Polysorb: instructions for use, indications, contraindications, analogues

Polysorb MP is the trade name of a drug used as an enterosorbent for conditions of the body accompanied by intoxication of various etiologies:

• for poisoning, intestinal infections
• for viral infections (flu, ARVI)
• for allergies, dermatoses, psoriasis
• for hepatitis, jaundice
• for renal failure
• for preventive cleansing of the body when working in hazardous industries or living in an environmentally unfavorable area

Pharmacotherapeutic group and international name:

Enterosorbent agent is colloidal silicon dioxide. Intended for oral administration - white, light powder for the preparation of an odorless suspension. When diluted with water, it forms a suspension.

Pharmacological properties:

The instructions for use of Polysorb indicate that it is an intestinal sorbent based on highly dispersed silica - a non-selective, inorganic, multifunctional enterosorbent, the chemical formula of which is SiO2, and the particle size is up to 0.09 mm. It has pronounced detoxification and sorption properties.

The drug in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract binds and promotes the removal from the body of internal (produced by the body) and external (coming from outside) toxic substances of any nature:

• bacterial toxins and pathogenic bacteria themselves, viruses, fungal infections
• food allergens
• antigens
• poisons and drugs
• alcohol, its breakdown products
• radionuclides, heavy metal salts

Some metabolic products:

• cholesterol and lipid complexes (see how to reduce cholesterol without drugs)
• urea
• excess bilirubin (see causes of increased bilirubin)
• metabolites leading to the development of endogenous toxicosis

Polysorb can be used for colds and ARVI, as it removes toxins and alleviates the symptoms of intoxication - joint and muscle pain, headache, weakness. Some studies by French specialists have shown that the use of the drug for influenza helps reduce high body temperature without antipyretics, shortens recovery time, and improves general condition.

Polysorb MP is not absorbed and is not broken down in the gastrointestinal tract and is excreted unchanged.

General properties of the medicine

Polysorb contains silicon dioxide. The powder mass is packaged in jars. The medicine captures toxin molecules and waste products of bacterial and viral agents well. The drug can bind molecules of alcohol, metals, radionuclides, and radicals. All harmful substances move through the intestines without being absorbed into the bloodstream. The medicine is not absorbed through the walls of the intestinal tube. It comes out with stool in the same form.

The drug is approved for infants weighing less than 10 kg. The product can be used in children of preschool and school age. Pregnant patients should take the sorbent only as prescribed by a doctor.

Indications for use of Polysorb:

• intoxication syndrome;
• intestinal infectious diseases;
• purulent diseases in surgical practice (if there is a spread of pathogens);
• drug overdose, poisoning with poisons, alcohol-containing drinks, metals and their salts;
• allergies to foods and medications;
• increased blood bilirubin, icteric syndrome due to hepatitis;
• elevated levels of nitrogen in the blood due to kidney dysfunction.

Polysorb is not used for ulcerative damage to the intestinal tube, bleeding from the walls of the stomach and duodenum. You cannot use Polysorb if there is no tone of the intestinal walls. The medicine should not be prescribed if you are intolerant to its components.

When using Polysorb, undesirable effects may occur. The medicine can cause constipation, allergies, stool disorders, vomiting, and nausea. The drug can capture calcium and vitamin molecules. Long-term use of the drug leads to calcium deficiency, osteoporosis (with regular use), and hypovitaminosis. Analogues of Polysorb are Activated carbon, White carbon, Smecta, Enterosgel.

Polysorb for weight loss

This enterosorbent can be used as an assistant in normalizing digestion and removing toxins and fat cell breakdown products during a diet to lose weight. However, one should take into account the fact that long-term use of the sorbent reduces the absorption of calcium and vitamins in the intestinal lumen and, coupled with a low-calorie diet and low intake of calcium and vitamins from food, vitamin deficiency may occur and an increase in the risk of developing osteoporosis in the future. Therefore, the therapeutic course of enetrosorbent (14 days) cannot be exceeded. Polysorb can help you lose additional extra pounds (1-3 kg) in combination with a diet, but it is not recommended to abuse it over a long period of time.

How can Polysorb be replaced? We select analogues

Sorbents are a large pharmacological group consisting of dozens of drugs. Popular products with similar effects to Polysorb are presented in the table below.

An analogue of Polysorb, Smecta, is a drug of natural origin.

Unlike analogues, Polysorb has:

• higher sorption capacity (for example, the medicine is more than 100 times more effective than the familiar activated carbon);
• fast acting - begins to bind harmful components within 4 minutes after administration;
• absolute safety - the drug does not contain artificial flavors and dyes, it is approved for the treatment of infants;
• neutral taste - according to reviews, even kids drink the suspension without problems.

Doctors also speak positively about the drug. Thus, according to Dr. Komarovsky, the use of Polysorb is an effective, safe and expedient way to combat diseases. All this makes the medicine an indispensable tool in the home medicine cabinet and a faithful assistant to all mothers.

Analogues of the drug

On the domestic market, Polysorb for weight loss has only analogues, that is, drugs with a similar sorbing effect, but containing other active substances. These include:

• powders for preparing suspensions - “Smecta”, “Diosmectit”, “Microcel”, “Neosmectin”, “Enterumin”;
• paste and gel for suspension – “Enterosgel”;
• powders for preparing the solution - “Enterodez”, “Enterosorb”;

• suspension "Neosmectin";
• granules, paste and powder for suspension - “Lignosorb”, “Polyphepan”;

At the same time, “Polysorb” surpasses many of them in most parameters:

• 3 times “Lactofiltrum”, “Polyphepan”, “Enterosgel” on the absorbent surface created in the gastrointestinal tract;
• 150 times activated carbon in adsorption capacity.

Regarding what is better for losing weight – “Polysorb” or “Enterosgel”, you need to know that, according to practicing nutritionists, the effectiveness of “Enterosgel” is three times lower. However, its cost is comparatively higher. In general, Polysorb is considered the best of all these drugs in terms of price-effectiveness ratio.

General impressions

Many buyers are attracted by the fact that Polysorb is produced by domestic pharmaceutical concerns. Hence the relatively low price, which cannot but attract. The cost of the drug varies from 25 to 350 rubles depending on the size of the package.

Numerous buyers have proven in their reviews that cleansing with Polysorb is truly effective. The product helps with various conditions: food and intestinal infections, allergic reactions, colds and other diseases. Adults who occasionally participate in feasts also like the effect of the drug. It perfectly eliminates the consequences of overeating and hangover syndrome, which usually manifests itself in the morning. In addition, this sorbent helps get rid of skin rashes that are caused by digestive or liver problems.

