Both Ribomunyl and Luivac are preparations that are non-specific bacterial vaccines. Since they contain a very similar composition as to bacterial strains, the effects will be similar. So you can consider these products as their substitutes. Ribomunyl, 1 tablet contains: 0.525 mg ribosomes expressed as ribosomal RNA derived from ribosomes extracted from the following bacterial strains: K. pneumoniae (3.5 pcs.), S. pneumoniae (3 pcs.), S. pyogenes group A (3 pcs.), H. influenzae (0.5 pcs.) and 1.875 mg membrane fraction (proteoglycan) from the K. pneumoniae strain (15 pcs.) Luivac 1 tabl. contains 3 mg of lysate from at least 1 billion cells of each of the following strains: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis, Haemophilus influenzae.
Excuse me, I'll ask again to make sure? Is the composition really similar to ribomunyl or more similar to that of Bronho-vaxom? Bronho-vaxom unfortunately does not work at all :( and ribomunyl helped a very older daughter, so she is looking for ribomunyl.
