Poisoning with harmful substances, food, alcohol, drugs is an unpleasant, dangerous phenomenon. Taking intestinal adsorbents is a measure of neutralizing toxic substances and eliminating them from the body for a speedy recovery. The use of group drugs is introduction into the stomach through a tube, in the usual way, applicable after vomiting, removing vomit with toxins, dangerous microorganisms from the stomach. Enterosorbent is offered en masse; the decisive quality of the medicine is the binding of toxic substances and removal from the body. The latest generation of absorbents is capable of collecting certain molecules on the surface, ridding the body of viruses, bacteria, and dangerous substances. It acts without removing vitamins, minerals and elements necessary for humans.
Enterosgel is one of these drugs that can remove harmful substances selectively, in the most gentle way for the body. The medicine has become widespread, is used everywhere, by different age groups, there are no contraindications. It can be used for vomiting in a child, nausea, nursing women, people with chronic diseases, and pregnant women. The drug is often prescribed due to its versatility and effectiveness.
Enterosgel - medicine
The gel is represented by an organosilicon compound, to which molecules of a toxic nature of average mass are attached due to the porosity of the surface of the suspension elements. It is advisable to use Enterosgel for vomiting if it is necessary to remove:
- Soleil;
- Bacteria, their metabolic products;
- Chemical compounds hazardous to humans;
- Medicines;
- Allergens;
- Products of natural metabolism that accumulate in the body - bilirubin, urea, lipids.
The intestinal tract does not create conditions for the absorption of the drug; the medicine helps the process of restoring beneficial bacterial microflora without affecting the process of food movement in the tract. It is advisable to take in case of food, alcohol poisoning, allergies, and other diseases. The gel can be recommended for nausea; indications are diarrhea and abdominal pain. Can be given to children under 2 years of age, to infants, and to patients with acute symptoms.
Indications: toxic infections, disease prevention, intestinal infections, damage from poisons, including potent ones. Suitable for chronic poisoning of any origin, diarrhea, including non-infectious, kidney diseases with an increase in nitrogen in the blood, high bilirubin, hepatitis, septic diseases when the body is damaged by by-products.
What are the features of Enterosgel?
Enterosgel, a modern gel-like sorbent based on bioorganic silicon, has a unique molecular structure. The pores in them are of a strictly defined size, optimal for the absorption of molecules of toxins and poisons and at the same time safe for vitamins, microelements and beneficial intestinal microflora. Once inside Enterosgel, toxins are securely fixed in it and cannot “fall out” back into the intestinal lumen, as happens with other sorbents - in case of poisoning, Enterosgel effectively removes toxic substances outside without losing them in the intestines. The drug is safe for digestive bacteria and does not cause vitamin deficiency even with long-term use.
Due to its structure, Enterosgel has a pronounced detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and antidiarrheal effect. It does not react with the body, is not absorbed into the blood, does not accumulate in the tissues of the body, and does not settle on the inner surface of the gastrointestinal tract.
Enterosgel absorbs and removes from the body:
- toxic substances, both exogenous (entered the body from the outside) and endogenous (appearing as a result of the body’s vital activity);
- pathogenic bacteria and toxic products of their vital activity;
- allergens;
- salts of heavy metals;
- toxic components of medications;
- alcohol;
- some metabolic products that are safe in normal quantities, but in excess can be harmful to health - for example, bilirubin, urea, cholesterol.
By thoroughly cleansing the intestines of toxins, Enterosgel helps normalize the composition of the intestinal microflora.
In case of poisoning
Available as a paste or suspension for ease of use. Dosage, quantity, frequency vary - for children, the instructions suggest giving small doses. The volume depends on the disease, the form - chronic, acute.
Food poisoning
Food poisoning involves taking the drug after vomiting, the attack should stop, nausea may remain. The contents of the package are diluted with a triple amount of water, boiled, not hot, natural room temperature is optimal. The anti-vomiting medicine is taken with a spoon, washed down with a glass of water, 200-250 ml.
Acute forms of the disease in adults require three sachets or 1.5 tbsp. spoons. Severe forms and a dangerous course require taking a dose twice as large three times. The increase is relevant for 3 days, from 4 days the usual volumes are used. The largest amount of the drug per day is 6 sachets, 202.5 g, it is not recommended to exceed.
