Today, poisoning is quite frequent. In everyday medical practice, you can find different types of poisoning. Most often, they are exposed to chemicals, medicines, herbicides, phytoncides, and other agents that are used in agriculture to treat soils and vegetation. Of drugs most often poisoning occurs when the dosage is exceeded or as a result of prolonged therapy with potent substances. This includes antitumor, anti-tuberculosis drugs, strong antibiotics, fungicides, antiparasitic drugs. Often occurs intoxication, resulting from various diseases. Endotoxins produced by bacteria, viral and parasitic factors of pathogenesis are also capable of causing numerous pathologies and symptoms of intoxication in the human body. There are cases of alcohol intoxication. Each season is inevitably poisoned with mushrooms. Regardless of the type and severity of the poisoning, there is a need for detoxification therapy. Practically universal means enterosgel at a poisoning.
It is an enterosorbent with the ability to bind toxins and take them out. It begins to act immediately after it has penetrated into the body, into the digestive tract. Attracts to itself toxins, which are still in the stomach, and even sorbs those that have already penetrated into the blood. Then there is a binding of toxins, and their excretion through the feces. This binding effect is due to the action of silicon as the main active substance.
Indications Enterosgelya for poisoning
Enterosgel should be taken as soon as the first signs appeared, which directly or indirectly indicate poisoning, regardless of what exactly caused the poisoning. Often used in the complex treatment of severe poisoning, provoked by the use of drugs, as well as ingestion of salts of heavy metals, acids. It is also effective against endotoxins, which are formed in the human body in the case of the development of the inflammatory and infectious process. A severe degree of intoxication develops in the body as a result of the development of sepsis, bacteremia, and other severe purulent-inflammatory diseases.
It is often just an indispensable tool in the fight against the effects of intestinal diseases caused by infectious agents. Helps with salmonellosis, botulism, dysentery. In a relatively short time, eliminates vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, relieves irritation of the mucous membranes. Normalizes the state of microflora and displays the decomposition products formed during toxic infections, helps normalize and infer the side metabolites, toxins formed as a result of dysbiosis. Often used as part of complex therapy, and in the form of monotherapy.
Indication is the excessive number of circulating immune complexes that accumulate in the blood as a result of illness or excessive activity of the immune system. It helps to neutralize and infer an excessive amount of antigens and autoimmune complexes in allergic reactions, especially when there is a food intoxication and a drug allergy.
It is used for hepatitis to relieve the condition, removing those components that are not completely processed by the liver. It is recommended for prophylaxis to those people who have intoxication 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 addicted to alcoholism. Increasingly, poisoning happens during major holidays, holidays. The number of poisonings in New Year's holidays sharply increases.
When there are symptoms of alcohol intoxication, enterosil will be an indispensable assistant. It is used not only when the poisoning has already occurred, and all its symptoms are "on 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. People who abuse alcohol are at risk: they are drunk in large quantities for a long period of time. People who use cheap and substandard drinks, mixtures, surrogates, fakes are also at risk. Great risk for people who have a history of alcohol poisoning, or epilepsy (seizures).

Enterosgel for food poisoning
If a person is poisoned with food, typical symptoms of poisoning appear, as the body tries to eliminate substances that have a toxic effect from the stomach, cells and tissues. Often poisoning is accompanied by a high degree of contamination of food by pathogenic microorganisms, which multiply and form as a result of their vital activity toxic substances and by-products of intoxication.
The action of enterosgel is directed to the binding of toxins and bacterial cells and their excretion from the body. Usually they are excreted with feces, but in more severe cases they can also be excreted with vomitic masses. It removes irritation and inflammation, which contributes to an accelerated recovery. Accept, depending on the severity of the pathological process, the severity of intoxication.
Enterosgel for vomiting
The drug effectively eliminates nausea and vomiting, thanks to the ability to bind and take out products of intoxication, toxins. Vomiting usually occurs as a reflex reaction in response to the irritating effect of toxins on the walls of the digestive tract. After removing toxins out, the degree of irritation decreases, nausea decreases, and vomiting is eliminated.
Release form
It is a pasty substance that is intended for pre-dissolution in water and ingestion. 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 a bag of combined material. Then all the tubes are placed in a cardboard box. In Russia and Ukraine, the drug is known by a single name - enterosgel.
Pharmacodynamics
Pharmacodynamic properties are based on the ability of a substance to bind and remove toxins. First, the binding takes place in the intestine. Then, by way of reverse absorption, those toxins that have already absorbed are sorbed from the blood. They are also linked and displayed in any available way. In severe intoxication - through vomiting, with a relatively stable state is excreted with feces.

