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.

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.

Enterosgel for alcohol poisoning

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.

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.

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.