Alcohol poisoning
The action is relevant for alcohol damage, after Enterosgel the withdrawal syndrome is relieved, the drug is relevant as a preventive measure, preventing the occurrence of the syndrome. The breakdown products of alcohol, part of the ethyl alcohol, are bound by the product and removed from the body. The process of intoxication slows down, headaches are eliminated, and vomiting is relieved. The drug is taken 30 minutes before drinking alcohol, the second time before bedtime. Feeling unwell is a reason to take 2 sachets after 4-6 hours.
Low-quality alcohol can cause deterioration in health, the drug helps to cope with the problem. Severe intoxication requires taking 3 packs, after 6 hours the same dose, 3 sachets, is taken. The dosage is maintained for up to 3 days, taking 3 times a day. A serious condition, a bad reaction to the medicine, or its absence is a reason to immediately consult a doctor. Poisoning with counterfeit alcohol is dangerous, takes severe forms, and has complex consequences.
Drug poisoning
Drug injuries in case of overdose, overdose, or improper use are dangerous, they take different forms, the use of the drug is advisable after consultation with a doctor, direct recommendation of a specialist. Take one sachet 3 times a day, 3-5 days. An allergy to medications requires long-term use of the drug, up to 2-3 weeks, chronic poisoning requires a similar approach. The drug can partially suppress and neutralize the effect of other drugs; when prescribing several drugs together, you must remember this. Enterosgel is not taken simultaneously with other drugs; a break of 2 hours is required.
Taking Enterosgel for a hangover
Withdrawal syndrome often darkens the morning after a fun holiday. By taking the gel for poisoning, you can quickly reduce the ethanol content in the blood and reduce the manifestation of unpleasant symptoms:
- nausea;
- vomiting;
- headache;
- dry mucous membranes;
- headache;
- weaknesses.
After drinking alcoholic beverages, under the influence of food enzymes, ethyl alcohol is broken down into acetaldehydes and acetic acid. In moderate quantities, the liver processes them into carbon dioxide and water, which are practically not harmful to health. Gel against alcohol poisoning can be used at any stage:
- During the event to protect the stomach. A film is created that reduces the percentage of absorbed alcohol and saves from alcohol poisoning.
- Immediately after taking the last drink. Anti-intoxication gel will reduce unpleasant consequences and support liver function.
- At the first signs of a hangover immediately after waking up. This significantly reduces the body's recovery time.
How to take Enterosgel for adults with alcohol poisoning depends on the severity of the situation. When it enters the intestines, the absorbent paste absorbs alcohol compounds like a porous sponge. It creates a film on the mucous membrane through which dangerous toxins do not penetrate the body. Within a few hours, healthy appetite and peristalsis are restored, and well-being improves.
If you have Enterosgel in your home medicine cabinet, the instructions for use for alcohol poisoning contain the following recommendations:
- Rinse the stomach with clean water, remove any remaining food and alcohol by vomiting.
- Prepare a detoxification composition by stirring the gel used for poisoning in a glass of clean water at the rate of 1 spoon per 50 grams of liquid.
- After 2-3 hours, repeat taking the product.
This procedure allows you to cleanse your body of alcohol in 3–4 hours. In case of severe vodka hangover, Enterosgel should be used for at least 2-3 days for poisoning. At the same time, you should switch to a light diet, give up fatty foods and alcohol. To restore the balance of minerals, you can take Regidron, Smecta and other drugs. The vitamin complex will help saturate the tissues with beneficial compounds lost during diarrhea.
For pain in the hypochondrium or bitterness in the mouth, treatment is extended for several days until complete recovery is achieved. If the patient is obese, doctors allow the use of the medicine up to 70 g daily.
If you need to drink Enterosgel when vomiting, you must completely empty your stomach and take a special drug that blocks the gag reflex: Motilium, Cerucal, Buscopan. Only after 30-40 minutes should you drink the absorbent paste with a small amount of water. When used correctly, unpleasant symptoms disappear within 3–4 hours.
For children
The child will safely take the drug from the moment of newbornhood; the enterosorbent absorbs substances selectively, without creating danger or deficiency for the body. It is advisable to give the drug to the child in cases similar to adults. Effective for diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, poisoning. The main indications are viral enteritis, toxic food infections, and accidental drug poisoning.
The dosage is prescribed as follows. Up to 6 months, the child is given half a teaspoon per three tablespoons of milk, formula, water, given 6 times a day, before feedings. From six months to 5 years, half a tablespoon three times a day, no more than 1 sachet per 24 hours.

Enterosgel for diarrhea in a child is an effective remedy that will help remove toxins and normalize microflora. It is important to take it correctly, consider the course and dosage. This way you can quickly remove unpleasant symptoms.