There are especially many words of praise about Polysorb from women. Girls successfully use it for weight loss, and pregnant women use it to eliminate toxicosis, allergies and any rashes. However, they did not additionally use specialized medications. Women note that this sorbent reduces appetite and creates the effect of satiety, so they manage to keep themselves in shape after losing weight.

Some customers find the taste of the suspension unpleasant. Moreover, they described that the solution was slightly irritating to the mucous membrane when swallowed. However, these disadvantages do not in any way spoil the positive assessment of the drug.

Is Polysorb safe for pregnant women?

Polisorb is not only possible, but also should be taken by pregnant women. In particular, it helps get rid of the symptoms of early toxicosis and returns the pregnant woman to a normal state. Although its spectrum of action is wider.

Pregnant women are prescribed Polysorb:

• for viral diseases;
• drug and food poisoning;
• with vomiting of unknown origin;
• with diarrhea;
• intestinal dysbiosis.

However, there are some contraindications. These are intolerance to components, diseases of the stomach or intestines, erosion.

Note! If you have hemorrhoids or anal fissures, irritation is possible.

To avoid constipation and remove toxins faster, you should drink a lot of water - up to 2.5 liters per day.
Long-term use of Polysorb can be fraught with unpleasant consequences for the body; it is imperative to replenish the loss of vitamins and calcium, since Polysorb is able to remove these substances from the body - take vitamin complexes.
The drug has no effect on the child in the womb, since it is not transported by the blood, and therefore does not pass through the placenta.

Dosage and regimen of medication

How does the Polysorb instruction recommend? For children under one year of age, the use of the medication can be combined with nutrition. Older children should take the sorbent separately from food (unless we are talking about treating food allergies). The daily dose of the drug is determined in accordance with the age and body weight of the child. It ranges from 100 to 200 milligrams of the main component per kilogram of body weight. The total portion should be divided into 3-4 doses. For mild pathologies, a minimum dose (100 mg/kg) is prescribed; severe cases require a maximum volume of medication (200 mg/kg). But more often “Polysorb” is recommended in an average portion: 150 milligrams of the drug per kilogram of body weight. By simple arithmetic calculations, you can find out how much powder your child specifically needs. Here are the approximate ratios of children’s body weight and daily dose of the drug:

• 10 kg – from 1 to 2 g;
• 15 kg – from 1.5 to 3 g;
• 20 kg – from 2 to 4 g;
• 25 kg – from 2.5 to 5 g;
• 30 kg – from 3 to 6 g;
• 40 kg – from 4 to 8 g;
• 50 kg – from 5 to 10 g;
• 60 kg – from 6 to 12 g.

Remember that the indicated values ​​are the daily norm, which must be divided into several doses. For ease of preparation, the instructions indicate that a teaspoon of the medicine contains 1 gram of the drug. A tablespoon contains 3 grams of medicine. The medication is taken only after preliminary dilution. To prepare the composition, you will need clean water at room temperature in the amount of a quarter or half a glass. Place the prescribed single dose into the liquid and stir. Drink the medicine before the cereal sinks to the bottom of the glass. Prepare a new solution each time.

In case of poisoning, intestinal infection

• Acute food poisoning and food toxic infection - as well as in case of allergies, it is first recommended to lavage the stomach with a 0.5-1% sorbent suspension. In case of severe poisoning, wash the stomach every 4-6 hours through a tube, then give the drug orally - a single dose of 0.1-0.15 mg/kg body weight 2-3 times a day.
• Acute intestinal infections - it is advisable to start Polysorb therapy from the first hours of the disease as part of complex therapy. On the first day, the daily dose is taken over 5 hours, taking 1/5 of the daily dose every hour. The next day, the daily dose is divided into 4 doses, the course of treatment is 3-5 days.

Polysorb instructions for use for babies under one year old

The drug is used for infants to prevent diathesis, as well as to eliminate indigestion and allergies.
The dosage form of the drug is used once, only if any violations occur. Polysorb MP has the ability to bind harmful bacteria. This means that the good flora is more firmly fixed between the intestinal villi. If pathogenic flora multiplies abundantly, then it is located primarily in the intestines.

The dosage form of the product can be used from birth. For infants, the powder is diluted in whole milk before feeding.

If the child is older, then the micropowder can be diluted in juice or compote. It is also allowed to dilute in rottisite water before use.

Polysorb is an ideal remedy not only for cleansing the body, but also for effective weight loss. It has no calories. Once in the intestines, it swells, which creates a false feeling of fullness. So you will get rid of toxins and extra pounds.

To better understand how to take Polysorb to cleanse the body and various organs, you can use the table below. Manufacturers of the drug offer their clients a similar one on the official website, but this one is adapted specifically for removing harmful substances, and not for treating diseases.

How to use

Recommendations for use of Polysorb:

• use only freshly prepared product internally, do not use it in dry form - only in the form of an aqueous suspension
• consumed one hour before meals or one hour after meals
• used no more than 4 times a day
• the average daily dose is calculated individually, at the rate of 0.1-0.2 grams per 1 kg of body weight (6-12 grams per day), respectively, the average single dose of the drug is 3 grams.

In case of poisoning

Treatment should begin as early as possible on the 1st day of poisoning. Rinse the stomach with a 0.5–1% suspension of the drug Polysorb. In case of severe poisoning, on the first day, gastric lavage is carried out through a tube every 4–6 hours, and the drug is also given orally. A single dose in adults can be 0.1–0.15 g/kg 2–3 times a day.

Intestinal infections

In case of severe diarrhea, which is of an infectious nature, when pathogenic bacteria enter the stomach and intestines, they cause severe gastric upset, which prevents you from leaving the house. In a matter of minutes the medicine helps:

1. Get rid of diarrhea.
2. Eliminate abdominal cramps.
3. Prevent the development of severe intestinal infections.

Directions for use: the same as for poisoning. Stir the powder depending on body weight in ¼-1/2 glass of water: 1 day - take every hour. Day 2 – dose four times a day. Drink for 5 days.

Polysorb for weight loss

Weight loss with Polysorb occurs due to cleansing of stagnant intestinal masses. They interfere with digestion and slow down metabolism, which contributes to the accumulation of excess weight. The product helps stabilize and regulate the digestion process.

How to use? For weight loss, Polysorb MP is used somewhat differently. Use it in the following single dosage:

• for weights up to 60 kg – 1 tbsp. l. powder in 0.5 cups of water;
• with a weight of more than 60 kg - 2 tbsp. l. for 1 glass of water.

The resulting suspension should be taken 3 times a day 1 hour before each meal.

It should be borne in mind that the enterosorbent itself (like its analogues) does not have a fat-burning effect. Using the drug without medical indications can destroy beneficial intestinal microflora, vitamins and microelements, including protein, which the body needs during weight loss. There is also an increased risk of developing anemia, decreased brain activity, and, most importantly, an increase in appetite.

