If during the procedure you feel a burning sensation, tingling, or other discomfort, the peeling should be removed immediately and no longer used.

Composition, effect of the drug, features of exfoliation

Hilak Forte is a popular drug designed to normalize the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and help cope with dysbiosis.

The lactic acid and lactobacilli contained in it inhibit pathogenic bacteria, improving intestinal function.

In terms of its functions, it is also a good bleach and moisturizer.

This cleansing is indicated for aging, dry, pigmented skin . This type of peeling can be called gentle.

Lactic acid is found in our skin, which makes it related to our body and unable to cause severe harm.

And the concentration of lactic acid in the preparation is very low, so this home peeling is safe.

The procedure is absolutely painless. Of course, there are a number of contraindications and precautions, but this number is small.

Types of probiotics

Two types of medications are used to restore the intestines. Probiotics are preparations that contain beneficial bacteria in dried or dissolved form. Most often these are microorganisms from the genus Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, which normally dominate the human digestive tract.

Prebiotics are substances necessary for the growth of good microflora. In some cases, you can do without them, but after serious illness, treatment with antibiotics or poisoning, they will speed up recovery by creating a favorable environment for bacteria.

The digestive tract of a healthy adult is home to several dozen species of bacteria, but two types of microbes predominate: bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Others are in the minority. Therefore, the following types of probiotics are distinguished depending on their composition:

• consist only of lactobacilli - recommended for intestinal viral infections;
• contains only bifidobacteria - doctors prescribe them for intestinal candidiasis and as a way to restore women after vaginal candidiasis;
• combined preparations - contain bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, useful for bacterial infections of the intestines.

You can restore normal microflora using different forms of drugs. Probiotics are produced in dry form, from which a suspension is prepared before use. There are ready-made liquid forms of the medicine that are convenient to give to a small child. Some products are produced in gelatin-coated capsules. It is not damaged in the stomach and dissolves only in the intestines. This protects bacteria from the action of hydrochloric acid.

The creation of drugs to solve digestive problems took place in several stages. Therefore, pharmacists distinguish several generations of probiotics:

• 1st generation are monopreparations that consist of one type of bacteria living in the intestines, these include Bifidumbacterin, Lactobacterin.
• 2nd generation – contain good bacteria that are antagonists of harmful flora. They secrete substances that destroy dangerous microorganisms and prepare the environment for colonization by beneficial microflora. Drugs of this type include Enterol and Bactisubtil.
• 3rd generation - probiotics, which contain from 2 to 30 strains of one living microorganism or a combination of several types of bacteria. This group of drugs includes Linex, Bifikol, Bifilong.
• 4th generation – contain not only good bacteria, but also substances from the group of prebiotics. They serve as a nutrient medium, help microflora grow and multiply and accelerate its recovery. This group of drugs includes Bifiliz, Kipacid.
• 5th generation - synbiotics, these are several types of beneficial bacteria and substances necessary for colonization of the intestines. They are able to regulate the growth and metabolic activity of the microbiota. This group includes Floristin, Bifiform and other products.

The doctor must decide which drug is suitable in a particular case, taking into account the patient’s condition and age. Adults require a larger dosage and frequency of probiotics.
