Polifepan for cleansing the body and weight loss: composition, indications and contraindications

Our body is a large laboratory in which various chemical reactions constantly occur, resulting in the formation of both useful substances necessary for normal life, and harmful, toxic substances that subsequently settle on the intestinal walls, poisoning the body and not preventing the absorption of useful substances. In this regard, many people who monitor their health do not even doubt the need for regular cleansing of the body from harmful waste products. Especially if you can use a very inexpensive and effective drug "Polyphepan" to cleanse the body, which is also developed on the basis of plant materials and does not have a negative effect on the human body.

The use of "Polyphepan" for cleansing the body is also advisable to improve the therapeutic effect of taking medications, the absorption of which in the gastrointestinal tract occurs faster and more fully. The main thing is to take the drug correctly, which we will talk about a little later.

Release form

Such a useful in all respects drug as "Polyphepan" has the following forms of release:

• Brown tablets for oral administration containing 375 mg of the main active ingredient.

The package may contain a different number of tablets, information about this is placed on the outside of the package. Since the daily dosage for an adult is quite large, packages with 30 or 50 tablets are preferable for solving problems that are resolved in a short time (diarrhea, food poisoning, etc.). For the treatment of chronic pathologies and cleansing the body, "Polyphepan" is best purchased in packages of 100 and 200 tablets.

• Brown granules in 50 and 100 g packages. Granules are placed in paper bags (10 pcs. per package) or plastic jars (100 g).
• Powder for oral administration and preparation of suspension.

The powder called "Polyphepan" is placed in bags and plastic jars with different dosages. For short-term treatment, dosages of 10 (disposable bags) and 50 g are provided, for long-term use and cleansing the body, dosages of 100 and 250 g are recommended.

The powder itself, which is practically insoluble in water, has an unsightly dark brown color, and despite the lack of a distinct taste and smell, many note that the suspension is very difficult to swallow due to the onset of disgust.

• Paste for local use in gynecology, which is applied to the walls of the vagina in case of bacterial (vaginitis, cervicitis) and fungal (candidiasis) pathologies.

The main active ingredient of the drug is a substance of plant origin, which can be found in algae and plants with a developed vascular system. The drug uses a wood component, which is designated in the instructions as hydrolytic lignin. In the powder, lignin is contained in pure form without impurities, and in tablets (granules), sucrose acts as an auxiliary component that improves taste.

Pharmacodynamics

"Polyphepan", which many use for preventive body cleansing and weight loss, is a drug from among inexpensive, but quite effective enterosorbents. It can be considered with great confidence a universal intestinal sorbent, which is able to bind and remove harmful toxins, slags, poisons, metal salts, radioactive isotopes, cholesterol, particles with an allergenic effect and many other substances unnecessary for humans without harming the body.

The detoxifying effect of the drug is achieved due to its ability to remove toxic substances of various nature from the body. Thus, by cleansing the body of harmful substances, Polyphepan helps improve the well-being of patients, while normalizing various physiologically conditioned processes that constantly occur in our body.

The drug helps remove from the gastrointestinal tract not only toxins formed during the life of pathogenic microorganisms, but also bacteria, fungi and viruses themselves, preventing them from entering the blood and lymph. This means that not only the work of the intestines improves, but also the functioning of other organs, such as the liver, kidneys, and lungs.

By using Polyphepan to treat the above pathologies, you can achieve a speedy recovery or at least alleviate the course of the disease.

The drug has sufficient antioxidant and antidiarrheal action, without interfering with the digestive process, but only cleansing the intestines of what prevents it from functioning normally, and normalizing the microflora of this important organ.

By the way, the appearance of pimples on the body is often associated with gastrointestinal tract disorders, as a result of which a large number of decay products accumulate in the body, finding an outlet even through the skin. It is these that we see in the form of purulent contents of pimples. By helping to remove harmful toxic substances and waste products from the body, Polyphepan thereby helps to solve this problem, preventing inflammatory processes on the skin.

"Polyphepan" has also been noted to have a hypolipidemic effect, which is manifested by a decrease in the cholesterol content in the blood and an improvement in lipid metabolism. The latter is the reason for the popularity of the drug as a means for weight loss.

Being a biopolymer of plant origin, lignin is able to bind and remove harmful substances from the body, differing both in structure and chemical composition. In terms of the number of bacteria removed, bound by one gram of the drug, the enterosorbent "Polyphepan" is considered almost ten times more effective than "Activated carbon", which is loved by many for its cheapness and effectiveness.

Pharmacokinetics

When using Polyphepan to cleanse the body and solve various cosmetic problems, it would be a good idea to know that the drug does not interfere with the body’s functioning in any way, does not enter into any chemical reactions that occur in the gastrointestinal tract, and therefore cannot have a negative impact on human health.

