Enterol belongs to the preparations of the antidiarrheal group and is intended to regulate the state of the intestinal microflora.
Lyophilized yeast, passing through the gastrointestinal tract, creates a kind of biological protection for the intestinal microflora, suppressing and inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria and fungal infections, which include Candida albicans, Clostridium difficile, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Clostridium pneumoniae, Staphilococcus aureus, Shigella flexneri, Vibrio cholerae, Candida krusei, Ecsherichia coli, Salmonella typhi and many others.
By developing a protease that is capable of cleaving toxins and enterocyte receptors, Enterol has an antitoxic effect on the body. Also, Enterol promotes increased local immune defense.

Pharmacological effect
Enterol is considered a probiotic, namely, a means for normalizing the amount and composition of the intestinal microflora. Produce this drug from yeast fungi Saccharomyces boulardii. Getting into the intestine, these fungi multiply and enter into a struggle for the right of existence on the walls of the intestines with pathogenic and some conditionally pathogenic microorganisms. This causes the antimicrobial effect of Enterol. He successfully fights with candida, clostridia, klebsiella, ierseni, shigella and staphylococcus, as well as many other microorganisms, capable of harming human health, so diseases caused by these microorganisms are indications for the drug.
Another positive effect of Enterol - the neutralization of toxins in the intestine. As a result of the human body, toxins are continuously formed, and they also result from life of bacteria, and the drug helps to neutralize and safely remove these toxins. Enterol helps to increase the enzymatic activity of the intestine after its application.
When taking the drug inside while passing the digestive tract, it does not change, but colonizes the intestine and leaves it 2-5 days after stopping the medication. Issue Enterol in special capsules or in bags for children.

Patient Reviews

- Olga. At me at both kiddies with arrival of a season of berries-fruit quite often there is a liquid chair which without treatment does not come to an end. It has long been in such cases to give Enterol - literally from the first day noticeably improved.
- Nina. I took the drug almost in one day with a strong, very much helped Enterol + smecta, with rotavirus infection (nausea, vomiting, panos, terrible weakness) in general was horror! Believe it or not. He just saved me! I was advised by the mother of three children, I also thought from dinner till evening whether to buy or not. By night it was decided! Firmly! And he really pulled me out, that for me it was like a mana of heaven with two babies ..
- Arthur. I drank antibiotics, I got rid of dysbiosis after a course after the course - somehow I did not care about the lineage or yogurt, I thought the problem would bypass the problem. It was not there, it got rid of the temperature and infection safely, but in exchange it got a no less nasty problem. From the pot, sorry, did not slazil, home is still half bad, but how to work with? Not a very convenient situation. I had to go to the doctor, I was recommended Enterol in capsules. You know, it's very effective, I did not even expect it. Not instant deliverance, of course, but by the evening of the second day the toilet has already ceased to be my home native. And the digestive system came back to normal about three days after getting rid of diarrhea. And, yes, another plus of the drug is the price. All these antidiarrhoeal drugs are not a cheap treat, and Enterol has a very affordable price. Just do not take an example from me, be sure to consult a doctor beforehand, so that you can not grab your head.
