Polysorb for alcohol and food poisoning

In case of food poisoning, the most important thing is timely and qualified assistance to the person. Gastric lavage is effective only in the first minutes after eating poor-quality or frankly poisonous food, and then it goes down into the intestines, where the absorption of harmful substances occurs. Enterosorbents can prevent it, and "Polysorb" is considered one of the most effective drugs of this kind in case of poisoning.

Emergency aid for poisoning

Food poisoning and toxic substances poisoning is a position in medical statistics that is only growing day by day. And this is especially unpleasant, because intoxication of the body is considered a rather dangerous phenomenon, and its consequences can be failures in the work of various organs, and in some particularly severe cases even the death of the victim. The sooner a person is given help, the less harmful substances will remain in the body and will harm its work.

Typical symptoms of poisoning include severe nausea with vomiting, diarrhea (frequent loose stools with lumps of undigested food), cramping pain and discomfort in the abdomen, general weakness, and dizziness. In severe cases of poisoning, chills and fever appear, and the body temperature can rise to 40 degrees.

Temperature in poisoning, as in any infectious pathologies, is a unique protective reaction of the patient's body. And there is an explanation for this. Firstly, this creates conditions unsuitable for the life and reproduction of microbes (and it is they that most often make food poor quality: staphylococci, salmonella, dysentery and E. coli, etc.). Secondly, at high temperatures, metabolism accelerates, sweating increases, and therefore the removal of toxins from the body contained in products and produced by bacteria during their life activity. But if the temperature rises above 38 degrees and has a bad effect on the patient's condition, it will have to be fought.

Treatment of poisoning at home must begin with gastric lavage, regardless of whether there are sorbents in the house. To do this, the person is given more than 1 liter of clean warm water, a light pink solution of potassium permanganate, a weak soda or salt solution to drink. Then, by pressing on the root of the tongue, vomiting is induced. The gag reflex is intended to naturally cleanse the stomach of harmful and toxic substances that have entered it, but alas, it does not always work, so it must be induced artificially.

True, after two or more hours, it is no longer advisable to wash the stomach. During this time, food has time to go down into the intestines and be partially absorbed into the blood, which will be evidenced by increased nausea, weakness and headaches.

After the stomach has been cleaned as much as possible, it is necessary to take enterosorbents, any available at home. This can be a popular budget option in the form of "Activated carbon" (at the rate of 1 tablet per 10 kg of weight), but in case of poisoning it is better to use a drug with a higher sorption capacity called "Polysorb", which is more than 100 times more effective than black or white coal.

This drug is considered a leader among enterosorbents, since it most effectively absorbs and removes toxins from the body that poison it. In addition, it is characterized by incredible speed of action, due to which the effect is noticeable from the first minutes after taking the medicine.

The fact that poisoning is often accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea indicates an active removal of water and electrolytes from the body. The need for fluid can be replenished by drinking plenty of fluids (however, this will be irrelevant in the case of painful vomiting), and the deficiency of microelements can be replenished with special drugs for dehydration (Hydrovit, Regidron, Re-sol, etc.). However, it makes sense to take tablets for poisoning and powders for oral administration if there is no vomiting or the urge to vomit is rare, otherwise intravenous infusion of rehydration solutions is indicated, which is usually carried out in a hospital setting.

What medications are recommended for poisoning with fever? If the temperature is relatively low (37.5-38 degrees), the same "Polysorb" can cope with its consequences, and there is no need for antipyretics. If the temperature continues to rise (and for a child, a fever of 38 degrees is already considered dangerous, while the critical indicator is 39.5 degrees), you cannot do without antipyretics.

The use of antipyretics in the form of Aspirin, Paracetamol, Nise and other drugs helps prevent a dangerous increase in blood viscosity and the associated excessive load on the cardiovascular system. In addition, it makes sense to stop the increase in temperature for another reason. While the temperature is rising, sweating, which is useful in poisoning, is practically absent; it resumes when the thermometer readings stabilize and drop. Increased sweating in combination with the sorption properties of Polysorb will help quickly cleanse the body of harmful substances that poison it.

