Among other systems and organs, the intestines also suffer. The pharmaceutical market offers a fairly wide range of drugs that are considered a panacea for many problems of diseases of the digestive tract: Loperamide, Imodium, Linex, Bifiform, Hilak Forte. In this article, we will try to conduct a comparative analysis of some drugs and understand which is better: "Hilak forte" or "Bifiform".
Antidiarrheal medicine
In cases of violation of the biological environment of the intestine, due to a number of reasons, a drug is needed that can regulate the balance of microflora and gradually normalize its composition. Experts suggest using "Hilak forte" in this case. Instructions, price, mechanism of action - everything speaks of the availability and versatility of this drug. In addition, this tool contributes to the rapid restoration of naturalintestinal environment in a natural way and the preservation of all important functions of the mucous membrane.
The mechanism of action of drops "Hilak forte"
When restoring the normal functioning of the intestinal microflora, it is equally important to resume the work of the entire gastrointestinal tract, since many problems of the digestive system are the result and cause of each other. Reception "Hilak forte" helps to restore the normal production of gastric juice in the gastrointestinal tract, regardless of whether the level of acidity in humans is increased or decreased. At the same time, against the background of taking the drug "Hilak forte", the immune functions of the body are enhanced due to the stimulation of the protective response by the drug.

Use of medicinal probiotic for digestive problems
The range of application of the probiotic "Hilak forte" is quite wide. Specialists prescribe it for many pathological processes that occur in the digestive system of the body. First of all, taking such drugs is necessary against the background of treatment with antibiotics or sulfa drugs due to the negative impact of the active components of these drugs on the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines. With a syndrome of insufficiency of digestion, whenthere are symptoms of a feeling of heaviness in the stomach, probiotics in the composition of the drug contribute to the normalization of the organs in a natural way.

Use of medicinal probiotic for skin problems
In addition to the treatment of digestive problems, "Hilak forte" is successfully used in dermatological practice. Skin manifestations often occur against the background of disruption of the liver and gallbladder, since the liver is a natural filter that cleanses the blood of harmful microorganisms. Failures in the work of these organs contribute to the fact that a person has skin reactions in the form of hives, rashes and, in some cases, even chronic eczema. Treatment of enterogenic liver diseases, dermatological problems arising against the background of the recurrence of these diseases should be carried out according to the scheme, which contains the instructions attached to the preparation "Hilak forte". Analogues of this medicine, existingon the pharmaceutical market, they usually differ in a more affordable price category: Loperamide (from 7 rubles), Smekta (from 12 rubles). However, before deciding to replace Hilak Forte, it is necessary to discuss this with your doctor, since many of the analogues do not comprehensively solve problems in the liver and intestines.
Medicine with natural microorganisms
Another complex probiotic drug containing beneficial bacteria, doctors call "Bifiform". This drug can be used to treat both adult patients and young children. The composition of "Bifiform" includes bifido- and lactobacilli, streptococci and enterococci. Such a balanced composition makes this drug absolutely safe and not aggressive for the intestinal microflora. In pediatric practice, doctors also actively use Bifiform. The treatment of such pathologies as a lack of the lactose enzyme, which are quite common among infants, is successfully affected by this drug complex.
Mechanism of action in the natural intestinal environment
Getting into the intestines, these microorganisms contribute not only to the renewal of microflora, but also to its formation, normal digestion and absorption of vitamins and useful microelements and, as a result, restoration of the body's immune system. To decide which is better, "Hilak Forte" or "Bifiform" to take in case of violations of the functions of the digestive system, the doctor will help, having previously studied the genesis of the resultingpathology.
Indications for the use of the probiotic "Bifiform"
After taking antibiotics and other medications, there are often disturbances in the normal functioning of the intestines. "Bifiform" effectively eliminates such disorders due to the effective action of active components and auxiliary medicinal substances. Against the background of disorders of the digestive system, such a manifestation as dysbacteriosis often also occurs. Doctors have successful experience in treating disorders of this genesis in adults and children also with Bifiform. This unique probiotic successfully normalizes any disorders of the normal functioning of the intestine: both diarrhea and constipation.

The dosage and rules for taking the drug, as a rule, are determined by the doctor. The manufacturer produces this probiotic in several versions: capsules, chewable tablets and dry powder for babies. The selection of the optimal form depends on the age category of the patient: it is recommended for babies to use "Bifiform" in the form of powders, adding it to the child's water or food. Chewable tablets are usually prescribed for older patients: children from one year old. Capsules are successfully used for children from two years and adults. The duration and dosage are determined by the doctor, depending on the degree of pathology and the chosen dosage form of the drug "Bifiform". Before meals or after taking this probiotic, it does not matter. In both cases, the effectiveness of the medicinal action does not decrease.

In this case, you should use the preparation in the form of "Baby bottle", because, due to its oil base, it is easy to prepare and mixes well with the baby's food. The drug in this form is also absorbed much faster and more efficiently. A distinctive feature of this form is that beneficial bacteria perfectly retain their properties and viability in an oil solution. When deciding which is better, "Hilak Forte" or "Bifiform" for the treatment of newborns, neonatologists, as a rule, prefer the second drug. For babies from a year old, Bifiform is suitable in the form of a powder or chewable tablet, since the baby is already doing an excellent job of chewing food. From the age of two, it is already allowed to take the drug in capsules or complex tablets.
Probiotic Pregnancy
Given the non-aggressive action of "Bifiform" on the body, doctors also talk about the complete safety of taking this drug during pregnancy at any time.

There are enough drugs that are considered analogues of this probiotic: Imodium, Bifinorm, Lactobacterin and others. "Hilak forte" is also considered, to some extent, an analogue of "Bifiform", while both the first and second drugs are approximately in the same price category: the cost also ranges from 300 to 500 rubles per package of "Bifiform". Cheap analogues are represented by dosage forms "Bacterin", which is considered somewhat more affordable in the price category and the drug: the cost of 30 capsules ranges from 140 to 200 rubles.
