It is especially appropriate to take this medication for chronic forms of these diseases.
As the instruction says, the Holosas syrup is useful for the biliary tract disease - this disease is characterized by a disruption of the sphincter of Oddi, because of which the tone of the ducts is either raised or lowered, and therefore there is no normal excretion of bile.
Other indications for the use of Holosas are reduced immunity and metabolic disorders. Consider these two problems in more detail.
Holosas for strengthening immunity

Holosas for losing weight
A well-known means for losing weight is a cocktail of Senna herbs, raisins and syrup Holosas - drinking it is usually advised in all forums for slimming. However, in fact, a set of these drugs, even theoretically, will not help get rid of excess fats, tk. acts quite differently.
So, Senna irritates the intestines and relaxes the stool, and raisins cause fermentation. As a result, food does not have time to digest, and a person begins diarrhea (besides, it is advised to combine a cocktail with a hunger diet in general). After a few days of such therapy, the arrows of the scales will actually show a smaller figure, but this is an illusion, because after eating the weight will recover again. A syrup Holosas, as already noted, increases the production of bile, which inevitably increases appetite. In addition, the cocktail is rich in carbohydrates, and the syrup itself is very sweet.
Given that most people have problems with excess weight are closely related to high blood sugar, this method of losing weight can safely be called risky.
As a result of taking senna, syrup and raisins, inflammation of the intestinal mucosa and even ulceration can begin. But at least the pain in the abdomen and the rumbling, multiplied by the feeling of hunger, will become a true companion of losing weight.
Holosas for cleansing the body
Despite the above-described disadvantages of syrup as a means to lose weight, it can still benefit if you drink it for 1 to 3 weeks before you go on a diet. The drug will purify the liver and improve blood circulation in it, replenish the stores of vitamin C, normalizes the work of the intestines, will give an easy diuretic

People with impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus are also contraindicated. During pregnancy use it with extreme caution. In any case, before taking Holosas, it is necessary to consult a doctor.
