זומער איז די צייַט פון ינטעסטאַנאַל ינפעקטיאָנס: ווי צו באַשיצן אייער משפּחה בשעת אויף וואַקאַציע?

Despite the fact that most often intestinal problems occur during departure, those who stay at home or rest in their home country, as well as at their beloved lake / river, are at an increased risk of catching an intestinal infection in the summer. Of course, children are in a special risk group. It’s not for nothing that diarrhea is often called a disease of dirty hands.

To know how to cope with the problems of upset, nausea and loose stools, you need to understand one important thing: in most cases, this is only a consequence of bacteria entering the gastrointestinal tract. What we call a poisoning or disorder is what doctors call an intestinal infection, which is often caused by a bacterium such as E. coli.

An interesting fact: many of the currently popular diarrhea remedies that we are used to using act on the symptoms, not the cause of the disease (pathogens). In this case, it is not surprising that “treatment” can lead to a lengthening of the recovery period and other unpleasant consequences. Let’s see what drugs and how can help cope with diarrhea.

What medications are the smart choice for diarrhea caused by bacteria that have entered the body through food, water, or dirty hands? The answer is obvious – antibacterial drugs.

Of course, at the first sign of a disorder, the best decision would be to see a doctor, do an analysis, wait for laboratory results, and understand which bacteria caused the diarrhea. After that, the doctor will prescribe an antibacterial agent suitable for you. But … The practice of vacationers usually fits into one phrase: “What to take in order to recover as soon as possible?”

Take at least some antibacterial drug? Controversial decision. For example, drugs of systemic action, which are absorbed into the blood, are recommended by doctors only for serious infections; their use in milder forms of the disease is considered unjustified, since the risk of side effects increases, and they can further disrupt the microflora. Also, the selected drug must be active against a wide range of pathogens that cause diarrhea. Of course, it is better that the drug is suitable for the whole family: for adults, and for children, and for the elderly.

One of the drugs that meets all of the above requirements is Stopdiar. Firstly, it has a favorable safety profile and acts locally, that is, it is not absorbed into the bloodstream and therefore does not have a systemic effect on the body. Also, the drug has high activity against many types of pathogenic bacteria, including mutant strains that are resistant to the effects of many other drugs. Finally, it does not disturb the normal microflora. Thus, Stopdiar can be counted on if vacation plans, which have been prepared for a year, or even more, are in jeopardy. Acting immediately on the cause – bacteria, the drug takes the shortest path, helping to stop the disease faster.

Remember: having the right drugs in your holiday medicine cabinet is the key to a good rest for the whole family!