To cleanse the body

To cleanse the body, the suspension is taken, calculating the dosage based on weight, 3 times a day half an hour before meals or an hour after meals, for 6-12 days.

Polysorb for acne on the face and body

Quite often, dermatologists with profuse acne recommend taking a course of cleansing with adsorbents. All people enter their bodies with many harmful substances from poor-quality food and polluted air. Skin diseases begin as a result of intestinal contamination with toxins and waste. From there, toxic substances penetrate the bloodstream and spread throughout the body, poisoning it.

For allergies

In case of food allergies, the drug should be taken immediately before meals. The daily dose is divided into 3 doses during the day.

results

There are different opinions as to whether Polysorb promotes weight loss. Here it should be borne in mind that we can talk about the effectiveness of the drug only when it is combined with a low-calorie diet and physical activity. Although, even maintaining your usual diet and lifestyle, with the help of Polysorb you can lose 2–3 kg, but only by removing excess fluid and accumulated waste products.

Taking the suspension in combination with diet and exercise can give better results. This is due to the fact that the sorbent not only cleanses the gastrointestinal tract, but also starts the process of burning fat reserves to produce energy. In this case, “Polysorb” can increase the effectiveness of weight loss by 1.5–2 times. This provides the following results:

• the digestive system begins to work faster and more actively;
• there is no strong feeling of hunger;
• weight is lost more intensively.

At the same time, your well-being improves, and there is no loss of strength and fatigue, which is typical for most diets.

In addition, taking enterosorbent can be used to consolidate the result. To do this, you need to take another 1 course 2 weeks after completing the diet, but without restricting your diet. But you shouldn’t get too carried away with Polysorb, since even such a high-quality sorbent with long-term continuous use will begin to harm health, destroying intestinal microflora and interfering with the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. If you have any chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, it is recommended to consult a doctor before starting use.

Use of the drug in adults

How does the instructions for use recommend for adult patients to use the drug “Polysorb MP”? The abstract says that the dose of the drug will depend on the nature of the disease. In this case, the daily portion should be divided into 3-4 doses. The average norm for an adult is from 6 to 12 grams of silicon dioxide per day. Before each dose, you need to prepare a fresh suspension. It is not advisable to store the existing solution. To prepare enterosorbent you will need a quarter or half a glass of water. Adhere to the following rules established by the instructions.

• For food allergies, take the medicine immediately before meals.
• During poisoning, start using the drug as soon as possible. If possible, first rinse your stomach with a suspension of powder. After this, take the medication every 4-6 hours. The general course is from 3 to 5 days.
• For acute diarrhea and intestinal infections, you need to take the drug every hour on the first day. From the second day of illness, the daily dose of the medication is divided into 4 doses. The duration of treatment is 5 days. If symptoms persist, the course can be extended.
• For acute liver pathologies and viral hepatitis, the medicine is used in the classical scheme (the daily dose is divided into 3-4 doses). Therapy lasts from 1 to 2 weeks.
• During seasonal allergies or when exposed to toxic poisons, Polysorb is used for a period of 5 to 20 days. The severity of the disease and the patient’s condition are taken into account. If necessary, gastric lavage is performed with a suspension of enterosorbent.
• Persons with high cholesterol and atherosclerosis are allowed to take the medicine for 1-2 months, but first they should undergo tests and evaluate the clinical picture.

General information about the drug Polysorb

Polysorb is a medicinal enterosorbent that has the ability to bind toxic and poisonous substances, gently removing them from the gastrointestinal tract. The therapeutic effect of using Polysorb is fast and long-lasting, which makes it a priority drug for children of all ages.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=3VZdpVG70pU

Composition of the medicinal product

Colloidal silicon dioxide acts as a powerful sorbent. There are no excipients in the composition of Polysorb, so it is perfect for newborns. The only peculiarity is that in order to avoid side effects, Polysorb should be given to children only after an accurate calculation of the individual dose of the medicine.

Silicon dioxide has a unique ability to form bonds with molecules of biological origin. This effect is explained by the colloidal structure of the substance and the structural features of its molecules. Adsorption of harmful substances occurs in the lumen of the digestive tract, which prevents the absorption of silicon dioxide from the intestines and its entry into the blood. Absorbing particles, along with toxins and other “hostages,” are eliminated through the stool.

Indications for use

Instructions for use of Polysorb for the treatment of children contain the following indications for the use of the sorbent:

• Infectious processes of the digestive system.
• Intoxication due to acute respiratory viral infections, acute respiratory infections, influenza.
• Poisoning with food, chemicals, etc.
• Profuse diarrhea.
• Burns, purulent wounds (internally and externally for children under one year old).
• Allergies of various etiologies, hay fever.
• Dysbacteriosis.
• Stopping capillary bleeding during rashes (externally).
• Serious disturbances in the functioning of the kidneys and liver.
• Jaundice in infancy.
• Ingestion of toxins into the body along with inhaled air.
• Acne, infant diathesis and other skin diseases.
• Viral hepatitis A.
• Gastroenteritis, rotavirus.
• Dyspeptic disorders (diarrhea, increased gas formation, intestinal colic, etc.).

Contraindications and side effects

Giving Polysorb to children is strictly prohibited in case of peptic ulcer, atony, suspected internal bleeding, or individual intolerance to the active substance of the drug.
Before starting to take the drug, if a child has congenital organ abnormalities or other serious physiological disorders, you should consult a doctor. With the correct dosage of Polysorb, no negative reactions have been recorded to date. In rare cases, patients experienced an allergic rash caused by individual intolerance to the components of the composition, short-term constipation and gastrointestinal microflora disorders.

Parents should still understand that uncontrolled intake of enterosorbents can lead to the removal of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, vitamins, and minerals along with harmful compounds. In case of systematic overdoses, the child may experience such undesirable conditions as calcium deficiency and vitamin deficiency.

To avoid side effects, it is important to strictly follow the instructions for taking Polysorb for children

Release form and storage conditions

Polysorb is produced in the form of a dry powder of the active substance for the preparation of a suspension, packaged in sealed bags of 3 grams (1 adult dose) or in plastic jars of 12-25-50 grams

The latter option is more economical, which is important when undergoing a course of treatment. But to determine the required volume of powder you will have to use a spoon

It is recommended to store the drug at temperatures up to +20°C

After opening the sealed container, it is important to close the lid tightly after each use. The shelf life of the sorbent, subject to storage rules, is 5 years

If you diluted Polysorb to give to children for diarrhea, the prepared suspension can be stored for no more than 2 days from the date of preparation.

Composition and properties

“Polysorb” is a light blue, odorless, tasteless, fine-crystalline powder intended for the preparation of a suspension taken orally. It has a huge sorption capacity, which is much higher than that of Smecta, Enterosgel, activated carbon and all other known analogues.