When passing through the digestive tract, lignin does not undergo any changes, does not enter the blood and lymph, and is excreted in its original form through the intestines during the first day after taking the powder or tablets. Its only target is the molecules and cells of substances harmful to the body, which it attaches to itself like a magnet and excretes along with feces.

No negative effect of the drug on the microflora of the body, and in particular the intestines, has been noted. On the contrary, doctors note that the drug is a source of plant fibers that help normalize the process of digestion of food and the formation of feces. The process of emptying the intestines in this case also returns to normal and becomes regular.

By maintaining normal intestinal microflora, Polyphepan thus helps to increase cellular and local immunity, and also helps the body fight diseases on its own.

Dosing and administration

The drug "Polyphepan" has various forms of release, which differ not only in dosage, but also in the method of application. For the treatment of small children, who are susceptible to food poisoning and intoxication even more than adults, preference should be given to the powder, which can be mixed into the child's favorite fermented milk products or given to drink with water to improve the taste. Adults can use both tablets and powder with equal success.

The method of using the powder and tablets has certain differences. The concentration of the drug in tablets is apparently slightly higher, so the recommended daily dose of "Polyphepan" for cleansing the body and treating pathologies noted in the indications for use in tablets is significantly lower than in powder.

So, the tablets are intended for oral administration. The frequency of their administration can vary from 3 to 4 times a day. Doctors recommend taking the drug not on a full stomach, and you can only eat after an hour or an hour and a half. By the way, you will have to wait with taking medications, at least an hour must pass after taking Polyphepan before you can take another medicine.

The optimal daily dosage for adults is 12-16 tablets, i.e. 3 to 4 tablets can be taken at one time. When using Polyphepan to cleanse the body, you can limit yourself to the minimum effective dose, but for people with a lot of weight, the dosage can be brought closer to the maximum used for therapeutic purposes.

Children are given the drug in the amount of 9-10 tablets per day and only for medicinal purposes as prescribed by a doctor.

"Polyphepan" in powder form is usually taken orally, having previously diluted the product with water. You can take from ¼ to ½ glass of water, and it is better if it is slightly warm. Swallowing the powder in dry form can present certain difficulties, even if you wash it down with water.

The daily dose of the drug in powder is calculated based on the person's body weight. For each kilogram of weight there should be about 0.5-1 g of the drug. Children are given the drug in smaller doses (from 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon depending on age) for therapeutic purposes. The frequency of taking the powder is the same as for tablets.

The duration of treatment with tablets is usually from 3 to 7 days, with the drug in powder form - from 3 to 5 days. But for the purpose of cleansing the body, "Polyphepan" is recommended to be taken for at least 1 week, but not more than 14 days.

If the body cleansing is associated with poisoning, the drug is taken until the stool is normalized and the symptoms of intoxication disappear. In this case, doctors recommend dividing the daily dose of the sorbent in two. Drink one part immediately if you suspect the possible development of intoxication or the appearance of its first symptoms. And drink the second part in equal portions in 4 doses with an interval of 1.5 hours. The next day, the medicine is taken according to the usual scheme, in a daily dosage corresponding to the patient's weight.

Despite the fact that a decent amount of the drug has to be taken per day, it does not accumulate in the body and does not cause overdose symptoms. However, any cleansing procedures can cause a violation of the vitamin-mineral balance. Therefore, after completing the course of cleansing the body with Polyphepan or its analogues, it is necessary to replenish the reserves of substances necessary for its functioning by taking vitamin complexes and products containing calcium, vitamins E, K, D and all kinds of B vitamins.

Features of taking "Polyphepan" for cleansing the body

When it comes to preventive cleansing of the body in order to lose excess weight or prevent the occurrence of various diseases and unpleasant symptoms indicating slagging of organs and systems, taking Polyphepan will give the best effect if you also observe some other conditions.

The need for cleansing procedures may be indicated by an unreasonable deterioration in health, the appearance of acne on the skin, unhealthy food preferences (fast food, sweets, fried foods and products containing toxic substances, alcohol, etc.), excess weight, not to mention obvious symptoms of intoxication of the body. But even if the requirements of a healthy lifestyle are met, by a certain age the body may accumulate significant "deposits" of toxins and harmful substances, which requires the removal of this "dirt" from the body.

We ourselves can help the enterosorbent to quickly and effectively cope with its task by adjusting our diet for the period of body cleansing. In this case, it is necessary to give preference mainly to food of plant origin (vegetables, fruits, citrus fruits, vegetable oils). You will have to give up meat, eggs, dairy products, butter, bread, buns, cakes, pastries, ice cream. It is advisable to reduce the consumption of boiled potatoes to a minimum, but it is better to eat more raw vegetables.

