Pharmacological action

A bacteriophage is a bacteria-specific virus that adsorbs to the cell membrane of a homologous bacterium, disrupts its integrity, penetrates the cell, multiplies, and causes its lysis.

Travelphage contains only virulent phages selected from bacteria (Shigella, Salmonella, E.Coli, Proteus, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, Enterococcus), which determines the high activity and effectiveness of the drug.

After ingestion, the drug quickly passes through the gastrointestinal tract into the blood and lymph and easily reaches the site of the disease.

It is excreted from the body: the main part is excreted through the kidneys, the rest through the gastrointestinal tract.
