Enterosgel for adult and child poisoning

Today, poisoning is quite common. In everyday medical practice, you can encounter various types of poisoning. Most often, people are exposed to chemicals, drugs, herbicides, phytoncides, and other agents that are used in agriculture to treat soil and vegetation. Of the drugs, poisoning most often occurs when the dosage is exceeded or as a result of long-term therapy with potent substances. These include antitumor, anti-tuberculosis drugs, strong antibiotics, fungicides, antiparasitic drugs. Intoxication caused by various diseases is often encountered. Endotoxins produced by bacteria, viral and parasitic pathogenesis factors can also cause numerous pathologies and symptoms of intoxication in the human body. Cases of alcohol intoxication are increasing. Every season, people inevitably get poisoned by mushrooms. Regardless of the type and severity of poisoning, there is a need for detoxification therapy. Enterosgel is a virtually universal remedy for poisoning.

It is an enterosorbent that has the ability to bind toxins and remove them. It begins to act immediately after it has entered the body, into the digestive tract. It attracts toxins that are still in the stomach, and even absorbs those that have already entered the blood. Then the toxins are bound and removed through feces. This binding action is achieved due to the action of silicon as the main active substance.

Indications Enterosgel for poisoning

Enterosgel should be taken as soon as the first signs appear that directly or indirectly indicate poisoning, regardless of what exactly caused the poisoning. It is often used in the complex treatment of severe poisoning caused by taking medications, as well as by the ingestion of heavy metal salts and acids. It is also effective against endotoxins that form in the human body in the event of an inflammatory and infectious process. A severe degree of intoxication develops in the body as a result of sepsis, bacteremia, and other severe purulent-inflammatory diseases.

It is often simply an irreplaceable remedy in the fight against the consequences of intestinal diseases caused by infectious agents. It helps with salmonellosis, botulism, dysentery. In a relatively short time, it relieves vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and relieves irritation of the mucous membranes. It normalizes the state of microflora and removes decay products formed during toxic infections, helps to normalize and remove side metabolites, toxins formed as a result of dysbacteriosis. It is often used both as part of complex therapy and as monotherapy.

The indication is an excessive amount of circulating immune complexes that have accumulated in the blood as a result of illness or excessive activity of the immune system. Helps to neutralize and remove excessive amounts of antigens and autoimmune complexes in allergic reactions, especially in cases of food intoxication and drug allergy.

It is used for hepatitis to alleviate the condition, remove those components that are not fully processed by the liver. It is recommended for prevention to those people for whom intoxication is an occupational disease, with constant contact with poisons and toxins, especially if they have a polytropic effect. Indications are poisoning and constant contact with xenobiotics.

Enterosgel for alcohol poisoning

Today, cases of alcohol poisoning are not uncommon. Poisoning occurs not only among alcoholics who abuse alcohol, but also among people who are not prone to alcoholism. Poisoning occurs more and more often during major holidays and vacations. The number of poisonings increases sharply during the New Year holidays.

When symptoms of alcohol intoxication occur, enteroslell will be an indispensable assistant. It is used not only when poisoning has already occurred, and all its symptoms are “on the face”, but also as a preventive measure that makes it possible to prevent poisoning. This is especially important for those people who fall into the risk group for alcohol poisoning. The risk group includes people who abuse alcohol: who drink in large quantities, over a long period of time. Also at risk are people who drink cheap and low-quality drinks, mixtures, surrogates, fakes. The risk is high for people who have a history of alcohol poisoning or epilepsy (seizures).

Enterosgel for food poisoning

If a person has been poisoned by food, he or she will show typical signs of poisoning, as the body tries to eliminate substances from the stomach, cells and tissues that have a toxic effect. Poisoning is often accompanied by a high degree of contamination of food with pathogenic microorganisms that multiply and form toxic substances and by-products of intoxication as a result of their vital activity.

Enterosgel's action is aimed at binding toxins and bacterial cells and removing them from the body. They are usually excreted with feces, but in more severe cases they can be excreted with vomit. Irritation and inflammation are relieved, which promotes accelerated recovery. It is taken depending on the severity of the pathological process and the severity of intoxication.

Enterosgel for vomiting

The drug effectively eliminates nausea and vomiting, due to its ability to bind and remove intoxication products, toxins. Vomiting usually occurs as a reflex reaction in response to the irritating effect of toxins on the walls of the digestive tract. After the toxins are removed, the degree of irritation decreases, nausea decreases, and vomiting is eliminated.

Release form

It is a paste-like substance that is intended for preliminary dissolution in water and oral administration. It consists of 100 grams of polymethylsiloxane polyhydrate, as well as 30 grams of distilled water (acts as a preventive agent). The product is placed in a special tube or package made of a combined material. Then all the tubes are placed in a cardboard package. In Russia and Ukraine, the drug is known under a single name - enterosgel.

Pharmacodynamics

Pharmacodynamic properties are based on the ability of the substance to bind and remove toxins. First, binding occurs in the intestine. Then, by reabsorption from the blood, those toxins that have already been absorbed are sorbed. They are also bound and removed by any available means. In severe intoxication - through vomiting, in a relatively stabilized state, it is excreted with feces.

[ 6 ]

Pharmacokinetics

Operating principle: the methylsilicic acid hydrogel matrix effectively absorbs toxins. This effect is achieved due to the transmebtrans action of intestinal cell villi, as well as the unique movement of the ciliated epithelium. In addition to toxins that have entered the blood, enterosgel collects metabolic products that have not undergone a full decay cycle and remain in the body.

