pharmachologic effect
The therapeutic effect on the dog’s body is ensured due to the vital activity of bacteria of the Bacillus subtilis group in the gastrointestinal tract: bacitracins, interferon alpha-2, amino acids and enzymes.
Bacteria, entering the intestines, produce amino acids that synthesize proteins; interferon and enzymes take part in metabolic processes and strengthen the animal’s immunity.
Bacteria promote active digestion of plant foods, provide high-quality nutrition to the body throughout its entire life, strengthen the walls of the gastrointestinal tract, and normalize the activity of intestinal microflora.
Taking the drug helps reduce pathogenic microflora in the intestines.
Vetom 1.1 is well suited for strengthening the immune system after surgery, chemotherapy, and reduces the toxic effects of drug components on the body.
