Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

Linex® Forte normalizes intestinal microflora. One capsule of Linex® Forte contains lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA-5) and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. Lactis (BB-12)), each capsule contains 109 colony-forming units of live lyophilized lactic acid bacteria. Live lactic acid bacteria are a normal component of the natural intestinal microflora. The main functions of lactic acid bacteria:

  • protective: synthesis of substances with antibacterial activity;
  • enzyme-producing: hydrolysis of cellulose, proteins, fats, starch, deconjugation of bile acids
  • synthetic: synthesis of Vitamins of group B, C, K, amino acids, organic acids, etc. The lactic acid bacteria LA-5 and BB-12 inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria by:
  • lowering the pH in the intestine (the result of the ability of LA-5 to synthesize lactic acid and BB-12 to synthesize acetic and succinic acids in addition to lactic acid);
  • production of metabolites that have a toxic effect on pathogenic bacteria (formation of H2O2);
  • the formation of antimicrobial substances, bacteriocins (LA-5 secretes acidocyan, broad-spectrum bacteriocin, which prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi);
  • competing with pathogenic bacteria for nutrients;
  • interactions with adhesion receptors, thus preventing the colonization of other potentially pathogenic microorganisms.

Pharmacokinetics

Lactic acid bacteria, such as LA-5 and BB-12, act directly in the gastrointestinal tract; when taken orally, the drug is not subjected to systemic absorption. Standard pharmacokinetic studies are therefore not applicable. The resistance of LA-5 and BB- 12 to the effects of gastric juice and bile allows the strains to survive in large numbers when passing through the stomach and duodenum. Both strains are attached to the intestinal mucosa. Like other microorganisms, they are gradually excreted from the gastrointestinal tract by peristalsis and defecation.

Indications

Treatment and prevention of intestinal dysbiosis.The intestinal dysbiosis is manifested by the following symptoms: diarrhea (diarrhea), dyspepsia (indigestion), constipation, flatulence (bloating), nausea, belching, vomiting, abdominal pain, allergic skin reactions.

Contraindications

- hereditary intolerance to fructose, deficiency of sucrase, isomaltase, or glucose-galactose malabsorption.

CAREFULLY

With caution in diabetes mellitus (composed of simple sugars), a lack of immune system (for example, HIV infection). Diarrhea in children under 6 years old must be treated under the supervision of a physician.
