In the treatment of a variety of infectious inflammatory diseases, which are caused by pathogenic microbes, solutions containing sterile phagolysates of these microorganisms are used. In pharmacies, there are usually 2 types of such drugs: complex and polyvalent pyobacteriophage - the difference between them is difficult to notice immediately, which is why many people get the wrong medicine.
What is the difference between a complex pyobacteriophage and a polyvalent?
Search for the difference between the drugs in question should be in the instructions, in particular - carefully study their composition. In 1 ml of polyvalent liquid piobacteriophage contains a mixture of purified filtrates of phagolysates of the following pathogenic microorganisms:
- streptococci ;
- proteus mirabilis and vulgaris;
- staphylococci;
- escherichia coli;
- Klebsiella pneumonia ;
- pseudomonas aeruginosis.
If we pay attention to the bacterial composition of the complex pyobacteriophage, then it also contains the listed active components. But still in solution contains a sterile phagolysate of enterococci.
There is no significant difference between the action or the effectiveness of the polyvalent and complex piobacteriophage. Both drugs have approximately the same list of indications. The only difference is that if the disease is caused by enterococci, the polyvalent solution will not help.
What is better to buy - a complex or polyvalent pyobacteriophage?
Before the appointment of any medications with antimicrobial effect, an analysis is performed that identifies the causative agents of the existing disease, as well as their sensitivity to various drugs.
The expediency of purchasing a particular bacteriophage is determined by the doctor. If pathology is provoked by enterococci, it is better to take a complex solution.
