Biological properties
Antidiarrheal action of the drug is conditioned by high concentration of bifidobacteria sorbed on activated charcoal particles (Bifidobacterium bifidum № 1), which are antagonists of a wide range of pathogenic (Shigella, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus etc.) and conditionally pathogenic bifidobacteria.) and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms (Proteus, Klebsiella, etc.).

The anti-infective action of the drug is enhanced due to sorption of bifidobacteria on charcoal particles which leads to accelerated normalization of gastro-intestinal tract microbiocenosis, activation of restorative processes in mucous membranes and increases anti-infective resistance of the body. Antitoxic effect of the drug is provided by rapid repopulation of the intestine microcolony bifidobacteria, the restoration of normal microflora, which prevents the penetration of toxins in the internal environment of the body and, as a natural biosorbent, accumulates a significant amount of toxic substances coming from outside or formed in the body. Bifidobacteria in high concentrations activate intestinal parietal digestion, synthesis of vitamins and amino acids, enhance protective function of the intestine and the body’s immune defense.
