Bion 3, instructions for use of the drug. Normalization of intestinal microflora
A newborn baby has an almost clean intestine. It does not yet contain the required amount of “good” bacteria that are necessary for digesting food.
The first beneficial microorganisms enter the baby's intestines along with mother's milk. But very often these bacteria are not enough for normal operation baby's intestines. In this case, the body cannot cope with the food that enters it, and the child’s gastrointestinal tract is disrupted, dysbacteriosis and colic appear.
Then the drug Bifidumbacterin for children comes to the rescue. The drug Bifidumbacterin is an adversary wide range pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms; activates the digestion process and functions of the gastrointestinal tract, metabolic processes and nonspecific resistance body.

- vitamins are synthesized;
- the digestion process is improved;
- the microflora on all mucous membranes of the body improves;

Bifidumbacterin analogues: what is better to choose for newborns?
Bifidumbacterin is a first generation probiotic, since it contains only one culture of gram-positive anaerobic bacteria. But despite this, the drug has been quite popular in pediatrics for a long time.
If we take into account the main thing active substance(bifidobacteria), then bifidumbacterin can be analogues Linex, Bacteriobalance, Bifiform, Bifidin. They contain the same live bacteria as bifidumbacterin, so the effect on the body will be similar.
There are other substitutes for the drug, but they are based on other live bacteria:
- Colibacterin;
- Bioflor (coli-containing);
- Acylact;
- Lactobacterin (lacto-containing);
- Enterol;
- Biosporin.
All of the above medicines can be purchased at the pharmacy only in the form of powder for the preparation of a suspension. All of them are considered substitutes for bifidumbacterin capsules; there are no other forms of release of these drugs.
There are some substitutes that have a stronger effect and contain several groups of live bacteria. Such medicines include: Acipol, Linex, Bifiform.
There are also analogs of bifidumbacterin in the form of suppositories, such as Acylact and Probifor. These drugs contain several types of bacterial cultures and excipients that help bacteria spread through the mucous membrane much faster, maintaining their viability.
As a result, the effect of using these drugs may be better than that of bifidumbacterin.
In custody
Bifidumbacterin is a fairly common and popular probiotic. It is actively used by both adults and children. Most often, young mothers have to resort to the use of this drug, when newborn children under one year old have the first problems with gastrointestinal tract.
Most mothers only leave positive reviews about bifidumbacterin. This is a completely harmless medicine that helps get rid of abdominal cramps and stool problems, improve intestinal microflora and improve the digestion process. Many young mothers are pleased with the fact that the drug can be given to babies from birth, because it has practically no contraindications.
The drug is actively used by adults, noting positive traits, low cost, quick effect, no contraindications.
Bifidumbacterin is one of the most popular and most commonly used probiotics, which has helped many parents forget about colic and problems with the gastrointestinal tract.
Interesting
The infant's intestines are not ready for heavy loads, food does not have time to be digested, and colic occurs. Bifidumbacterin for newborns helps normalize microflora and eliminate dysbacteriosis.
This drug contains microscopic organisms that stabilize the gastrointestinal tract. Pediatricians advise taking the medicine in the following cases:
- Dysbacteriosis. Lack of essential bacteria in the intestines.
- Gastrointestinal disorders. When the baby suffers from constipation or diarrhea.
- Colic. The baby cannot sleep peacefully due to spasms.
- Diathesis. A skin rash indicates problems in the digestive system.
- Prevention of rickets. To prevent the development of complications.
- Transition from breastfeeding to formula. The body is undergoing restructuring, and the baby needs beneficial bacteria.
- Taking antibiotics. They negatively affect the digestive system, eliminating beneficial bacteria. "Bifidumbacterin" will compensate for this lack of microorganisms.
- Frequent regurgitation. To normalize the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Lack of weight. The drug is prescribed to premature babies.
This is a complex medicine that has a positive effect on intestinal flora. It gives the baby the missing bacteria and at the same time fights pathogenic microorganisms. This is an immunomodulatory drug.
Bifidumbacterin is recommended to be taken for diathesis
Release form
"Bifidumbacterin" is found in pharmacies in different types: tablets, suppositories, ampoules, foil bags. What should parents choose?
- Powder. Doctors often prescribe dry Bifidumbacterin for infants. The powder contains bacteria. It is easy to dilute in water and give to children from a spoon or pipette. The solution is colorless, odorless and tasteless. Perfect for little ones who don't like bitter medicine. The medication removes more than 10% of dead bacteria from the gastrointestinal tract. Sold in foil bags or glass bottles.
- Ampoules and vials. They contain microorganisms that have been vacuum dried and processed into a jelly-like mass that feeds the bacteria. The instructions say that one ampoule or vial contains five doses of the medicine, each containing 10 * 7 microbial cells.
This form of the drug is excellent for infants if they do not have lactose intolerance. Once in the intestines, microscopic organisms with feeding jelly multiply faster than their powder counterpart. They quickly master new “territories” and help the child’s gastrointestinal tract. Parents are required to open the container and pour the contents into a pipette or plastic dispenser syringe.
- Tablets and suppositories. They are rarely prescribed for newborns; they are intended for adults and children over one year old.
Doctors often prescribe dry Bifidumbacterin for infants
Instructions for use
“Bifidumbacterin” dry or liquid?
Sometimes infants experience colic and gas formation due to the drug in ampoules or vials. Milk sugar is to blame for feeding bacteria, because healing granules contain lactose. It accelerates the spread and development of beneficial microorganisms. Lactase, which is responsible for the processing and absorption of this sugar in the body, is present in newborns in minimal quantities or completely absent. After all, the baby is born with a sterile intestine. This is the cause of allergies. Therefore, experts recommend giving babies a powder version of the drug, which does not contain milk sugar. Its analogue in ampoules and vials is suitable for older boys and girls, after one year.
If you want to purchase Bifidumbacterin for newborns, choose powder in individual sachets or bottles. It's convenient and safe.

Powder "Bifidumbacterin" and "Linex" are very similar. But liquid “Bifidumbacterin” has a number of advantages.