Indications for use of the drug
Enterosgel is a drug that is highly effective against various forms of intoxication, both food and alcohol.
Main indications for the use of the drug:
- Chronic and acute intoxications of various origins.
- Alcohol poisoning.
- Food poisoning.
- Intoxication with salts of heavy metals, potent toxic substances.
- Intestinal diseases of infectious origin.
- Drug allergies.
- A bowel disorder, the cause of which has not been established.
- Dysbacteriosis.
- Viral hepatitis.
- Impaired normal functioning of the kidneys, blood poisoning
- Prevention of chronic poisoning in workers whose professional activities are associated with hazardous working conditions.
Enterosgel is often recommended for preventive use for people living in areas with unfavorable ecology. The drug helps prevent the development of acute or chronic poisoning, as well as increase the level of the body's defenses.
Composition and action
Enterosgel is an inert silicon-based compound. The main active ingredient is methyl silicic acid in the form of a hydrogel. The rest is purified water.
The drug has the following effects:
- cleansing of the gastrointestinal tract system - active components actively absorb toxic substances of any origin with an average particle size, products of their own metabolism;
- improves intestinal microflora without suppressing lacto- and bifidobacteria;
- normalizes indicators in blood and urine tests;
- improves the functions of the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys;
- activates intestinal motility;
- helps stabilize the immune system.
The paste envelops the stomach and intestinal walls. Prevents the appearance of erosion on mucous membranes, increases local immune defense. It is not absorbed into the systemic circulation and is excreted unchanged in the feces.
When purchasing adsorbent at a pharmacy, a prescription is not required. After opening the package, no special storage conditions are required. It is enough to tightly close the container with the paste. Do not freeze, the drug loses its beneficial qualities.
The shelf life of open packaging is 3 years from the date of manufacture of the medicinal product.
The cost of Enterosgel is low. In Ukraine, a package of adsorbent weighing 135 g costs 75–80 hryvnia. For residents of the Russian Federation, the drug will cost 404 rubles per tube of 225 grams.
Pharmacological properties and pharmacokinetics
Methylsilicic acid hydrogel acts as a “sponge”, absorbing toxins of various origins and metabolites with an average molecular weight. Thus, Enterosgel has sorption and detoxifying properties. Absorbed substances are removed from the gastrointestinal tract before they could cause intoxication.
Together with sorbent particles, excess amounts of bilirubin, cholesterol and other endogenous substances (metabolites) are removed. Thanks to this, the condition of the intestines and immune system is normalized, and liver function is facilitated and improved.
The hydrogel absorbs heavy metal compounds, alcohol, food allergens, and medications. Enterosorbent naturally removes some strains of viruses, pathogenic bacteria, and microbial toxins from the gastrointestinal tract. The pores of the hydrogel are too small for macromolecules of proteins, many vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and polysaccharides.
Enterosgel paste and its suspension with water do not injure the walls of the gastrointestinal tract. On the contrary, sorbent particles envelop the mucous membrane and protect it from the attachment of microbes. The active ingredient is not digested, is not able to penetrate the intestinal mucosa and accumulate in the body. After 12 hours, the hydrogel, associated with toxins of various origins and food debris, is removed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Does it help with diarrhea in children?
Enterosgel belongs to the pharmaceutical group “sorbents”. These drugs are not monotherapy, but are used in complex treatment.
The active substance of the drug absorbs toxic substances in the gastrointestinal tract and protects the mucous membranes from further damage. This allows you to stabilize the condition of a newborn, older child, and stop attacks of nausea. Methyl silicic acid has a weak fixing effect.
But diarrhea is not an independent disease. This is a symptom. An upset stomach may hide bacterial infections, rotavirus, and oncological processes. Even with one-time diarrhea, it is advisable for the child to be examined by a doctor. And for infants and newborns, with a rise in temperature and the presence of additional symptoms, this is a mandatory requirement!
Indications and contraindications
Enterosgel is a universal and safe sorbent. It is used in the complex treatment of intoxications and diseases not directly related to poisoning.
