Today there are a large number of drugs that improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Every year, all new foreign drugs are produced that scare away with their price. However, the Russian pharmaceutical market still has drugs that have been in demand for many years. Without a doubt, Allohol can be counted among them. Application (reviews are positive from all age categories) of the drug has a good therapeutic effect.

- 80mg dry bile;
- 40 mg garlic (extract);
- 25 mg activated charcoal;
- 5mg nettle (extract).
When to take Allochol
Analogues, the instructions for use of which contain the same recommendations, indicate that the drug is taken in the treatment of diseases of the liver and gallbladder:
- cholangitis;
- calculous cholecystitis;
- chronic hepatitis.
Pills are used both to prevent biliary tract diseases and to prevent exacerbations. The Allohol analogue, like the drug itself, fights the formation of stones. In order to eliminate or reduce signs of inflammation of the liver (hepatocholecystitis), recommend "Allochol".

Dosage for children under seven is half the adult dose.
How the remedy works
This is a combined cholagogue. Substances of the composition contribute to the secretion of their own bile and partially compensate for its deficiency. Also tablets "Allochol" normalize the secretory function of the liver.
As you can see above, all components of the medicine are of plant origin.
The composition contains dry bile, which helps to strengthen both the secretory and motor function of the digestive organs.
Garlic, acting as a powerful irritant, increases the rate of bile production by the liver. The drug has a depressing effect onpathogenic microflora. It has cholesterolemic and antithrombotic effects. Increases the metabolic rate, prevents the growth of the number of lipids in the blood. It has a beneficial effect on the intestinal microflora. Due to antimicrobial properties, the phenomena of flatulence are reduced.
Activated charcoal is an adsorbent that removes toxins from the stomach. Helps reduce putrefactive and fermentation processes in the intestines.
And if the analogue of "Allochol" "Tykveol" can cause diarrhea, then in the drug in question the components are selected so that they negate this side effect.
The production of tablets is to mix all the components that are in dry form. This is done to better preserve individual ingredients.
The positive effect of the drug

- normalizes the formation of bile;
- increases the efficiency of the liver;
- reduces the risk of spreading infection;
- increases stimulation of gallbladder acid synthesis.
Through pills, water and electrolytes pass into the intrahepatic ducts, then into the bile ducts. Increasing the rate of bile flow significantly reduces the appearance of sediment leading to the formation of stones.

Taking pills - strictly after meals. During the month you need to drink 1-2tablets 4 times a day. Then, for a month or two, take the drug at the rate of 1 tablet 3 times a day. It is recommended to start the course again only after three months.
Eating on an empty stomach increases the production of digestive juices, which can damage the lining of the GI tract, increasing the risk of ulcers.
