pharmachologic effect

LinexВ® Forte normalizes the 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 10 (9) 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.

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)

- the production of metabolites that have a toxic effect on pathogenic bacteria (formation of H2O2)

- the formation of antimicrobial substances, bacteriocins (LA-5 secretes acidocin, a broad-spectrum bacteriocin that prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi)

- competition 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 does not undergo systemic absorption.

Routine pharmacokinetic studies are therefore not applicable.

The resistance of LA-5 and BB-12 to the action of gastric juice and bile allows the strains to survive in large numbers when passing through the stomach and duodenum.

Both strains attach to the intestinal mucosa.

Like other microorganisms, they are gradually eliminated from the gastrointestinal tract by peristalsis and defecation.

Side effects

The drug is well tolerated.

There are no reports of adverse effects, but hypersensitivity reactions may occur.