Sprouted wheat, seaweed, berries and fruits, bran, garlic will become sources of vitamins, microelements and other useful substances necessary for the body during the cleansing of the body with Polyphepan.

Clean water, which should be drunk in large quantities, especially if you are prone to constipation, will also help the drug remove toxins from the body more effectively.

When using Polyphepan to cleanse the body, you should not refuse other effective methods, which together will give a stunning effect. Such simple folk methods include:

• cleansing the oral cavity of toxins using sunflower oil (it should be kept in the mouth for 15 minutes, filtering through the teeth, and then be sure to spit it out),
• rubbing the body with a 3% solution of apple cider vinegar, which should be done in the morning and evening hours, after which the body must be rinsed with warm water (you can lie in the bath or take a shower),
• daily evening cleansing enema (it is better to use Esmarch's mug for this purpose).

The main thing when cleansing the body of harmful substances is not to retreat, even if for some time the condition worsens a little, which is associated with the active removal of toxins. If the deterioration in health is associated with contraindications to the use of the drug, which must be taken into account, no matter for what purpose the sorbent is used, you will have to choose other drugs and methods of action to cleanse the body of harmful substances.

Use polifepan during pregnancy

"Polyphepan" is one of the few drugs that are not only allowed, but also indicated during pregnancy. At the same time, expectant mothers have nothing to worry about. The drug is not capable of harming the health of the woman herself, nor affecting the development of her child. The drug does not have a negative effect on the course of pregnancy.

However, while expecting a child, expectant mothers take Polyphepan not to cleanse the body (although the cleansing effect still remains), but for other indications. The drug can be prescribed for food and drug poisoning, as well as for the treatment of acute intestinal infections.

It is indicative to take this safe enterosorbent to combat the painful condition called toxicosis (gestosis) of pregnant women. The drug effectively combats nausea and prevents vomiting, which are observed with toxicosis at various stages of pregnancy.

Due to the content of plant fiber, "Polyphepan" is able, among other things, to normalize the digestion process, which often undergoes not the best changes during pregnancy. The drug does not have an irritating effect on the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract, but it helps improve intestinal peristalsis and prevents stagnation in it, being an excellent prevention of constipation (another problem for pregnant women).

Contraindications

There are practically no drugs in the world that have absolutely no contraindications for use. But among the large selection of medications offered by pharmaceutical companies, you can always find drugs with a minimum of restrictions regarding the patient's health.

The intestinal sorbent "Polyphepan" belongs to such drugs with a minimum set of contraindications, used to cleanse the body of harmful substances for both therapeutic and preventive purposes.

The main contraindication, common to literally all medications, is hypersensitivity to the components of the drug. True, in case of sucrose intolerance, tablets can be replaced with powder, thus solving the problem of hypersensitivity. But in case of intolerance to lignin itself and the appearance of severe allergic reactions, the drug will have to be replaced with another one with a different active substance.

Another important taboo for taking Polyphepan is constipation. The drug does not have a laxative effect, which means that the substances associated with it will again be retained and accumulate in the intestines, only worsening the patient's condition.

The drug also has several relative contraindications. This means that patients can take the enterosorbent only with the permission and under the supervision of the attending physician, who determines the necessary doses and monitors the patient's condition.

Caution should be exercised when using the drug during periods of exacerbation of peptic ulcer disease, gastritis with reduced acidity of gastric juice, diabetes mellitus (granules contain sucrose, so preference should be given to powder), and decreased tone of intestinal muscles (intestinal atony).

Side effects polifepan

As for the side effects of the drug "Polyphepan", here too you can be more or less calm. The frequency of occurrence of undesirable effects during the use of the drug is very low. The body of most patients reacts to the drug normally.

People prone to allergies may experience mild allergic reactions, which are usually limited to skin rashes and itching. In rare cases of hypersensitivity to the drug, allergic manifestations may be more severe, but not life-threatening.

Patients with weak intestinal motility may complain of constipation, and those who suffer from chronic constipation may complain of a deterioration in their general condition, indicating intoxication of the body.

Preventive use of the drug "Polyphepan" for cleansing the body lasts for 2 weeks, so other side effects are usually not observed. But if you take the drug for a long time (3 weeks or more), it is possible to develop conditions in the body characterized by a deficiency of vitamins and minerals necessary for the functioning of various organs and systems, because enterosorbents do not have special selectivity. Therefore, doctors recommend taking vitamin and mineral complexes during therapy with "Polyphepan" to maintain their balance in the body.

Interactions with other drugs

When taking other medications, it is necessary to take into account that "Polyphepan", used for cleansing the body, is capable of binding and removing not only slags and toxins. Chemical and even natural substances in the composition of medications are perceived by it as foreign substances for the body. The components of medications, getting into the gastrointestinal tract, are also "attacked" by "Polyphepan", due to which a significant part of them can be excreted from the body without having a therapeutic effect.

