Pharmacokinetics
Bifidobacterium Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (BB-12) in the composition of “Linex for children drops” contributes to
&bull, establishing and maintaining a balance in the composition and functional state of the intestinal microflora, including in children of the first year of life with such digestive problems
Intestinal microflora disorders such as colic*, gas formation, stool disorders (constipation, diarrhea) and other digestive disorders,
&bull, maintaining the balance of the composition and functional state of the intestinal microflora when taking antibiotics and after completing a course of antibiotic treatment,
&bull, reducing the risk of diarrhea caused by viral or bacterial infections of the gastrointestinal tract (including rotavirus infection),
&bull, support in the formation and functioning of the immune system,
&bull, prevention of atopic dermatitis in children.
Factors that have a negative impact on the formation of the intestinal microflora of a newborn:
Children at risk for intestinal microflora imbalance:
&bull, caesarean section, premature birth,
&bull, unfavorable course of the neonatal period,
&bull, late breastfeeding,
&bull, long stay in a maternity hospital or hospital,
&bull, early artificial feeding,
&bull, physiological immaturity of intestinal motor function.
Unfavorable moments in a child’s life (risk of imbalance of intestinal microflora):
&bull, cessation of breastfeeding and/or introduction of complementary foods,
&bull, teething,
&bull, hospitalization,
&bull, stress (for example, separation from mother when she goes to work),
&bull, weaning, weaning from pacifiers,
&bull, treatment with antibacterial drugs (for example, antibiotics),
&bull, frequent acute respiratory infections,
&bull, intestinal infections,
&bull, unbalanced diet,
&bull, functional disorders of intestinal motility,
&bull, decreased immunity,
&bull, jet lag, long trips, change of residence.
These factors disrupt the natural colonization of the intestines with beneficial bacteria and can cause an imbalance of microflora (dysbiosis, dysbacteriosis), and therefore children at risk for imbalance of microflora are more prone to functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), food allergies, and are more susceptible to infections Gastrointestinal tract.
Indications for use
It is recommended as a biologically active food supplement for children from birth as a source of probiotic microorganisms - bifidobacteria (Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (BB-12)).
Linex probiotic drops for children contain important bifidobacteria for children: Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (BB-12).
Why were bifidobacteria chosen? Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (BB-12)?
Bifidobacteria are found in breast milk and begin to colonize the newborn's intestines from the first hours of life. Strain Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (BB-12) (strain DSM 15954) has high safety*, good tolerability and clinical efficacy in children from the neonatal period.
Bifidobacteria contribute to the natural formation of normal microflora and intestinal function, and also create an optimal environment in the intestines for the action of digestive enzymes. In addition, bifidobacteria ensure the correct formation of immunity and help reduce the risk of developing infectious diseases, the possibility of atopic dermatitis and food allergies in young children. In breastfed children, bifidobacteria make up 60-91% of the microflora.
* has GRAS status (Generally Regarded As Safe) in the FDA (GRAS Notice No. GRN 000049, 2002).

Pharmacodynamics
Linex® normalizes intestinal microflora.
One capsule of Linex® contains at least 1.2 107 live lyophilized lactic acid bacteria: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium infantis, Enterococcus faecium. Live lactic acid bacteria are a normal part of the natural intestinal microflora and are already present in the digestive tract of a newborn baby.
— fermentation of lactose shifts the pH factor to the acidic side. An acidic environment inhibits the growth of pathogenic and opportunistic bacteria and ensures optimal exposure to digestive enzymes;
- participate in the synthesis of vitamins B, K, ascorbic acid, thereby increasing the body’s resistance to adverse environmental factors;
- participate in the metabolism of bile pigments and bile acids;
— synthesize substances with antibacterial activity;
- increase the body's immune reactivity.
special instructions
The probiotic should be taken in consultation with your pediatrician.
When prescribed simultaneously with antibiotics, Linex for Children® drops should be taken no earlier than 3 hours after taking the antibiotics.

pharmachologic effect
- Eubiotic [Medicines that normalize intestinal microflora]
Pharmacological effect - normalizing intestinal microflora.
Normalizes intestinal microflora. Maintains and regulates the physiological balance of intestinal microflora (microbiocenosis), ensures its physiological functions in the intestine.
Bacteria in Linex® restore the disturbed balance of intestinal microflora due to dysbacteriosis.
Live lactic acid lyophilized bacteria included in its composition are an integral part of the normal intestinal microflora, maintain and regulate the physiological balance of microbiocenosis in all parts of the intestine, have pronounced antagonistic properties against pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic flora, and participate in the synthesis of vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12 (in nature they are synthesized only by microorganisms), PP, K and E, folic and ascorbic acids, provide the body's need for biotin, and have immunostimulating properties.
By producing lactic acid and lowering the pH of the intestinal contents, the microorganisms used create favorable conditions for the absorption of iron, calcium, and vitamin D. Lactic acid bacteria carry out the enzymatic breakdown of proteins, fats and complex carbohydrates (including lactase deficiency in children) that are not absorbed into the body. in the small intestine, carbohydrates and proteins undergo deeper breakdown in the large intestine by anaerobes (incl.
bifidobacteria). The bacteria included in the drug facilitate the digestion of proteins in infants (bifidobacteria phosphoprotein phosphatase is involved in the metabolism of milk casein); participate in the metabolism of bile acids (formation of stercobilin, coprosterol, deoxycholic and lithocholic acids; promote the reabsorption of bile acids).
Taking into account the peculiarities of the distribution of microflora throughout the human gastrointestinal tract - the predominance of lactobacilli and lactic acid streptococcus in the small intestine, and bifidobacteria in the large intestine, Linex® ensures the supply of “medicinal” microflora in quantitatively and qualitatively balanced proportions.
The antagonistic properties of Linex® are associated with the ability of its constituent microorganisms to produce lactic and, to a lesser extent, acetic and propionic acids. The created acidic environment (the pH of the intestinal contents approaches 4.0-5.8) is unfavorable for the development of pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms.
Self-medication may be harmful to your health. You should consult your doctor and also read the instructions before use.
Unfortunately, the treatment of many diseases requires the prescription of antibiotics.
As you know, antibiotics are very effective in treating many types of infections, but they destroy not only harmful, but also beneficial bacteria in the intestines. In order for the treatment to be effective but have fewer side effects, Linex is prescribed. When purchasing a drug at a pharmacy, pay attention to the expiration date.
Storage conditions and periods
The probiotic should be stored in its original packaging, out of reach of children, in a dry place at a temperature not exceeding 25°C. Shelf life: 2 years in unopened original packaging.