Indications Polysorb for poisoning

As we can see, Polysorb is simply irreplaceable in case of poisoning. But is it worth keeping it in your home medicine cabinet at all times? How wide are the indications for its use? In what cases does the drug help relieve unpleasant symptoms of intoxication?

We know that in the treatment of food poisoning caused by poor-quality food or food spoiled during storage, the sorbent has a very good cleansing effect on the body. At the same time, it is actively prescribed for acute intestinal infections caused by enterobacteria (Escheria, Salmonella, Shigella, causing dysentery, typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, salmonellosis, Escherichia) and cholera vibrio. It is also effective for such a form of intestinal infection as food toxicoinfections, the cause of which are products contaminated with opportunistic microflora that secrete exotoxins: staphylococci, E. coli, bacilli, enterococci, etc.

Polysorb is also used if abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting are caused not by an infection, but by poisons contained in food products, for example, in case of mushroom poisoning, which mostly affects children. After all, poisoning in a child can be caused by a very small number of inedible mushrooms or by the abuse of edible ones. In the latter case, the baby's stomach simply stops working and fermentation processes begin in the gastrointestinal tract, ending in pain in the epigastrium and diarrhea.

Ethanol in large quantities can also be considered a poison for the body, it is not for nothing that alcohol lovers and teenagers often end up in hospital with alcohol intoxication. "Polysorb" in case of alcohol poisoning will help quickly remove the alcohol breakdown products that poison a person, which are considered quite toxic, and alleviate the painful symptoms of intoxication.

Enterosorbents are considered to be quite safe, but other medications may not be so harmless and may even cause poisoning. Even such popular medications as Analgin, Paracetamol or Acetylsalicylic acid, if there is increased sensitivity to them or high doses are taken, can cause symptoms of intoxication: diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, as well as a drop in body temperature and blood pressure, shortness of breath, renal colic, allergic reactions.

Cardiac glycosides, sulfonamides, fluoroquinolone antibiotics and some others are considered quite toxic, so they should be taken strictly in the recommended dosage and only as prescribed by a doctor. In case of poisoning with any medications, salts of heavy metals, pesticides, chemicals, Polysorb will help remove harmful toxins from the body and reduce unpleasant and even dangerous symptoms of intoxication.

The drug is prescribed regardless of whether food poisoning is diagnosed in adults or children. Only the recommended dosage changes, and the effectiveness of the drug depends on compliance with it. At the same time, the effectiveness of the drug has been confirmed for both acute and chronic intoxication, if poisonous and toxic substances have entered the body over a long period of time and accumulated in it.

Doctors prescribe the drug "Polysorb" not only for food, alcohol or drug poisoning, but also for diseases due to which toxins can accumulate in the body. For example, for allergies caused by food and drugs, viral hepatitis, dysbacteriosis, renal failure, purulent and septic pathologies.

Thus, in case of severe kidney damage, toxic nitrogen compounds accumulate in the blood, in hepatitis - the bilirubin level increases, in dysbacteriosis - poisoning occurs with the waste products of pathogens, and in the case of allergies, intoxication and all the symptoms associated with it are provoked by an allergen and unfavorable environmental conditions. In any case, the content of toxins in the body after taking Polysorb decreases, the organs suffer less and the person feels much better.

Release form

The drug "Polysorb", recommended by doctors for poisoning and intoxication, is produced by the pharmaceutical industry in the form of a rich white powder, from which an oral suspension is subsequently prepared. The light white powder has no pronounced odor and is small particles of highly dispersed silica (no more than 90 microns).

Silica or silicon dioxide is one of the most common silicon compounds, which is present in the body in small quantities and is very useful for connective tissue, organs of vision, heart, teeth, bones, skin. But when treating poisoning, the high sorption capacity of the mineral comes to the fore, i.e. the ability to quickly and in large quantities absorb harmful substances in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract that poison the body.

A fluffy white powder that mixes easily in water to form a white liquid, packaged in paper bags with a thermal layer for ease of use. 1 bag may contain 1, 2, 3, 6, 10 or 12 g of silica powder.