In this regard, there is a correct requirement to maintain an interval of at least 1 hour between taking Polyphepan and other medications.

This requirement applies more to the use of oral medications, since Polyphepan acts primarily at the level of the gastrointestinal system, cleansing the stomach and intestines of harmful substances, where the absorption of medicinal forms for internal use occurs.

Storage conditions

Enterosorbent "Polyphepan", which is used in various situations for prophylactic cleansing of the body, for weight loss, for fighting acne and treating multiple pathologies in which the detoxifying, antioxidant and antidiarrheal properties of this drug are important, requires certain storage conditions to preserve its properties.

The storage place for the drug, especially for the pharmacological form in powder form, should be cool with an air temperature of 10-15 degrees. Low humidity in the room is also considered a mandatory condition, which will prevent the crumbly mass from clumping and violating its properties. After opening a large-capacity package (from 50 to 200 g) and using part of the contents, the remaining powder should be tightly packed again until the next use. The prepared solution should be used within 24 hours.

Another positive feature of the drug is that its use does not affect the functioning of the central nervous system. The sorbent does not impair concentration and reaction speed, which means that cleansing the body is not an obstacle to performing work that requires increased attention.

Any form of the drug can be purchased at a pharmacy without a doctor's prescription.

Shelf life

The shelf life of the drug, if the above requirements are met, will be 2 years. Otherwise, the sorbent may lose its beneficial properties much earlier.

Analogues of the drug Polyphepan

It is worth mentioning right away that there are not so many preparations with a composition identical to the sorbent "Polyphepan", as well as it is used for detoxification and cleansing of the body. Let us recall the names of these preparations:

• Polyfan
• Entegnin
• Lignosorb
• Filtrum - STI

There are also 2 effective sorbents based on hydrolytic lignin and lactulose, “Lactofiltrum” and “Lactofiltrum ECO”, which serve to cleanse the intestines and restore its microflora.

For the same purpose, you can use enterosorbents such as Polysorb, Enterosgel, activated carbon and others with a similar effect.

Reviews of the drug "Polyphepan"

There are almost more good reviews about the drug "Polyphepan" than there are useful properties of this amazing natural enterosorbent. People who use "Polyphepan" for preventive cleansing of the body are very pleased with the simplicity of the procedure and the effect obtained from it. In addition, the drug is safe for health, so there is no need to worry about the consequences of such cleansing.

Treatment of acne with Polyphepan has a good, lasting effect, since cleansing the body prevents the appearance of new breakouts in the future.

Some patients with extra pounds, especially women, have come to love Polyphepan because it helps to effectively lose weight. The drug has no such indications for use, and it is not positioned as a means of combating excess weight, since it is not able to particularly affect the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates.

However, it is known that without first cleaning the gastrointestinal tract, it is very, very difficult to lose weight. And "Polyphepan", by cleaning the digestive system, thereby helps to normalize metabolism, and accordingly, to correct the figure. At the same time, losing weight again gives not a temporary, but a rather stable effect, unless, of course, you return to your previous lifestyle, characterized by physical inactivity and food excesses.

Some of the reviews about Polyphepan as a weight loss product, which it is not, have a negative connotation due to the fact that they expect more from the drug than it can do. It is important to understand that this drug is not capable of breaking down fats and carbohydrates, it only stimulates metabolism as much as possible and slightly reduces weight by removing toxins from the body. During the cleansing of the digestive system, it is these kilograms that go away, which consist of particles of undigested food, waste products of bacteria, etc. settling on the intestinal walls.

To get the expected result in the form of getting rid of extra pounds (especially if there are many of them), taking Polyphepan is not enough. The drug will cleanse the body, normalize metabolism, correct the composition of the intestinal microflora and prepare the ground for further combating excess weight with the help of physical exercise, proper nutrition and the use of products that stimulate active fat burning.

Cleansing the body from the effects of intoxication also has a lot of positive reviews, ranging from a good quick effect to the low cost of the drug. Pregnant women are especially pleased in this regard, who can use Polyphepan to effectively and safely get rid of the painful manifestations of toxicosis and cleanse the body of harmful substances in food and drug poisoning, which, alas, are not so rare in the lives of expectant mothers.

Negative reviews about the use of "Polyphepan" for cleansing the body are mainly related to the appearance and taste of the drug. The brown color of the tablets and solution does not in any way cause the desire to swallow them, and the surprisingly unpleasant taste noted by many people does not facilitate their intake. But if you consider the result of using the drug, but with such moments, believe me, you can come to terms, because we somehow drink bitter antispasmodics, analgesics and antibiotics if we are struck by unbearable pain or a dangerous disease.
