LIGNIN is the main ingredient of the product FILTRUM®. It is a natural enterosorbent, which is a product of acid hydrolysis of wood. The sorption capacity of lignin is 1,000 times greater than that of the activated charcoal sorption capacity. LIGNIN is a sorbent with a wide spectre of activities. Also, LIGNIN is safer enterosorbent then activated chacoal.
LIGNIN is a polymer of plant origin, a polysaccharide with a developed porous structure. The structure of lignin is modified by processing (hydrolysis) in such a manner as to obtain a wider range of adsorption and adsorb a large number of components and complexes of different molecular weights (endo and exotoxins, viruses, bacteria, and their metabolites). Lignin does not damage the intestinal mucosa. It is not toxic, and it is not absorbed, but completely excreted from the body through faeces within 24 hours. Since it is resistant to gastrointestinal enzymes, lignin is eliminated from the gastrointestinal tract unaltered, and is thus considered a dietary fibre.
FILTRUM® tablets – indications:
Diarrhoea of various etiology (bacteria, viruses, parasites)
Dysentery, salmonellae, dyspepsia, and toxic infections
Food and alcohol poisoning
Travellers’ diarrhoea
Pyo-inflammatory diseases with floristic intoxication
Kidney and liver failure
Drug and food allergy
Acute poisoning caused by alkaloids, medical products, heavy metal salts, and other toxic agents
Dysbacteriosis
FILTRUM® tablets – dosage:
Recommended usage is one dose 3-4 times a day one hour before a meal and/or taking other medications.
The dose depends on age and weight.
Dosage in adults:
1 to 3 tablets 3-4 times a day one hour before a meal and/or taking other medications
The recommended duration of the treatment is 3 to 5 days for acute infections and poisonings, and 14 to 21 days for allergies and chronic intoxications.
FILTRUM® can be used by pregnant and lactating women, as well as by children younger than one year of age (in consultation with a medical doctor).
The administration of FILTRUM® tablets in alcohol intoxication
In the treatment of alcohol intoxication, the product can be used with other medications, but also independently. Different doses are recommended depending on whether the case is prevention or a therapeutic use of hydrolysed lignin;
Prevention:
Two tablets 20 minutes before the consumption of alcohol and two tablets after the consumption of alcohol.
FILTRUM® – advantages over ANTIBIOTICS
Antibiotics are not efficient against viruses!
EMA has banned the use of quinolone and fluoroquinolone antibiotics for the treatment of diarrhoea!
Frequent use of antibiotics creates resistance!
Filtrum® affects all known causes of acute diarrhoea!
Filtrum® is safe, natural, non-toxic, and well-tolerated!
FILTRUM® – advantages over LOPERAMID
Loperamid is not efficient against bacteria and viruses!
Loperamide is contraindicated in Salmonella and Shigella infections!
Filtrum® affects all known causes of acute diarrhoea!
Filtrum® is safe, natural, non-toxic, and well-tolerated!
FILTRUM® – advantages over S. BOULARDI
BOULARDI is not efficient against viruses and parasites!
Filtrum® affects all known causes of acute diarrhoea!
Filtrum® is safe, natural, non-toxic, and well-tolerated!
LIGNIN – has greater adsorptive power than DIOSMECTIT (Smecta®)

Main characteristics and advantages of the application of FILTRUM® tablets:
Unique natural product for the treatment of acute diarrhoea and other intoxications
Filtrum® affects all known causes of acute diarrhoea!
Lignin is a sorbent with a wide spectre of effects
Lignin is 1,000 times more efficient than activated charcoal
Clinical studies confirmed its efficiency as an independent treatment or in combination with other medications
Lignin does not damage the intestinal mucosa
It is not toxic, does not get absorbed, does not have a systematic effect, and gets completely excreted within 24 hours through faeces
It does not create a resistance
It can be used by children and pregnant women
Safe – no side effects!
It does not have a direct parallel – AVVA Pharmaceutical is the only producer of lignin in the world