The active and only component of the drug is colloidal silicon dioxide. When dissolved in a small amount of water and taken orally, it works like a “sieve” - sifts and leaves useful substances, but at the same time binds and removes from the body everything harmful that is formed in it or comes from the outside.

Thanks to the unique action of silicon dioxide (silica), Polysorb does not remove or interfere with the absorption of vitamins, minerals, micro-, macro- and other beneficial elements, but, on the contrary, improves their absorption.

These properties of enterosorbent provide effective cleansing and support of the body during weight loss, as well as the elimination of symptoms of diseases caused by obesity and metabolic disorders. At the same time, the drug has some contraindications, so before drinking it, even for the purpose of losing weight, you should consult a doctor.

Advantages and disadvantages

Taking Polysorb for weight loss for healthy people has several important advantages:

• minimum contraindications and side effects;
• effective cleansing of the intestines, the slagging of which often becomes the reason for the inaction of the strictest diet;
• getting rid of skin problems.

The only disadvantage of this sorbent is the possibility of allergies or constipation, but this occurs in very rare cases and, as a rule, when the dosage or duration of administration is exceeded. Like any medicine, it will not have any negative effects if taken in accordance with the instructions and the recommended dose, as well as taking into account all contraindications.

How it works

The adsorbing effect of Polysorb, which, like a sponge, absorbs everything unnecessary in the gastrointestinal tract, provides high-quality cleansing of the entire body and promotes more intensive weight loss. However, the powder cannot be considered an independent means for losing weight - it “works” only in combination with a balanced diet and moderate physical activity.

After ingestion, it acts as follows:

• Once in the stomach, it immediately swells, increasing 4 times;
• causes the stomach to send a signal to the brain that it is full, as a result of which hunger is dulled and appetite is significantly reduced;
• moving through the food tract, the swollen sorbent absorbs and takes away everything harmful and unnecessary, and then removes it out.

Such a thorough cleansing can really help you lose a few extra pounds. At the same time, a clean intestine begins to work more actively, which also contributes to weight loss.

During weight loss, metabolic processes are activated, resulting in the formation of a large amount of toxic substances. At the same time, an organism loaded with excess weight cannot get rid of them on its own, and the benefit of Polysorb is manifested in the fact that it successfully solves this problem.

Thus, proper use of the product helps to normalize body weight through a number of beneficial actions, including:

• high-quality cleansing of the gastrointestinal tract, removal of waste, toxins, decay and rotting products, fecal stones, and other harmful substances from it;
• relieving the load from the gastrointestinal tract, digestive and other systems;
• reducing the calorie content of the diet by displacing fatty acids from consumed foods and reducing the time food remains in the gastrointestinal tract;
• accelerating the fat burning process;
• removal of excess “bad” cholesterol, excess fat complexes and urea;
• normalization of stool;
• reduction of appetite, creation of a feeling of fullness due to the viscous consistency and increased volume of the swollen suspension.

In addition, the suspension blocks the negative effects of free radicals, preventing aging and the development of many diseases. At the same time, it does not reduce the content of useful substances, since, unlike analogues, it acts selectively, not destroying, but restoring the natural microflora and peristalsis without a laxative effect. But in order to ensure that all these effects are obtained, you need to know how to use this remedy correctly.

Side effects and interactions with other medications

Side effects are rare:

• Constipation
• Indigestion - alternating diarrhea and constipation
• Allergic reactions

In people prone to constipation, it may increase (see all laxative medications, how to get rid of constipation at home); this side effect can be reduced by increasing daily fluid intake to 3 liters (if there are no contraindications).

When taken simultaneously with other medications, the therapeutic effect of the drugs taken may be reduced. Therefore, Polysorb is taken separately from medications. Due to the sorption effect of the drug, with long-term use (more than 2 weeks), the absorption of calcium, vitamins and minerals is impaired, therefore, for preventive purposes, additional intake of calcium supplements and multivitamin complexes is indicated.

Use of Polysorb for allergies

In case of an acute allergic reaction - medicinal or food, gastric lavage and an enema with a 0.5 - 1% solution (suspension) of the drug are indicated. Afterwards, it is recommended to take the usual doses until allergy symptoms subside, for 1-2 weeks before meals. It is also recommended to take it for Quincke's edema or recurrent urticaria, before the start of the season of allergies to flowering plants (hay fever) and for other atopies, dermatitis, psoriasis (see atopic dermatitis, treatment of psoriasis) in a standard daily dose, with a course of treatment of no more than 2 weeks.

Polysorb: instructions for use for children (for infants, children under one year old, other ages)

We have already written above in what dosage to take Polysorb for children. Now let's talk about how to take Polysorb for children. Some children drink it calmly, others do not like it.

To avoid having to deal with children's whims, try preparing a suspension based on juice, compote or another similar drink.

You can dissolve the powder in more liquid than recommended to make Polysorb less noticeable. Polysorb is given to infants from a spoon or bottle.

Reviews from doctors

Gordeev V.A., psychiatrist with 33 years of experience, Moscow: “Polysorb is effective for food poisoning, including alcohol poisoning, I use it in drug treatment practice. Can be used as part of complex treatment of allergic diseases. I’m not happy with the dosage form - the powder easily scatters.”

Iskorostinsky E.V., urologist with 20 years of experience, Candidate of Sciences, Yekaterinburg: “I consider Enterosgel one of the most effective sorbents, it helps well with chronic and acute intoxications of various types. I used it for poisoning, I advise you to keep it in your first aid kit. Can be prescribed to children, pregnant and lactating women. Convenient form of administration. Another advantage is the absence of pronounced taste and smell. The disadvantages include the high cost.”

Both drugs can be used by pregnant women to relieve signs of toxicosis.

Lactofiltrum or Polysorb what is the difference

Preparations Lactofiltrum and Polysorb MP

Polysorb MP is an inorganic enterosorbent. It is a fine powder of silicon dioxide. Silicon dioxide itself is biologically inert, but in water it forms a colloidal solution, which creates a protective coating in the stomach and intestines. Its versatility and adsorption capacity are high because it attracts many high and low molecular weight pathogens (heavy metals, radionuclides, alcohol, drugs, drugs, endotoxins, allergens, antigens) and microorganisms, and then removes them from the gastrointestinal tract.

The difference between Laktofiltrum and Polysorb MP is that it belongs to organic enterosorbents. This combination drug is based on two components: hydrolytic lignin and lactulose.