The bags are placed in cardboard boxes. The drug packaging may contain from 1 to 5 disposable bags. There are also larger forms of release with 10, 30, 50 and 100 bags. Any packaging contains instructions for use of the drug.

For hospitals, special polyethylene bags in cardboard packaging are produced, which contain 50 g of powder, as well as polyethylene bags of 5 and 10 kg of silica.

Additionally, Polysorb can be found in a package in the form of a plastic jar with a screw cap. Such a jar can contain from 12 to 50 g of silicon dioxide powder (with an interval of 3-5 g). This form of release can be purchased for home use, but in this case the dose will have to be measured out with a spoon.

[ 6 ], [ 7 ]

Pharmacodynamics

Enterosorbent "Polysorb" has not been so widely used in medical practice for nothing, because its sorption and detoxifying abilities can only be envied. Its pharmacodynamics are based on the fact that when silica particles enter the stomach and then the intestines orally, they bind and remove from the body any toxic substances that are formed inside it (endogenous) and that have entered the gastrointestinal tract from the outside (exogenous poisons and toxins).

Most often, the cause of poisoning is opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms. Bacteria and their waste products poison the victim's body. In case of poisoning and intoxication, "Polysorb" is capable of absorbing toxic substances produced by microbes and even microbial cells themselves, as well as food allergens, antigens that provoke the production of antibodies and inflammatory reactions, toxic substances of drugs and alcohol, and various poisons. Heavy metal compounds and radionuclides that penetrate the body from the outside and cause exogenous intoxication are no exception.

Thus, some metabolic products may be harmful to the body if they are found in high concentrations. We are talking about bilirubin, cholesterol and lipid compounds, urea and some metabolites that are a by-product of metabolic reactions. Fine silica powder absorbs these components like a sponge and removes them along with feces.

[ 8 ]

Pharmacokinetics

The pharmacokinetics of the drug are not of particular interest, since silicon dioxide powder is not able to be absorbed into the bloodstream in the gastrointestinal tract and spread throughout the body in a hepatogenic way. It acts exclusively in the lumen of the digestive system: the stomach and intestines, from where it is excreted unchanged in the feces along with absorbed toxins and harmful substances.

An important feature of drugs is their speed of action, because the faster the drug begins to act, the more harmful substances will not be able to penetrate the blood and affect the functioning of organs and systems. When does Polysorb begin to act? Thanks to the convenient form of release in the form of a fine powder, which does not require time to dissolve the tablets and their shell, the drug begins to act literally from the second or third minute after the suspension enters the gastrointestinal tract. These are very good indicators, incomparable with the action of the previously popular Activated Carbon, produced in the form of tablets.

[ 9 ], [ 10 ], [ 11 ], [ 12 ]

Dosing and administration

The drug "Polysorb" is available only in powder form, but in case of poisoning, allergies, infectious diseases it cannot be used in dry form. It will be necessary to prepare a suspension from the powder by mixing it with a sufficient amount of purified or boiled water. Depending on the amount of powder used, take from 30 to 150 ml of water.

Although there have been no reports of drug overdoses, there are recommended doses that depend on a person's age and weight. To avoid making a mistake, you need to know at least the approximate weight of the victim, regardless of whether it is an adult or a child.

The aqueous solution should be prepared immediately before taking it. You can eat food and take other medications no earlier than an hour after taking the sorbent.

The instructions describe the preparation of the "Polysorb" solution based on powder not packaged in disposable bags. A teaspoon or tablespoon is used as a measuring instrument.

For children weighing up to 20 kg, the solution is prepared using 30-50 ml of water (1/5-1/4 cup). For children up to 10 kg, half to one and a half teaspoons of powder can be added to the specified amount of water. The resulting solution is given to the child to drink little by little throughout the day.

Children whose weight is between 10 and 20 kg should take the suspension 3-4 times a day. In a quarter of a glass, dilute 1 teaspoon of powder (without a slide). This will be a single dose that the child should take in one go.