The drug is indicated in the following cases:
- as part of complex measures for toxic liver damage;
- cirrhosis;
- preventive measures for deratization, disinfection, and work with toxic substances in agriculture;
- hepatitis of various etiologies, including toxic and mechanical forms;
- cholecystitis;
- diarrhea, including non-infectious origin;
- kidney diseases that can provoke renal failure - glomerulonephritis, inflammatory processes of any etiology, the presence of cystic formations;
- in case of poisoning with alcohol, narcotic substances;
- diseases of the gastrointestinal tract - gastritis, colitis, condition after surgery, ulcers;
- toxicosis in pregnant women in the early stages;
- dysbacteriosis caused by long-term use of antibiotics or antibacterial agents;
- infection with pathogenic flora - dysentery, salmonellosis, rotavirus;
- oncological diseases - before and after surgery, chemotherapy and radio irradiation sessions;
- allergic diseases - diathesis in children, neurodermatitis;
- skin pathologies - eczema, psoriasis.
There are few contraindications to prescribing the drug. This is only intestinal obstruction and intestinal atony. After surgery and restoration of normal motility of the organ, the drug is taken as prescribed by the doctor.
Pregnancy at any stage or the period of breastfeeding is not a contraindication to the use of Enterosgel.
The drug is a safe and universal adsorbent. But you can use it on your own for diarrhea in a baby only if you clearly know the cause of the diarrhea.
In other cases, especially if the diarrheal process does not end after the first episode, inclusions of blood, mucus or undigested food appear, the child should be shown to a doctor! But you need to have this universal sorbent on hand in your home medicine cabinet in any case!
Young parents experience real stress when they first encounter the phenomenon of vomiting in a child. It may be preceded by a deterioration in the baby’s well-being, but it is not necessary. Often an unpleasant symptom occurs suddenly.
The reasons are varied: intoxication of various origins, malfunction of some organs, for example, the pancreas, damage to the body by infections, etc.
If uncontrollable and repeated vomiting occurs, the child must be seen by a doctor. Before his arrival and in the case of an uncomplicated condition, enterosorbent medications are indicated. One of them is Enterosgel.
Reception features
The drug should be taken at intervals of one hour before or after taking other medications. Taking it together with other medications will cause the absorbent to interact with the medication and reduce its beneficial effect. The course of treatment usually does not exceed 5 days, but in severe cases it is extended to one and a half weeks. The drug is prescribed extremely rarely for a month or more.
"Enterosgel" can be prescribed indirectly to a baby with allergies (from mother's milk, in dosages specially selected for an adult). The doctor decides how long to give the drug. For example, with eczema and skin rashes, improvement is observed within 5 days. Drinking plenty of fluids will help prevent constipation while taking the drug.
The dose of the drug is calculated depending on the age of the child. Infants up to 6 months are allowed to take Enterosgel once a day in gel format. It has no taste, smell or sweeteners, so it will not cause rejection in the child. Dosage – a third of a teaspoon diluted in double the volume of liquid (2/3 tsp). For a 6-month-old baby, the volume of the drug is adjusted to 0.5 tsp. The drug is offered after meals.
Children one year old and older are given 1 tsp. Enterosgel 2-3 times a day, still choosing the gel dosage form. Whether to dilute it with water or not depends on the child’s reaction to the drug. If he does not want to drink the gel in its pure form, you can use another method - dilute it with water or tea, mix it with fruit puree. A similar dosage is used up to 6 years. At an older age, the drug is given 1 dessert spoon 3 times a day.
External use
Enterosorbent is combined with “Tsindol” (an antibacterial suspension) in a combination of 1 to 3 and applied to problem areas. The doctor determines the frequency of such applications individually, combining them with the use of other topical medications.
Poisoning
The cause of food poisoning in children is expired food, pesticides in vegetables and fruits, and poorly prepared dishes. It is possible that there will be contact with household chemicals and medications that the baby may accidentally reach. Enterosgel has proven effective in the treatment of food poisoning. It soothes and protects the intestinal mucous membranes, easily removes toxins, and restores intestinal microflora.
Diarrhea is caused by many factors, and its main danger is dehydration. It is important to consult a doctor to understand its cause and begin treatment promptly. Among the drugs recommended by pediatricians for diarrhea, Enterosgel stands out. The dose is taken according to the standard regimen, but in severe cases of diarrhea, the doctor doubles the daily dose.
Rotavirus enters the body through unwashed hands and airborne droplets. Its main symptoms are vomiting, diarrhea, fever and a sharp deterioration in health (see also: causes of vomiting in a one-year-old child). The main thing for parents is to prevent dehydration, since with the loss of fluid the body loses valuable minerals.
Allergy
Allergic dermatitis (diathesis) often occurs in preschool children. Itching and inflammation of the skin negatively affect the child’s well-being. In addition, allergic dermatitis often becomes a harbinger of more severe phenomena - bronchial asthma, allergic conjunctivitis and rhinitis. Enterosgel removes toxins and food allergens that have accumulated in the intestines for a long time, thereby freeing the body from their influence.