Lignin is obtained from the hydrolysis of wood.
As a natural substance, it has not only excellent sorbing properties, but also biological activity. Lactulose combines the properties of a prebiotic (a substance that promotes the growth of beneficial intestinal microflora) and an osmotic laxative. Lactofiltrum and Polysorb: comparison table

↓	Lactofiltrum	Polysorb MP
Release form	Pills	Powder
Active ingredients:	Lingin hydrolytic + Lactulose	Silica
Manufacturer:	Russia

The combination of lignin with lactulose is very effective. It allows you not only to bind toxins in the intestines, but also to quickly remove them from there by accelerating peristalsis. Moreover, additional beneficial effects when taking Lactofiltrum are the stimulation of beneficial bacteria and the creation of an acidic environment that prevents decay processes.

Indications

Polysorb is prescribed for chronic and acute conditions that require detoxification of the body, namely for:

• infectious and non-infectious intestinal diseases accompanied by diarrhea,
• intoxications of various etiologies,
• poisoning with poisons, drugs, metal salts, alkaloids, narcotic substances, alcohol,
• intestinal dysbiosis,
• purulent-septic diseases,
• drug and nutritional allergies,
• hyperazotemia and hyperbilirubinemia,
• prevention of poisoning in people living or working in hazardous conditions.

For Lactofiltrum, the list of indications is compiled primarily taking into account its prebiotic effect, so it includes:

• intestinal dysbiosis of various etiologies (including those caused by antibiotics),
• cirrhosis of the liver,
• infectious and toxic hepatitis,
• digestive disorders accompanied by pain, bloating, impaired peristalsis (including IBS),
• allergic conditions of various origins.

Contraindications and side effects

Lactofiltrum is contraindicated for:

• galactosemia (as it contains lactulose),
• intestinal obstruction, atony, intestinal obstruction,
• conditions of the gastrointestinal tract accompanied by bleeding, including peptic ulcers.

Just like Laktofiltrum, Polysorb MP is contraindicated for gastrointestinal bleeding, peptic ulcer disease (with exacerbation) and intestinal atony. Both drugs should not be taken if you are hypersensitive to their components.

The difference between Polysorb and Laktofiltrum is that it can be prescribed to pregnant women, especially with toxicosis. Due to the high safety of the drug, it can be used in children from birth.

The question of what can replace Lactofiltrum for pregnant women should be addressed to the supervising doctor, because there is no data on the effect of the drug during pregnancy and lactation.

When using both medications, side effects are possible in the form of allergies, constipation, abdominal pain, decreased absorption of drugs, trace elements and vitamins.

Release form and method of application

Polysobr MP is produced in powder form, and Lactofiltrum is produced in tablet form. Polysorb powder is used only in diluted form.

For chronic conditions and for preventive purposes, enterosorbents, including Lactofiltrum or Polysorb MP, are usually taken 1-1.5 hours before meals.

In case of poisoning, intestinal lavage is done before taking Polysorb. The dose of the drug is calculated according to the instructions in accordance with the patient’s body weight.

Lactofiltrum is prescribed to children from 1 year old, half a tablet, to children from 3 to 7-8 years old - 1 tablet 3 times a day. The adult dose is 2-3 tablets per day.

A package of Lactofiltrum (AVVA-RUS, Russia) for a course of treatment of 10 days for an adult (60 tablets) costs from 313 to 349 rubles. Polysorb MP (Polisorb, Russia) for the same period of treatment (an adult needs an average of 90-100 g) will cost more, because two packages of the drug of 50 g each will be required, each of which costs from 310 to 348 rubles.

Are there analogs of Polysorb that are cheaper than it?

Polysorb has no synonym drugs , i.e. There are no other drugs based on colloidal silicon dioxide, but there are analogue drugs that act in the same way. These include:

• produced in tablets: Laktofiltrum, Filtrum-STI, Polyphepan, Entegnin ;
• produced in the form of powders: Smecte, Neosmectin, Enterodes, Microcel, Enterosorb ;
• produced in the form of pastes: Lignosorb, Enterosgel, Polyphepan .

Note! In general, if we compare the cost of drugs with similar effects and their effectiveness, Polysorb will take a leading position in relation to all, since at a fairly low cost its effectiveness is many times higher.

Action

Experts say that Polysorb is one of the best drugs. This is not just an enterosorbent that binds and removes harmful substances, it is an adsorbent that does not enter into chemical reactions with toxins, heavy metals, or anything else. Accordingly, it does not leave behind decay products and does not disturb the organic balance inside the tissues.

But then how does he manage to get rid of all this “garbage”? It acts like a magnet - it attracts them to its surface, and then, along with them, is removed from the body naturally.

As a result of such cleaning, Polysorb also:

• normalizes stool;
• relieves stress from the digestive system;
• strengthens the immune system;
• reduces appetite;
• destroys pathogenic microflora in the digestive organs and restores favorable ones;
• speeds up metabolism.

His “track record” includes most of the harmful substances that settle in the body and disrupt the functioning of its organs, and he actively neutralizes and removes them:

• alcohol;
• allergens;
• bacteria;
• viruses;
• fungi;
• medicinal chemistry;
• radionuclides;
• heavy metal salts;
• toxins;
• formaldehyde;
• foreign antigens;
• poisons.

In addition, let us remember that as a result of metabolism, decay products are formed, which, when accumulated, also contribute to partial poisoning and slagging of the body. Most traditional sorbents cannot cope with them. But Polysorb is up to this task. It is capable of outputting (in case of excess):

• bilirubin;
• bad cholesterol;
• urea;
• lipids.

So the pharmacological action of Polysorb is very broad. It not only effectively treats poisoning, but also thoroughly cleanses the body. So, if you are looking for an innovative drug with minimal side effects and high effectiveness for getting rid of toxins, this is a great option.

Polysorb, its spectrum of action

Polysorb

Polysorb - or its second name Polysorb MP is an effective and efficient means for stabilizing the body's condition after poisoning or in case of overdose of various drugs. Once Polysorb enters the digestive system, it begins to absorb and collect toxins. Its operation is similar to a cleaning mechanism using a sponge. Harmful components are collected from all body systems and removed from the body. The patient notes a significant improvement in his condition when using the sorbent. The drug is not available in tablet form because compacted components are not effective in adsorption. You can only buy powder in disposable packages and bottles for preparing a suspension.

The detoxification abilities of the product remove toxic substances, alcohol breakdown products, excess medicinal products, radioactive substances, and metabolic waste from the human body. This ability of the drug may adversely affect the action of other drugs. Therefore, it is recommended to take intervals between taking Polysorb and vitamins, microelements and other medications.

Cirrhosis of the liver

The drug is prescribed to children from one year of age and adults for the following pathological conditions:

• allergies of any etiology, any symptoms of the disease, from minor rashes to Quincke's edema;
• intoxication as a consequence of any condition: overdose of drugs, alcohol, failure of the kidneys or liver;
• intestinal infections with single symptoms or a complex of manifestations;
• dysbacteriosis;
• purulent diseases and inflammations of various types;
• a prophylactic drug for those living in unfavorable environmental conditions or working in hazardous industries;
• liver cirrhosis, hepatitis.