First of all, substances with medium and low molecular weight are subject to absorption. Incorporated radiotoxins are also well sorbed. After the completion of absorption processes, the complex of the drug and toxins is excreted naturally (with feces).

Another important property is the ability of the sorbent to stop the inflammatory process. As a result, the metabolism in the body is normalized. Quite obvious is the ability of the drug to normalize the main laboratory indicators of a person. By eliminating toxins, the drug, on the contrary, helps to normalize both the general physical condition and the functional state of the body. First of all, the load on the liver and kidneys is reduced.

An important point is the ability to restore the basic properties of the intestinal mucosa. As a result, the state of the immune system is normalized, the level of immunoglobulin increases. This prevents erosive and ulcerative processes, neutralizes the effect of aggressive factors, protects the walls. Peristaltic movements and motility are normalized. An important property is that the drug does not cause atony, on the contrary, the intestines come into tone. The drug does not have the ability to be absorbed and have a systemic effect on the body, accordingly, side effects practically do not occur.

How quickly does Enterosgel work?

The drug starts to act immediately after it is taken. The effect is noticeable after 30 minutes, the maximum effect is seen after 2 hours. The effect is enhanced if you drink it heavily.

Dosing and administration

Enterosgel is taken orally, several hours before meals, preferably in the morning, on an empty stomach. Do not combine with other medications. The interval should be at least 2 hours), since enterosgel will remove and neutralize any drug as a potential toxin. It is recommended to drink plenty of water. You can immediately dissolve in a glass of water and drink. Take three times a day.

The dosage depends on age. Thus, adults are recommended to take 1.5 tablespoons of the drug at a time, which is one packet. For children under 14, this dosage is reduced to about a tablespoon at a time. Half a tablespoon is enough for children under 5. The drug is also given to infants if necessary. Half a teaspoon per day is enough for them. This amount of the drug is divided into 6 doses, mixed with breast milk, and given before starting to feed. For prevention, you can drink a packet twice a day (for adults). In case of severe intoxication, the dosage can be doubled.

How much enterosgel should you take in case of poisoning?

The duration of treatment depends on the severity of the pathological process, age and condition of the patient and usually ranges from 3 to 5 days. In case of minor poisoning, three days are enough, in case of severe intoxication, drink for about 5 days. If necessary, the course of treatment can be extended to 7-10 days. If a person is susceptible to chronic intoxication and poisoning, the drug can be taken for 2-3 weeks. It is also taken for a long time for allergic and autoimmune diseases.

Enterosgel for vomiting in children

The drug is used for vomiting. Children can also take it, since the mechanisms of vomiting are no different in adults and children. This is always a consequence of intoxication of the body and irritation of the intestinal walls, resulting in a gag reflex. The mechanism of action of the drug on a child is no different from that in the treatment of an adult. It attracts toxins, binds them and prevents further intoxication. The method of application, dosage and duration of the course can be determined by a doctor, since it depends not only on age, but also on many other factors. But in most cases, a tablespoon is prescribed 2-3 times a day. For children under five years of age, this dosage is halved.

Use Enterosgel for poisoning during pregnancy

Numerous tests and randomized studies have confirmed the safety of the drug. It does not have a teratogenic effect, and therefore does not harm the fetus. The drug does not harm the mother's body either, since it does not have the ability to penetrate the systemic bloodstream. It acts at the intestinal level, absorbing toxins and removing them from the body. Thus, it can be said that the drug has a positive effect, helping to cleanse the body. It can even be used to treat toxicosis in pregnant women. It can also be used by nursing mothers, since metabolic products often accumulate in their bodies, and the level of circulating immune complexes increases. It has a positive effect on lactation, improving the quality of breast milk. But before you start taking it, you need to consult a doctor.

Reviews

If you analyze the reviews, you can see that most of them are positive. Thus, one child at the age of 2 developed a red spot on his face. Allergies and autoimmune disorders were detected. The doctor first prescribed antihistamines, then hormonal ointments. Nothing helped, then the family got an appointment with an immunologist, who identified a large number of circulating immune autoantibodies, indicating the autoimmune nature of the disease. Therefore, enterosgel was prescribed to neutralize them.

The truth is, the child refused to drink the remedy because it was tasteless. Mom had to dilute the remedy in kefir and yogurt. But it helped very quickly: after a few hours, the child became much more active, the next day the spots became much paler. On the third day, they disappeared completely. For prevention, we drank it for another 4 days (7 days in total). The child began to get sick much less often.

Another family writes that this drug has long been one of the main means of the home medicine cabinet, which is used in various situations. It helps the husband with alcohol poisoning, improving his well-being after holidays and corporate events. It helped his wife overcome the symptoms of toxicosis during pregnancy. My daughter very often has to use it for food poisoning, from which the child suffers, especially after trips to the country. Eliminates vomiting, nausea, diarrhea in a relatively short time, normalizes well-being. It even helped my mother-in-law when she was poisoned by eating poor-quality food in a public cafeteria. It was prescribed for the first time to a child to treat atopic dermatitis. It helped to overcome the symptoms.

The only drawback many consider to be the unpleasant taste. Most forum members are inclined to believe that this is primarily a medicinal product, so its medicinal properties, effectiveness in combating poisoning, and other symptoms of intoxication should be of primary importance. Taste in this case should be less important.
