Enterofuril and Intetrix are, although not polar, but, however, different drugs. Enterofuril is the best “weapon” in the fight against microbes, with bactericidal properties, used for diarrhea. It helps with bacterial CI, but with diseases of fungal origin it is powerless (which can not be said about Intetrix).
Also, this antiseptic is not an assistant in opposing simple organisms (again, Intetrix in this case remains in second position).
“Enterofuril”, unlike “Intetriks”, has a larger age radius, that is, it includes a larger number of age categories (from one-month-old children to old people). There are differences, however, in the common features of these anti-infectious “armed forces” of the intestine more than it might seem at first.
The unifying criteria on the basis of comparison of these drugs are as follows:
- Extremely effective in suppressing many intestinal infections.
- Improper use causes the same adverse reactions.
- They are not absorbed into the blood, working in the intestinal lumen.
- “Intetriks” as well as “Enterofuril” can be used with simultaneous damage to amoebic and coccal infections.
A typical problem for vacationers and just those who do not monitor the health of their food and hygiene rules are infectious intestinal diseases.
These include:
- Salmonellosis.
- Diarrhea.
- Staphylococcus
- Dysentery.
- Klebsiellosis.
The standard, most common symptoms commonly include the following:
- Pain in the abdomen.
- Immune system malfunction.
- Diarrhea.
- Appetite problems.
- Bruxism.
- Skin irritation.
- Violation of the systematics of sleep.
- Constipation.
- Vomiting Nausea.
It’s better, without bringing the matter to a hospital bed, lying for a month under the supervision of a doctor, consult a specialist who is very likely to prescribe you one of two drugs that repeatedly show their best side. We are talking, of course, about the flagships in the field of combating CI – Intetrix and Enterofuril. Let us dwell on each of them.
Intetrix
The composition of the drug includes the following active substances: tilichinol, tilbroquinol, tilichinol N-dodecyl sulfate. The inactive part of the drug is corn starch and lactose monohydrate.
Doctors do not recommend using Intetrix with drugs that have hydroxyquinolines among the components that make up their composition. With other types of drugs, there were no conflicting reactions to Intetrix in patients.
Almost no medications can be taken without side effects. Intetrix is no exception. “Side effects” are sometimes no less unpleasant than those symptoms from which drugs are meant to save. Regarding Intetrix, we can say that the main problem that can be encountered with improper contact with this “intestinal independence fighter” is skin disorders.
Sometimes, in exceptional cases, with a long press on an anti-infective drug, peripheral neuropathy may occur , and optic nerve disorders are also possible. If the symptomatology is gaining momentum, then you should stop taking this medication, and consult your doctor about this.
The tool is in the category of attacking the simplest microorganisms that affect the digestive tract.
The action of “Intetrix” comes into force with high swiftness due to its active, antiseptic substances.
It shows its medicinal properties in the intestines. Very effective in treating amoebiasis.
A wide range of antifungal, antibacterial action.
Enterofuril
Composition: nifuroxazide.
You should refuse to take “Enterofuril” with:
- Antibiotics.
- Antidepressants.
- Analgesics.
- Cardiovascular drugs.
- Sedative medication.
Also, do not mix with drugs that affect the NS overwhelmingly. In any case, talk to your doctor before moving on to using anything.
Side effects: all the same as with Intetrix.
The action of an antiseptic is the complete annihilation of diarrhea. This is the merit of nifuroxazide – an antibacterial agent that is part of Enterofuril; destroys pathogenic microbes that provoke unhealthy bowel movements. He is able to cure the patient from any intestinal infection. Also, a huge advantage of it is the inability of microorganisms to develop immunity to its effect on them.
Dysbacteriosis for the period of administration is impossible, since Enterofuril does not affect the intestinal microflora.
It acts only in the lumen of the intestine, without penetrating the blood. Thanks to this, it can also be taken to infants.
What, when and for whom?
Intetrix is used in case of acute diarrhea of an infectious origin. Only if you are sure that the patient does not have helminthic invasion, you can turn to the help of this antiseptic. Also, the use of Intetrix is necessary for intestinal amoebiasis. It is best to always have this medication with you when traveling through any region. Directly the reception itself should occur before eating. Categories of people who are contraindicated in taking medication:
- Children under 12 years old.
- People with lactose intolerance.
- Pregnant
- Having an individual intolerance to the individual components.
Enterofuril is most successful in managing moderate KI. Consume in parallel with probiotics and sorbents.
Not recommended for use in the following categories:
- Premature babies.
- Up to 1 month.
- Children with enzyme deficiency.
- People sensitive to 5-nitrofurans.
Which medicine is better is difficult to understand. Each of them contains an equal number of pluses and minuses. Which one is right for you will be determined by your doctor.
