What is the drug used for?

What helps the capsule with Linex bacteria? From dysbiosis, which can manifest itself in the form of:
    bloating;
    heartburn;
    diarrhea
    constipation
    dyspepsia;
    allergic manifestations;
    halitosis;
    vomiting
    abdominal pain.
That is, the tool helps the "inhabitants" of the small intestine to fight foreign bacteria. And this is done through the production of lactic acid, which creates "unbearable" conditions for the life of pathogenic bacteria.
Given all of the above, Linex can be used not only when “everything has already happened”, but also as a factor preventing intestinal troubles. That is why it is often included in the treatment regimen along with antibiotics and chemotherapy drugs.

Pharmachologic effect

MIBP-eubiotic. It has an immunostimulating effect due to the participation in the synthesis of vitamins of group B, K, ascorbic acid, thereby increasing the body's resistance to adverse environmental factors.
It supports and regulates the physiological balance of intestinal microflora. The lactic acid bacteria that make up Linex are involved in the metabolism of bile pigments and bile acids.

Instructions for use

According to the instructions for use, Linex capsules are recommended to be swallowed with a small amount of liquid (in no case hot or strong drinks), 3 times a day during or after the main meal.
    If the patient (or child) cannot swallow the drug on his own, the contents of the capsule can be diluted a little (with breast milk, water, tea, juice) and given to him with a spoon. At the same time, remember that Linex needs to be bred once, that is, before each dose - the solution made “with a margin” has no therapeutic activity.
Dosages of the drug depend on the patient's age:
    Adults and children over 12 years of age are prescribed 2 capsules 3 times / day.
    Children aged 2 to 12 years - 1-2 capsules 3 times / day.
    Newborns and children under the age of 2 years are prescribed 1 capsule 3 times / day.
The duration of treatment depends on the cause of the development of dysbiosis and the individual characteristics of the body.

Side effects

In addition, against the background of treatment, according to Linex reviews, short-term adverse reactions may occur in the form of bloating or diarrhea, which occur due to the fact that in patients with dysbiosis, digestion is impaired. Therefore, a certain time after the treatment is started, the lactic acid bacteria that make up Linex digest the remaining food. From here arises diarrhea and bloating. But these symptoms quickly disappear with the normalization of intestinal microflora.