Polysorb is commercially available, but consult your doctor before using it.

Polysorb and Enterosgel: which is better to choose

In order to find out, it is necessary to conduct an objective comparative analysis, guided by information from reliable sources. The main property of enterosorbent, which worries both the doctor and the patient, is its effectiveness. As it turned out, not only this indicator is important, but also the safety and ease of use of the drug. Enterosgel is the only jelly-like representative of enterosorbents based on methyl silicic acid. Polysorb is a powdered enterosorbent consisting of small silica particles. Both drugs have similar indications for use. What is the difference?

The mechanism of action of the drugs is similar. But Polysorb’s sorbing properties are higher. Absorption of harmful substances begins instantly. But this type of sorbent does not exhibit selective properties, so it can also remove useful substances. Taking this into account, when cleansing the body, it is recommended to take vitamin complexes at the same time.

If a patient is diagnosed with hypovitaminosis, lack of protein due to diet, concomitant diseases of the kidneys, stomach or intestines, then it is better to give preference to Enterosgel, since the medication has a selective effect.

The choice of medication depends on the duration of treatment. If the course lasts no more than 3 days, then you can purchase Polysorb. And Enterosgel can be taken for a long time without fear of developing side effects.

While these drugs have a lot in common, experts can identify several differences.

Safety	Polysorb has more contraindications. The drug can also absorb proteins, while Enterosgel affects only toxins and does not affect beneficial substances at all.
Convenience	Enterosgel can not be diluted in water, but taken in the form of a paste. It is prohibited to drink Polysorb in its “raw” form.
Efficiency	When thinking about Polysorb or Enterosgel, which is better, it is important to consider that the latter is safer, but Polysorb acts more efficiently and quickly.
Price	Polysorb is cheaper than the more “promoted” Enterosgel.
Dehydration	Enetrosgel does not remove fluids from the body and does not disrupt any natural processes.
Side effects	Unlike the harmless Enterosgel, Polysorb - if taken for a long time - can cause dysbiosis.

For allergies

Both medications are suitable for treating an allergic reaction. To choose the best remedy, it is necessary to take into account the nature of the pathological condition. In this case, the doctor will prescribe a drug that does not have an additional irritating effect.

In case of poisoning

Both drugs are active in case of intoxication and are completely safe for the body. When choosing, the dosage form of the drug is taken into account.

For the treatment of intoxication, Enterosgel, which does not affect the intestinal microflora, is better suited.

If there are allergies and adverse reactions, Polysorb or another analogue is prescribed.

For rotovirus

When treating rotavirus infection, it is better to use Polysorb. Be sure to follow the recommended dosage. If the disease is accompanied by severe symptoms, treatment is carried out in a hospital setting.

For a hangover

Polysorb and Enterosgel act equally effectively against alcohol intoxication of the body. They quickly relieve symptoms and remove toxic substances. If your condition does not improve, then you should consult a doctor to determine the underlying cause of your poor health.

For acne

The products work effectively when used externally. Both medications help treat dermatological problems: acne, diathesis, acne and other inflammatory skin conditions.

Prescription of Polysorb for common childhood diseases

In pediatric practice, the medicine is prescribed for the treatment and prevention of childhood diseases, weakened children, and insufficient weight gain.

Polysorb for diathesis

Diathesis is a pathology with a hereditary predisposition, which is characterized by various manifestations - allergic skin rashes, frequent acute respiratory viral infections, metabolic disorders, muscle cramps .
Happens only in childhood. From the point of view of medical science, diathesis is not a disease, but an adaptation of a small organism to new living conditions. Polysorb for infants is prescribed to eliminate skin symptoms of diathesis - redness and inflammation of the skin, excessive peeling, allergic rash. During diathesis, the drug cleanses the intestines and eliminates irritants that are caused by errors in nutrition, improper care, and frequent infections.

For children under one year of age, the daily dose is divided into 6 parts and given to drink during meals . The duration of the course is prescribed by the doctor, taking into account age, body weight and the severity of the diathesis.

Polysorb for gastroenterocolitis and viral hepatitis A

Gastroenterocolitis (food poisoning) develops acutely. The main symptoms are vomiting and diarrhea, rapid dehydration .
With hepatitis, the liver enlarges and the production of bilirubin increases. The effectiveness of using Polysorb in complex treatment is undeniable. In case of intestinal infection, the drug promotes regression of symptoms, accelerates the child’s recovery, and normalizes laboratory parameters of blood, urine, and feces. Intoxication is quickly eliminated and stool is restored. The child’s pain symptoms disappear, appetite appears, and sleep normalizes.

In case of viral hepatitis, polysorb eliminates jaundice within 4-6 days, and skin itching a week after the onset of the disease. The color of feces and urine is restored by normalizing the level of bilirubin in the blood.

Children with severe intestinal toxicosis can take the medicine . It eliminates toxic effects on the nervous system and restores blood microcirculation. If constant vomiting is observed, then at the initial stage of treatment the child is prescribed an enema with Polysorb (read more about taking Polysorb for vomiting). The dosage of the drug is 1 g of powder per 100 ml of water. The prepared product must be warm so that it lingers in the intestines and quickly binds toxins.

Depending on the degree of poisoning, the course of treatment lasts from 3 days to two weeks. The first day, the dosage interval is every hour, subsequent days – every 3 hours.

Polysorb for allergies

The drug is prescribed for both acute and chronic allergies.

If a child is allergic to foods, the product is used during meals or after meals; if the child is 1 year or younger, it is better to dilute the powder in clean water to avoid intensifying the allergic reaction. Use 3 times a day, course of treatment from 10 days to 2 weeks. For hay fever (chronic rhinoconjunctivitis) and urticaria, the medicine is taken according to the same regimen, only half an hour before meals.

Polysorb is prescribed to children with bronchial asthma. The course of treatment for a 2-year-old child is three weeks. Take 2 g 3 times a day. The frequency of courses is every 2 months and during exacerbations.

Mechanism of action:

1. Blocking allergens.
2. Neutralization of the activity of substances due to the production of histamine and immunoglobulin.
3. Obstruction of absorption into the blood.
4. Removal of allergens through the intestines.

Polysorb for burns, purulent wounds

In addition to oral administration, the product can be used externally. It cleanses the wound surface, accelerates the process of tissue regeneration, and promotes rapid healing . Polysorb prevents bacterial infection from attaching to thermal burns.

Directions for use: moisten a sterile bandage in warm water and wring it out lightly. A packet of powder is poured onto it (the area corresponds to the wound) and applied to the affected skin. Change the dressing every 4 hours.

