What is Filtrum ?

Filtrum is a non-systemic, universal approach towards the management of diarrhea. It is considered as dietary fibre. It contains Lignin, a polymer of plant origin.

Filtrum Properties

• Natural Product of wood origin
• Broad spectrum sorption activity.
• High Sorption capacity.
• High affinity to pathogenic micro-organisms.

Powerful

Powerful – high sorption capacity of pathogenic bacteria comparing with activated charcoal.

Lignin Hydrolyzed is 1000 times more effective than activated charcoal in neutralizing pathogenic bacteria ingastro-intestinal tract.

SORPTION CAPACITY OF LIGNIN VS. ACTIVATED CHARCOAL

No Systemic Activity :

• Lignin is not metabolized nor absorbed by the intestine.
• Localized action in the intestine.
• No effect on the gut biota.

Uniqueness :

Filtrum is a unique approach to the management of following:

• Intestinal infection (Acute Enteric Infection), Including food poisoning, and Traveler’s Diarrhea.
• Food intolerance and food allergy.
• Side effects of medicines administration.

Administration and Dosage :

• For Children : Administer after Powdering
• For Adult: Use the whole Tablet.
• Administer after powdering, wash down with water, 1 Hour before meals and administration of other drugs. Dosage depends on age, weight and severity of the disease and shall be the following:
• Children under 1 – 1/4 – 1/2 tablets; children 1-3 – 1/2 – 1 tablet, children 4-7 – 1 tablet, children 7-12  —  1-2 tablets, adults – 2 tablets after every episode of diarrhea and the minimum gap should be of two hours between each dose.

• Repeated courses shall be prescribed by healthcare professional.

Pharmacokinetic & Pharmacodynamics

Pharmacokinetics :

• Absorption : It is not absorbed in the body
• Distribution : Distribution only occurs in the intestine
• Metabolism : It is not metabolized in any parts of the body
• Excretion : It is excreted in unchanged form from Intestine within 24 Hours

Pharmacodynamics :

• It has adsorption capacity over wide range of compounds and complexes with various molecular weights (endo and exo-toxins, viruses, bacteria and it metabolites)