Children and adolescents weighing up to 30 kg take 1 teaspoon of powder at a time, but with a slide. It is recommended to dilute this amount of the preparation in 50-70 ml of water.

Teenagers whose weight is between 30-40 kg should take 2 teaspoons of the preparation (also with a slide), diluted in half a glass of water.

For adults whose body weight does not exceed 60 kg, 1 heaped tablespoon is diluted in ½ glass of water, and for those whose weight is even greater, the dose is 1-2 tablespoons. You can take up to 150 ml of water.

To understand how to use powder in disposable sachets, you need to know that the weight of powder in 1 heaped teaspoon is 1 g, and in a tablespoon (also heaped) - about 3 g. The maximum daily dose for an adult is 20 g (about 7 tablespoons).

Regardless of the form of release, the drug is taken 3 to 4 times a day. In case of poisoning, this should be done an hour before eating, and in case of food allergies, immediately before starting to eat. The course of treatment for acute poisoning is short - up to 5 days. But chronic intoxication and food allergies require a longer course of medication (1.5-2 weeks).

[ 17 ], [ 18 ]

Features of the use of sorbent in poisoning and intestinal infections

In case of acute poisoning, the sorbent can also be used to wash the stomach. To do this, 5-10 g of the preparation is mixed in 1 liter of warm water, drunk and after a couple of minutes, vomiting is induced by irritating the root of the tongue. Severe poisoning requires washing the stomach for 24 hours using a probe (in a hospital setting) at intervals of 4-5 hours with a solution of the same concentration. Additionally, the patient is given the preparation up to 3 times a day at a dosage of 0.1 mg per kilogram of the victim's weight.

For intestinal infections, the entire daily dose is used on the first day of illness, which must be taken in 4-5 doses over 5 hours. The next day, the drug is taken according to standard recommendations during the day in 4 doses.

[ 19 ], [ 20 ], [ 21 ], [ 22 ]

Application for children

A child's body is more susceptible to negative environmental factors than an adult's. The developing immune system is not yet able to fully resist infections, and the digestive system cannot effectively digest coarse food, which often causes gastrointestinal disorders and food poisoning.

Intestinal infections and the use of toxic substances are very dangerous for a small child. The baby's weight is still very small, so it requires much less poison and toxins to poison him. It is not surprising that such diseases in children are severe and with an increase in body temperature, while adults are limited to nausea and diarrhea.

Doctors can prescribe Polysorb to babies not only for diarrhea, stomach upset and poisoning, but also for allergic reactions (for example, with diathesis), infectious diseases (even as part of a complex treatment for colds), dysbacteriosis against the background of antibacterial treatment or prolonged diarrhea. By removing toxins from the body and normalizing the intestinal microflora, the drug thereby helps maintain a strong immune system in the child and the body's resistance to various diseases.

The drug has no age restrictions, so it can be given to newborns from a bottle already in the first days of the baby's life, if necessary. It must be said that today there are not so many absolutely safe, effective and fast-acting drugs that could be given to children without fear.

[ 23 ]

Use Polysorb for poisoning during pregnancy

It should be said right away that pregnancy and lactation are not contraindications to the use of the drug "Polysorb" in case of poisoning. On the contrary, taking a safe natural drug that reduces the symptoms of intoxication in a short time is indicated for expectant mothers not only with stomach problems caused by the use of poor-quality food or drugs, but also with such a misfortune of many pregnant women as toxicosis.

The drug itself does not penetrate into the blood and does not cause reactions related to this, but enveloping the walls of the stomach and intestines, it attracts harmful substances from the cavity of the organs, blood, lymph, intercellular fluid. Such cleansing of the body is simply necessary in case of poisoning, intestinal infections and intoxication (and toxicosis in the early and late stages of pregnancy can be considered as a variant of intoxication provoked by the restructuring of the body of the expectant mother, which perceives the waste products of the fetus as foreign substances harmful to it).

