Pharmacological action
A bacteriophage is a bacteria-specific virus that adsorbs on the cell membrane of a homologous bacterium, destroys its integrity, enters the cell, multiplies and causes its lysis. Phagesti® contains selected, only virulent phages which determines the high activity and efficiency of the preparation.
Regardless of the route of introduction into the body, bacteriophage preparations are quickly absorbed into the blood and lymph and easily reach the center of the disease. It is excreted from the body: the main part through the kidneys, the rest through the gastrointestinal tract.
