"Iberogast": analogues are cheap and effective."Iberogast"( drops for oral administration): instruction

Every third person on the planet has problems with the gastrointestinal tract, according to statistics. This is usually associated with malnutrition, the presence of chronic diseases or an incorrect way of life. German phytopreparation "Iberogast", which has no analogues( absolute), helps to cope with a variety of problems of the gastrointestinal tract.

Ingredients of the preparation

The composition of the drug consists exclusively of medicinal plants. That is why the drug "Iberogast" doctors refer not to the medicinal methods of combating problems, but to phytotherapy. The structure includes such medicinal herbs:

• flowers of chamomile medicinal;
• leaves of mint and balm;
• celandine grass;
• licorice and angelica root;
• bitter Iberis( root);
• fruits of cumin.

In addition, the tincture is alcohol. The composition includes 31% ethanol, which allows you to save all the useful properties of herbs and plants.

Contraindications

Despite the fact that the Iberogast, according to the instructions, should not be taken to children under 18 years of age, due to a lack of clinical studies, some pediatricians see nothing wrong with the drug. However, it should be taken strictly after the appointment of a doctor. Of the other contraindications, only allergic reactions to one or more components of the drug are indicated.

Recommended pediatric norm

If a pediatrician has prescribed a phytopreparation to the baby, then usually it sets the dosage. True, there is an unspoken norm, which they try to adhere to."Iberogast" for children aged 3-6 years is given by 10 drops during meals. Drink the drug you need a small amount of clean water without gas. Babies at the age of 3 months to 3 years can be given 6 drops of "Iberogast" during meals. Breastfed can drink medicine with breast milk, and those who have already moved to an adult table, only boiled water. Give the drug the drug can only after it prescribes the doctor, nothing else!

How the preparation works

If the doctor recommended for taking Iberogast, the application and the way to influence the body should be studied in advance. These include:

1. Pain relief in the abdomen, spasms, severity.
2. Elimination of flatulence in the stomach and intestines.
3. Rid of bloating.
4. Normalization of intestinal microflora( colonization by its beneficial bacteria).
5. Elimination of pathogens( including those belonging to the Helicobacter pylori category).
6. Normalization of acidity of gastric juice.
7. Healing of small wounds and sores on the walls of the stomach and intestines.
8. Adjusting the smooth muscles of the intestine.
9. Elimination of heartburn.

It is noteworthy that regular intake of the drug allows to normalize the work of the intestines, which means that such a concept as constipation will remain only a memory. In addition, "Iberogast", whose analogs are listed below, is often used as one of the means for the complex treatment of duodenal ulcers and stomach, prevention of liver and kidney diseases. The drug is produced in the form of drops, in a dark bottle with a tightly fitting lid. Shelf life of the product is 2 years. At the end of this time, it is strictly not recommended to take the product, and even more so - it is dangerous for health.

Analogues

There are no such preparations on the composition of such preparations. However, there are those who are similar to the Iberogast in action. The price category, by the way, is about the same for all. Although the composition may be significant or, on the contrary, slightly differ from the drug "Iberogast".

The analogue, which is most known to date, is "Hilak Forte".Its main task is to normalize the intestinal microflora, which for some reason has been significantly impaired. For example, against the background of taking antibiotics. And yet, the spectrum of effects on the body is not as wide as that of the drug Iberogast.

Analog, which is similar in pharmacological properties, is "Enterol".Its main feature is the antimicrobial effect on the intestines and stomach. Similar tools include the following:

• "Picolaks";
• "Bifidumbacterin";
• Linex;
• Almagel;
• Smecta.

But unfortunately, they do not possess complex properties. Most often they are intended for the population of the intestines and the stomach by useful bacteria, but they do not solve all problems. So, Almagel has too many contraindications and side effects. Still, it was not possible to repeat completely to other manufacturers such a drug as "Iberogast".

Price

The cost of one bottle, the volume of which is 20 ml, varies between 300-350 rubles. At the same time, the drug will last for a couple of weeks. Those who are prescribed a long reception, you should pay attention to bottles in the volume of 50 or 100 ml. Their cost varies between 500-650 rubles."Iberogast", whose price is not so democratic, is not exactly a medicinal product in the classical sense. It is rather a homeopathic, phytotherapeutic agent that really benefits the body, with virtually no side effects. It is worth noting that the analogs of the drug are approximately the same. With rare exceptions. So, Smecta can do a little cheaper, but the effect of the remedy is completely different - getting rid of nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, normalization of the stool.

Overdose of

If the daily norm has been exceeded, the following symptoms may appear:

• nausea;
• vomiting;
• dizziness;
• shortness of breath.

In this case, you must always refuse to take the drug, consult a doctor for advice and help. Take other medications immediately after an overdose is not recommended, so as not to worsen the condition.

Buyers' comments

Those who take Iberogast for a long time not only notice the absence of constipation and normal bowel function, but also improve overall health. However, there are those who for some reason did not fit the drug at all. For example, some people note that the normalization of nutrition( the transition to a healthy and enriched with vitamins and trace elements of food) can significantly improve the performance of both the stomach and intestines even without the use of the Iberogast.
