine).

Hylak forte is not absorbed into the bloodstream, it is excreted through the gastrointestinal tract.

Indications

digestive disorders such as flatulence, diarrhea, constipation; during and after therapy with antibiotics and sulfa preparations, as well as radiotherapy; violations of hepatic metabolism; gastrointestinal disorders due to low acidity; chronic atrophic gastroenteritis ("senile intestine"); gastrointestinal disturbances associated with climate change (in particular, a trip to warm countries); symptoms associated with chronic intestinal intoxication such as nausea, circulatory disorders, a tendency to fatigue, and the like.

The use of this preparation is only a supportive measure. It can only be used in combination with other effective therapeutic measures. In particular, if the patient has diarrhea, the use of the preparation Hylak forte does not replace the therapy for replenishing fluid loss and other measures, such as temporary abstinence from eating solid foods (tea break).

Application

Hylak forte is taken orally before or during meals, diluted in a small amount of liquid (with the exception of milk).