How to dilute Polysorb

Taking the drug to cleanse the body at home is allowed only after consulting a doctor and strictly following the dosage. For treatment to be effective, follow these rules:

1. The powder should be diluted in water before use. Opened bags of sorbent are not stored for long, since the effectiveness of Polysorb is greatly reduced.
2. According to the instructions, the product is dissolved in cool water at the rate of 1 g per 10 kg of body weight. Each dose of the solution is diluted in 100 ml of liquid and taken an hour before or after meals.
3. The daily amount of sorbent is calculated individually, taking into account age and body weight. For an adult, the maximum is 20 g of Polysorb.
4. The drug can be given to a child only according to a doctor’s indications and subject to constant monitoring.

pharmachologic effect

The drug Polysorb is capable of binding almost all poisonous compounds and toxic substances, as well as neutralizing both poisons coming from outside and waste products of viruses and bacteria formed in the body. This quality of the drug eliminates the symptoms of toxicosis. The medicine softens allergic reactions, eliminates nausea and vomiting. By absorbing these substances in its composition, the drug helps remove them from the body.

Polysorb is capable of removing living forms of pathogenic flora, bacterial cells, fungal pathogens and even viruses.

The product neutralizes drugs, radionuclides and heavy metal salts well.

A strong effect was noted when neutralizing the products of alcohol catabolism (acetaldehydes).

The drug Polysorb helps the body get rid of excess of its own metabolic and breakdown products that provoke toxicosis. Therefore, it can be used for almost any pathology that causes intoxication. Bilirubin binds well and is excreted in pathologies of the liver and gallbladder. Cholesterol compounds, all types of lipids and other biological compounds are perfectly neutralized.

Polysorb is included in therapeutic regimens for the treatment of a significant number of pathologies. Its powerful action allows you to limit yourself to a minimum set of drugs used.

The medicine can also be used for infectious diseases with toxicosis, especially influenza and respiratory viral infections. Taking it when prescribed by a doctor relieves the patient of the need to use antipyretic drugs, accelerates the regeneration of the body and the healing process.

What is Polysorb

If you have set a goal to cleanse your body of toxins, split meals, eating fiber, and giving up bad habits are better suited for this purpose, but in the rhythm of life we ​​pay little attention to this. In this case, the drug Polysorb will help us heal many organs, including the intestines, by removing toxic substances from the body.

Polysorb is a new generation drug that belongs to the group of enterosorbents, that is, it acts inside us. It has a wide range of actions: it is able to bind and retain toxic substances, harmful microorganisms, various allergic irritants, and toxic decomposition products.

The main active substance is natural silicon or silicon dioxide. The product is sold in pharmacies in the form of a powder that dissolves in water.

After entering our body, the molecules of a substance are not absorbed by its walls, but are completely eliminated from the body naturally. The drug is approved for children after 2 years of age; it can be taken during pregnancy and by nursing women, if indicated.

Analogs

The following are used as analogues:

• Silix;
• Smecta;
• Ultrasorb;
• -Activated carbon-;
• Atoxyl;
• Maxisorb;
• Stopdiar (for diarrhea);
• Sorbex;
• Enterosgel.

Lately, there have been frequent debates about which is better for children: Enterosgel or Polysorb? Both of these drugs have the same active ingredient, so they will help solve the problem equally well.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages:

• acts instantly (literally in 3-4 minutes);
• as an adsorbent it is many times better than similar preparations - lactrofiltrum, activated carbon, enterosgel, smecta;
• not absorbed into the blood;
• does not remove useful substances from the body;
• has no age restrictions;
• is not deposited in the body;
• does not contain harmful chemical elements;
• very effective (sorption area is more than 300 m2);
• has a positive effect on intestinal microflora;
• Allowed for pregnant and lactating women.

Flaws:

• addictive;
• overdose is fraught with side effects;
• insufficiently studied and tested.

But here you can clearly see how good cleansing the body with Polysorb is: with many advantages, there are only 3 negative points. This is impressive and makes us pay closer attention to this product.

Contraindications for helminthiasis

Despite the fact that Polysorb is a low-toxic drug, there are a number of contraindications to its use:

• individual intolerance to the active and auxiliary components included in the medication;
• peptic ulcer pathology of the stomach;
• acute intestinal atony;
• ulcerative pathology of the duodenum;
• the presence of bleeding in the intestines and stomach.

If acute liver or kidney failure develops due to helminthiasis, taking Polysorb is possible, but in this case it requires an individually selected dosage and treatment course. Otherwise, treatment with a sorbent may cause harm to the body.

Reviews from some patients indicate that taking Polysorb has the following side effects with long-term use:

• constipation;
• lack of vitamins;
• lack of calcium.

If constipation occurs, the patient is recommended to increase the volume of fluid he drinks to 2.5 liters per day. If calcium or vitamin deficiency occurs, along with anthelmintic therapy, it is necessary to take vitamin-mineral complexes.

Method of administration and dosage of the drug for children

The drug Polysorb must be used in the form of a suspension. The powder should be diluted with water or any other liquid that is pleasant for the child (the exception is carbonated drinks). To measure the amount of powder for children, you need a teaspoon - the weight of the powder in it is 600 mg. The method of administration and dosage of the drug Polysorb are not the same for different age groups of children.

Polysorb for infants under 1 year of age should be prescribed if there is a predisposition to allergic reactions, expressed in the form of redness and small rashes on the skin. The medicine will help free the body from accumulated toxic substances, and children's Polysorb will also help remove all harmful substances without entering the bloodstream, but only through the walls of the digestive tract.

The amount of the drug is calculated from the child’s weight per day and divided into three doses (based on the assumption that the average weight of a one-year-old child is 10 kg):

• Polysorb for newborns (acute intoxication, according to the testimony of a neonatologist) - child weight 3 kg - daily dose of Polysorb - half a teaspoon of dry powder, which must be diluted in a small amount of clean boiled water and poured into the child’s mouth with a spoon three times a day;
• At six months - the average weight of the child is about 6 kg - the daily dose of Polysorb is 1 tsp. fine powder diluted with liquid, but not with mother's milk or formula. The dose of the drug should be divided into three doses;
• One-year-old child - the amount of Polysorb is 1.5 tsp. powder per day, which corresponds to 900 mg of the drug. The product must be diluted with water or another liquid that is pleasant for the child and used in three doses at equal intervals.

For children under one year of age, the drug is prescribed strictly by a pediatrician.

