Pharmacological properties
NORMOFLOR® is a preparation normalizing the intestinal flora. Orally applied NORMOFLOR® propagates in the intestinal tract and regains its productivity, acting antagonistically to pathogenic and conditional pathogenic enteric bacteria. The beneficial effects of the preparation is due to the suppression of the intestinal infections and stopping of the diarrhea syndrome, as well as to the quick regeneration of the intestinal mucuses, caused by the biologically active substances, synthesized by LB51®.

PROPHYLACTIC – during and after antibiotic and/or sulfonamide treatment for maintaining the normal intestinal flora and for prevention of dysbacteriosis.
Dosage
In cases of acute diarrhea syndrome the treatment begins with 4 capsules of 250 mg and after that – 2 capsules on every 2 hours. During the following 3-4 days the treatment continues with 2 capsules 3-4 times a day, half an hour before meals.

In cases of intestinal disorders on neonates, breast fed children and infants, the contents of 1-2 capsules is dissolved in a small quantity of water or milk. This single dose is to be given 3-4 times a day depending on the severity of the symptoms.