What can you mix Enterosgel paste with for a child? After all, with all its wonderful properties, Enterosgel is not liked by all children.
The suspension feels like soaked, tasteless marshmallows. Sweeteners are added to the sweet paste, which also have a rather specific taste.
Therefore, a child can easily spit out an unfamiliar “delicacy.”
To prevent this from happening and for the child to swallow the medicine, Enterosgel is diluted with any liquid or fruit puree.
Water or mother's breast milk is suitable as a liquid.
Be sure to choose non-allergenic fruit puree, especially if you need to get rid of the symptoms of hypersensitivity.
The drug is diluted in a ratio of 1 to 3 (5 g of medication and 15 g of liquid, for example) with the selected product.
After administration, the child can be given any amount to drink, but you should wait two hours with food. If one of the symptoms of the disorder is vomiting, and all the water you drink goes with it, you can use the so-called “fractional” drink: 50-70 ml of warm water after each attack.
For very young children, water can be replaced with special solutions - Regidron, for example. If this is not the case, mineral water without gases or weak tea will be suitable as a replacement.
This method will help avoid dehydration due to vomiting attacks.
Characteristics of the drug
Enterosgel belongs to the group of sorbents . Its active substance (organic silicon compound) adsorbs and absorbs poisons and toxins of various origins.
The drug has a similar effect to its analogue, the well-known activated carbon. But manufacturers claim that the effectiveness of Enterosgel is much higher due to its special cellular structure.
In descriptions it is often compared to a sponge. Thanks to this structure, the drug effectively manifests itself by binding harmful substances and toxic microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract, and then actively removes them.
The active substance does not interfere with the absorption of vitamins and other beneficial microelements.
Available in 2 forms - a suspension in the form of a paste, which can be taken directly orally, and a hydrogel for preparing a suspension.
The gel in the prescribed dosage is stirred in 50 ml of water and the resulting composition is taken. Due to ease of use, children are most often given paste .
Instructions for kids of different ages
The medical instructions for the drug contain information that it is not recommended for children under one year of age .
However, most pediatricians calmly prescribe medicine to infants for intoxication and poisoning in a proportionate dosage. More details about the use of Enterosgel for children under one year old can be found here.
The dose is half a teaspoon of paste (2.5 g) . This amount of the drug should be mixed with three parts of water or breast milk and given to the baby before feeding. Number of doses – up to 6 times a day.
Children from one to 5 years of age (including a 2-year-old child) who vomit can be given a teaspoon of Enterosgel 3 times a day. The maximum permissible amount of the drug should not exceed 15 g per day.
Children from 5 to 14 years old are prescribed two teaspoons 3 times a day (no more than 30 g per day). Over 14 years old, adult dosages are recommended - a tablespoon 3 times a day (up to 45 g per day).
List of the best antiemetics for adults
Today, the pharmaceutical industry offers patients drugs from different groups with different properties. They are used depending on the accompanying symptoms.
Funds group | Peculiarities |
Serotonin receptor antagonists | Drugs in this group do not suppress the production of serotonin, which helps transmit a signal to the brain and provokes vomiting, but they do eliminate its effect in the form of the gag reflex. As a result, a natural process of preventing vomiting occurs without significantly affecting the concentration of serotonin in the blood. Medicines are considered effective and are used for dyspepsia of various origins. |
Histamine receptor blockers | These medications are usually used as anti-allergy medications. However, they suppress the processes in the brain responsible for the gag reflex. Only 1st generation medications that can affect the central nervous system are suitable for this. |
Anticholinergics | These medications not only suppress the gag reflex by blocking the interaction of several receptors, but also help eliminate spasm of the muscle fibers of the digestive system. Additionally, the medications have hypnotic properties, which also helps prevent the re-development of the gag reflex. |
Dopamine antagonists | Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that, when interacting with trigger zones, provokes vomiting. Dopamine antagonists help block the receptors that trigger its increased production. As a result, the gag reflex is suppressed. |
Additionally, there are groups of products of natural origin.
A new generation antiemetic for adults has more pronounced properties than other medications. Their peculiarity is the elimination of nausea and vomiting without affecting the central nervous system.
This means that the medications do not have a sedative or hypnotic effect, which allows them to be used at any time of the day. However, the drugs are used with extreme caution, since they provoke serious complications if the dosage is exceeded or the rules of administration are violated.