Children from 1 year to 3 years . The amount of Polysorb is calculated based on the child’s weight - 0.75 g of product per 5 kg of weight:

• one-year-old child – 1.5 tsp. powder for a day;
• a child of 2 years (the average weight of a child at this age is 15 kg) - 2.25 g of Polysorb powder, which corresponds to 4 incomplete teaspoons of the drug, which must be diluted in a small amount of liquid and consumed in three doses;
• a 3-year-old child (the average weight of a 3-year-old child is about 20 kg) – 3 g of Polysorb powder, which corresponds to 5 tsp. powder, which should be diluted in clean liquid and given to the child to drink three times.

Children from 3 years to 6 years . The amount of Polysorb is calculated based on the child’s weight - 0.15 g per 1 kg of child’s weight:

• children over 3 years old - 3.3 g of the drug, which corresponds to 5.5 teaspoons of the product diluted in juice or compote. The amount of suspension should be divided into three doses;
• child 4 years old - average weight 23 kg, 3.45 g of Polysorb medicinal sorbent is required, which corresponds to less than 6 tsp. powder diluted with liquid. The product should be used in three or four doses;
• a 5-year-old child with an average weight of about 25 kg needs 3.75 g of the drug - this is a little more than 6 tsp. the drug Polysorb, diluted with water or juice. The suspension should be consumed in 3-4 doses;
• a 6 year old child weighs about 27 kg. The amount of medicine you need to take is 4.05 g of powder. This does not correspond to the full 7 tsp. the drug, diluted with water and consumed in 3-4 doses.

Polysorb dosage for children aged 6 years and up to 12 years is calculated at 0.2 g per 1 kg of child weight:

• child 7 years old - average weight 30 kg - amount of drug 7 g, which corresponds to 10 tsp. product diluted with liquid and consumed in 3-4 doses;
• children's age 8 years - average weight - 35 kg. The required amount of Polysorb powder is 7 g of the drug, which corresponds to slightly less than 12 tsp. finely dispersed product, diluted with liquid and consumed 3-4 times;
• child at 9 years old - average weight 39 kg. You should take 7.8 g of medicinal powder, which corresponds to 13 tsp. Polysorb, which must be diluted with water and consumed within 24 hours in 2-3 doses;
• children's age 10 years - approximate weight 44 kg. The required amount of medicinal powder for a given age is 8.8 g, which corresponds to less than 15 tsp. Polysorb powder. The product should be diluted with water and consumed in 2-4 doses;
• The weight of a child at 11 years old is approximately 50 kg. For a given weight, you need to take 10 g of medicinal sorbent. This is 16.5 tsp. Polysorb powder, which must be diluted with boiled water or compote and consumed in 2-4 doses per day;
• age 12 years - from this moment on, children should be given an adult dose of the drug, which corresponds to 12 g of the drug Polysorb per day or 20 tsp. powder diluted with water, which must be consumed in 2-4 doses.

The course of treatment with the drug: children's Polysorb for uncomplicated pathologies should not exceed more than 3-5 days. The amount of the drug can be diluted per day and divided into the number of doses at regular intervals. The prepared suspension from Polysorb powder must be stored in a cool, dark place for no more than 48 hours.

Side effects

According to reviews of people who have tried the drug, taking Polysorb can occasionally cause some negative reactions from the body. These include:

• constipation;
• avitaminosis;
• dehydration (since the product removes fluid from the gastrointestinal tract, it is important to promptly replenish the water level when taking it);
• lack of calcium (usually occurs due to prolonged use of the drug in excess of the dose).

To summarize: what is important to remember?

Remember that an overdose of the drug provokes a disorder of the digestive tract. When overused, beneficial bacteria begin to be removed from the intestines. Uncontrolled intake also reduces the reserves of microelements and vitamins (to replenish the balance, you should drink vitamin complexes). To minimize the rebound effect, it is important to consult a doctor.

Cleansing the body with Polysorb is an effective method at any age. With the help of the drug you can not only cleanse the internal organs, but also strengthen the immune system. The product also has a proven weight loss effect. Take care of your body and maintain good health.

Rules for using the drug for various diseases

The most common situation is when a person has eaten “something wrong.” The goal in this condition is to remove as much toxins as possible from the body. To influence this, it is recommended to rinse the stomach. An effective method is considered to be a solution based on Polysorb. The suspension is diluted as follows: take two grams of the drug per glass of water, drink the liquid and induce vomiting. A couple of hours after gastric lavage, it is recommended to take a Polysorb suspension. If the cause of poisoning is a food infection, this condition is difficult to eliminate.

Comparative characteristics

Smecta

Smecta is one of the most common analogues in pediatrics. The drug is of natural origin and is well tolerated by children, effectively copes with diseases, but due to the orange flavor it can cause allergic reactions. Enterosgel is an adsorbent, has the structure of a sponge, and is available in the form of a gel. The positive point is that the drug does not remove useful components and does not conflict with other drugs. Allowed for babies from the first days of life. Microcel is effective for intestinal infections, but is only allowed from the age of three. If the mother took the medicine, there was an improvement in the child’s well-being while breastfeeding.

How it works

Polysorb is an inorganic product with strong sorbing properties, created specifically for cleansing the body. The drug attracts and binds toxic components that enter the intestines from the external environment (viruses, bacteria, fungi, poisons, heavy metal salts, other pathogenic substances). The sorbent perfectly removes allergens, waste, radionuclides, harmful cholesterol, drug residues, bilirubin, urea from the body, which negatively affect human health, causing intoxication and various diseases.

Cleansing the intestines is carried out due to the passage of the drug through the organ and the ability to bind toxic substances, after which they are gently eliminated from the body naturally. Despite the local work of Polysorb in the intestines, its action cleanses the lymph and blood flow. They no longer receive harmful substances from the contaminated organ. Pure blood passes through the entire body, where decay products also accumulate, and gradually these toxins/wastes are eliminated naturally.

Sorbent Polysorb, reviews

Snezhana , 31 years old. Twice a year I carry out preventive cleansing of the body from harmful impurities. Since I live in Moscow, where there are a lot of cars and exhaust fumes. Indeed, after such cleansing manipulations I feel much better. I carry out the cleaning for 7-10 days. During this period, I try to eat dietary foods and not abuse fatty foods.

Marina, 35 years old . I live in the Krasnodar region, where there are practically no factories. Despite this, I often clean with Polysorb. This is due to the fact that I suffer from seasonal allergies. I have a strong reaction to ragweed and to pollen from almost all flowers. Therefore, regular cleaning with Polysorb helps me reduce allergy symptoms and improve my health.

Evgeniya, 27 years old. I have known Polysorb for a long time, and I consider it an excellent drug. This year my child caught intestinal flu, so he was treated with Polysorb and a large number of medications. I don’t know what helped, Polysorb or antibiotics, but the virus was defeated in three days. During this time, the temperature disappeared, appetite was restored, and diarrhea stopped. I think this drug is very effective, despite the low cost.