Pharmacokinetics
Principle of action: the matrix of methyl silicic acid hydrogel effectively absorbs toxins. This effect can be achieved due to the transmembrane effect of villi intestinal cells, as well as the peculiar movement of the ciliary epithelium. In addition to toxins that get into the blood, enterosgel collects metabolic products that have not undergone a full cycle of decay and remain in the body.
First of all, substances with medium and low molecular weight are to be absorbed. Also absorbed are incorporated radiotoxins. After the completion of absorption processes, the complex of the drug and toxins is released to the outside by a natural way (with mucus masses).
Also an important property is the ability of the sorbent to stop the inflammatory process. As a result, the metabolism in the body is normalized. It is quite obvious that the ability of the drug to normalize and basic human laboratory indicators. Eliminating toxins, the drug, on the contrary, contributes to the normalization of both the general physical state and the functional state of the organism. First of all, the load decreases from the liver and kidneys.
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 motor skills come to normal. An important property is that the drug does not cause atony, on the contrary, the intestine comes into tone. The ability to absorb and have systemic effects on the body, the drug does not have, respectively, side effects almost do not arise.
How quickly acts enterosgel?
The drug begins its action immediately, as soon as it has got inside. The effect is noticeable after 30 minutes, the maximum effect is manifested after a 2-hour period of time. The action is intensified if intensively washed down.
Dosing and administration

Enterosgel with vomiting in the child
The drug is used for vomiting. Children can also be taken, as 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 wall, resulting in a vomiting reflex. The mechanism of the effect of the drug on the child is no different from this in the treatment of an adult. It attracts toxins, binds them and prevents further intoxication. The way of application, dosage and duration of the course can be determined by the doctor, since it depends not only on age, but also on many other factors. But in most cases, appoint a tablespoon 2-3 times a day. For children under the age of five, this dosage is reduced by half.

The drug does not harm the mother's body, because it does not have the ability to penetrate the systemic bloodstream. It acts at the level of the intestine, sorbing the toxins and removing them from the body. Thus, it can be said that the drug positively affects, helping to purify the body. It can be used even for the treatment of toxicoses of pregnant women. It is also possible to apply to nursing mothers, because metabolic products often accumulate in their bodies, the level of circulating immune complexes rises.

Reviews
If you analyze reviews, you can note that most of them are positive. So, one child at the age of 2 years had a red stain on his face. Allergy was detected, autoimmune disorders. The doctor prescribed first antihistamines, then - hormonal ointments. Nothing helped, then the family got an appointment with an immunologist who showed a large number of circulating immune autoantibodies, which indicates the autoimmune nature of the disease. Therefore, to neutralize them, enterosgel was prescribed.
However, the child refused to drink the medicine, because it is tasteless. Mom had to raise a remedy in kefir, yoghurt. But it helped very quickly: in 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 preventive maintenance we drank 4 more days (only 7 days). Reyonok became much less likely to get sick.
Another family writes that this drug has long been one of the main means of a home medicine chest, which is used in various situations. He helps his husband with alcohol poisoning, improving his health after the holidays and corporate parties. The wife helped overcome the symptoms of toxicosis during pregnancy. The daughter very often has to be used for food poisoning, from which the child suffers, especially after traveling to the country. Eliminates vomiting, nausea, diarrhea in a relatively short time, normalizes well-being. My mother-in-law helped even when she was poisoned by eating low-quality food in the public canteen. Was first assigned to a child for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. Helped overcome symptoms.
The only drawback is that many people consider unpleasant taste. Most members of the forum tend to believe that this is primarily a medicinal product, therefore, its therapeutic properties, effectiveness in combating poisoning, other symptoms of intoxication should be of paramount importance. The taste in this case should be less important.
