Antibacterial drugs for the intestines for constipation

Prevention of dysbiosis when taking antibiotics is an important part of treatment and helps to get rid of unpleasant phenomena that may arise during antibacterial therapy.

Prevention includes several stages. It is carried out not only with the use of tablets. It is based on simultaneous adherence to simple but effective nutritional rules and individually selected drug treatment.

Why does dysbiosis occur?

Taking antibiotics is not beneficial. Despite the fact that drugs of this class kill pathogenic bacteria. They have a detrimental effect on the beneficial microflora of the intestines and stomach.

The use of drugs leads to various complications. Most often, during the period of antibacterial therapy, the patient experiences:

1. Intestinal dysbiosis and intestinal disorders.
2. Disorders of the pancreas and liver.
3. Problems with joints, impaired mobility of limbs.

Attention! Dysbacteriosis while taking antibiotics occurs more often than other complications. Because the gastric microflora comes face to face with the medicine. The tablets enter the stomach from there into the intestines.

The medicine begins to act in the stomach, which leads to the massive death of beneficial bacteria. Against this background, dysbiosis occurs.

Intestinal microflora dies under antibacterial agents. A favorable environment for the growth and reproduction of pathogenic microflora appears in the stomach and intestines.

The development of dysbiosis from antibiotics occurs quickly. Within a few days from the moment the patient starts taking the drugs, the first signs of disruption of the gastrointestinal tract appear.

A person cannot refuse to use antibacterial drugs; he is forced to continue the course of treatment. Even when faced with dysbiosis and its unpleasant symptoms, antibiotics cannot be stopped.

Broad-spectrum drugs are especially destructive; they are highly effective and toxic. Medicines can also have a narrow focus; such drugs are not so dangerous for the intestines and stomach. But such antibiotics are not highly effective and are prescribed less frequently.

Treatment should include determination of sensitivity to antibiotics and bacteriophages. For this reason, it is advisable not to prescribe medications of this class on your own, especially if there are no indications for such therapy.

Prevention of dysbacteriosis

Before you start taking medications for dysbiosis, you should think about whether antibiotics are being taken correctly? Prevention of gastrointestinal disorders is carried out in several stages, it is based on:

• on proper nutrition;
• compliance with medication regimen;
• on reducing the toxic effects of drugs on the human body.

Dysbacteriosis from taking antibiotics will not take long to occur if you eat incorrectly. Problems will constantly bother you, and antibacterial therapy will only worsen them. Proper nutrition as part of prevention helps prevent the development of intestinal problems or at least reduce the manifestations of dysbiosis.

If you have an intestinal disorder that occurs while taking pills, it is recommended to avoid:

1. Fried and fatty foods that irritate the stomach.
2. Carbonated drinks and coffee - they load the liver and gastrointestinal tract.
3. Salty, peppery, spicy and other foods that are difficult for the intestines to digest.

Important: If you have intestinal dysbiosis, following a diet helps normalize the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and reduce the load on the digestive organs.

Antibiotics must be used according to a specific regimen. It is advisable to take the tablets at the same time, with plenty of clean water. When using antibacterial drugs, you should not drink alcohol or take the tablets with orange juice or coffee. Taking medications should be preceded by breakfast, lunch or dinner. If you drink the product on an empty stomach, it will only worsen the situation.

All means are good in prevention. To reduce the toxicity of products, you need to drink as much water as possible. And also include in your diet foods that can reduce the toxicity of antibacterial drugs.

These include:

• Jelly and fruit drinks made from berries and fruits;
• fresh fruits and vegetables rich in fiber and vitamins.

Treatment with an antibiotic does not always lead to the development of dysbiosis; if preventive procedures are carried out correctly, then you may never encounter the consequences of taking the drugs.

But if problems do arise, taking certain medications will help get rid of dysbiosis.

What antibiotics should be used for intestinal infections?

The most pronounced effect is observed if the following groups of antibacterial drugs are used:

1. Fluoroquinolones (2-3 generation) - levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin;
2. Cephalosporins (2nd-3rd generation) - ceftriaxone, cefoperazone, zinacef.

In the event that the prescribed therapy turns out to be ineffective, it is necessary to prescribe drugs to which the bacteria are sensitive according to the culture results. These are, as a rule, macrolides - clarithromycin, azithromycin or tetracyclines - doxocycline.

It will be necessary to use parenteral forms of antibiotics, since their bioavailability is much higher than that of tablet drugs.

In the event that the inflammatory process is caused by protozoa - intestinal amebiasis, dysentery, then in this case it will be necessary to use antiprotozoal drugs. Of this series, metronidazole performed best. Pimafucin, a proven antimycotic drug, will be effective against fungal processes that arise due to the massive proliferation of microscopic fungi from the genus Candida.

Regarding the dosage, it should be selected in each individual case depending on the patient’s age, severity of the condition and body weight, as well as the presence of contraindications.