Doctors are not afraid to prescribe the drug to women in early or late pregnancy, understanding that it cannot harm either the mother or the child in her womb. On the contrary, it will remove toxic substances from the mother's body, which can penetrate the placenta through the blood and to the child, poisoning it and causing various developmental pathologies. Any poisoning and allergic reactions during pregnancy are considered especially dangerous from the point of view of the health of the growing organism.

Polysorb is no less useful during lactation. The drug does not penetrate into breast milk, which means it cannot get into the child's body (although there is nothing wrong with that). But all sorts of toxic substances from the mother's body easily penetrate into such an important product for baby food, which reach high concentrations in cases of poisoning.

"Polysorb" in case of poisoning helps to reduce the absorption of toxins into the blood and reduce their concentration in any physiological fluids, including breast milk. This will protect the child from real harm and will help not to stop breastfeeding during the illness, which is so necessary for maintaining a strong immunity in the baby.

Contraindications

"Polysorb", used for poisoning and diseases that cause intoxication of the body, is considered a completely safe sorbent on a natural basis. Silicon itself is not dangerous, not toxic, but on the contrary, even useful for humans. It is clear that in such conditions only an excess or deficiency of the mineral in the body can cause harm.

Silicon deficiency in the human body and its consequences is a topic for a separate article. And there is no need to talk about excess associated with the use of Polysorb, or so-called overdose, because the powder is excreted from the body in the same amount in which it was introduced. This happens due to the fact that silica cannot be absorbed in the stomach and intestines, and therefore does not penetrate into the blood when taken orally.

However, there are still some contraindications to the use of the drug. These are:

• ulcerative lesions of the stomach and intestines in the acute period of the disease (during remission, the use of the drug is not prohibited, but must be agreed with a gastroenterologist),
• gastrointestinal bleeding,
• atony and obstruction of the intestines (for detoxification, the drug must be excreted from the body along with feces, but with weak intestinal activity, the concentrated toxic mass will remain in the body, in no way contributing to recovery),
• hypersensitivity to silicon compounds (a rare phenomenon, which, however, cannot be ruled out).

In other cases, a person can, if necessary, use the unique ability of the drug to remove toxic substances in a larger volume than the amount of silica introduced. Sometimes the drug is even prescribed for the prevention of intoxication in hazardous industries.

[ 13 ], [ 14 ]

Side effects Polysorb for poisoning

It is not for nothing that the drug "Polysorb" is considered a safe medicine for poisoning, because even the appearance of side effects from its use is observed extremely rarely. In most cases, we are talking about allergic reactions observed in individual episodes of intolerance to the components of the drug, more precisely silicon dioxide.

Among the patients' complaints were also the appearance of dyspeptic symptoms (pain and discomfort in the epigastrium, a feeling of fullness in the stomach, nausea, bloating, belching) and constipation. However, when it comes to poisoning, it is difficult to say what caused the symptoms of dyspepsia: the use of stale products and poisons or treatment with an enterosorbent.

The information that some patients start vomiting from Polysorb is also not supported by anything. After all, the powder has no smell and can taste like starch, so it is unlikely that a strong aversion to it could occur. Most likely, vomiting was one of the symptoms of poisoning, but its onset coincided with taking the medication.

But the fact that with prolonged use of enterosorbent, the absorption of calcium and vitamins in the body may be disrupted, which leads to a deficiency of substances necessary for a person, is confirmed by both the manufacturers of the drug and the doctors who recommend it. We are talking about therapy for 2 weeks or more, which rarely happens in cases of poisoning. Nevertheless, to maintain the necessary concentration of calcium and vitamins in the body with more than two weeks of therapy, prophylactic intake of vitamin products and drugs such as "Calcium D3", "Calcemin", dietary supplements with calcium is recommended.

[ 15 ], [ 16 ]

Interactions with other drugs

When taking an enterosorbent, you need to consider its interaction with other drugs. It is not for nothing that the suspension is recommended to be taken an hour before taking other drugs, because it can reduce their absorption, creating a kind of shell on the walls of the gastrointestinal tract. Accordingly, the effectiveness of drug treatment is reduced.

[ 24 ], [ 25 ], [ 26 ]

Storage conditions

But in order for the preparation to retain its beneficial properties for the entire period indicated on the package, it is necessary to observe its storage conditions. The preparation is well stored at temperatures up to 25 degrees. It is necessary to avoid moisture getting into the powder, so the package should always be tightly closed (fine silica has the ability to attract moisture). The finished suspension can be stored for no more than 2 days, but it is better not to prepare it for future use.

[ 27 ]

Shelf life

A very important point in terms of therapy safety is to take into account the expiration date of the drugs. In this case, it is 5 years for all forms of the sorbent "Polysorb", after which, according to the instructions, it is considered unsuitable for use for therapeutic purposes in poisoning and other diseases.

[ 28 ]

Analogues of the drug "Polysorb" for poisoning

If earlier, when poisoned, our parents, grandparents took mainly activated carbon (after all, there were no other effective sorbents at that time), now the list of such drugs is quite wide. And there are no problems with their acquisition today. In any pharmacy you can buy an enterosorbent to your taste and wallet. However, it should be taken into account that the composition of such drugs can differ significantly.

Since various materials have sorption properties, from which a medicine safe for humans can be made, modern enterosorbents can be divided into several groups:

• Carbon. These are preparations that use derivatives of activated carbon. The most popular preparation of this class is "Activated carbon" in tablet form. The preparation "Carbolong" is activated carbon in powder form. Such preparations with a characteristic black color scare children, so it is not surprising if the baby simply does not want to take it. The sorption properties of carbon sorbents are not so great, so they are more recommended for mild poisoning and diarrhea.

"Activated carbon" is recommended to be taken in a dosage corresponding to 1 tablet per 10 kg of the patient's body weight. A single dose for poisoning is about 20-30 g. Tablets dissolved in water can also be used for gastric lavage.

"Carbolong" is taken in dry form or a suspension is prepared (5 g of powder per half a glass of water). Adult patients take 5-10 g of the drug three times a day. A single dose for children is 2.5-5 g. It is prescribed from the age of 7.

A disadvantage of carbon sorbents is their ability to provoke intestinal disorders: diarrhea or constipation.

• Silicon. This group of drugs includes "Polysorb", recommended for poisoning. The list of such drugs also includes the popular "Smecta", "White clay", "Enterosgel". When choosing between these analogous drugs, it is difficult to say which is better, because they all contain silicon compounds with high sorption properties.

All preparations of this group have a selective effect, i.e. they remove harmful substances (bacteria, toxins, decay products, etc.) without touching vitamins, enzymes, and food ingredients that are useful for the body. And they have an enveloping effect. They create a protective film on the walls of the gastrointestinal tract, which also reduces the aggressive effect of hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice.

When choosing between Smecta, Polysorb or Enterosgel, you need to focus on the form of release of the sorbents. The first two are released in powder form and require dilution in water taking into account the recommended dosage. Enterosgel is a ready-to-use drug. It is simply squeezed into a spoon and washed down with water.

But there is a small nuance. "Polysorb" is a fine powder of silicon dioxide, which can cause injury to the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines damaged by inflammatory and erosive diseases, so its contraindications include acute gastric ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding. The drugs "Smecta" and "Enterosgel" do not have such contraindications. They are considered to act more gently, so they are recommended even for patients with diseases of the digestive system, with the exception of intestinal obstruction or its atony.

• Organic. These are preparations based on natural substances: pectins, lignin, cellulose, dietary fiber, which can also remove poisons, toxins, harmful microorganisms, food allergens, heavy metal salts and toxic chemicals from the body. However, in case of food poisoning, they have become less popular than silicon and carbon sorbents. Among the popular preparations of this group, it is worth highlighting "Polyphepan" based on plant lignin, which is recommended for intoxications, as well as for prophylactic cleansing of the body.
• Combined. These are multi-component preparations that contain 2 or more substances with sorption properties. Such sorbents include "Bionorm" based on plant components and "Ultrasorb", which combines the properties of activated carbon and a clay mineral called palygorskite.

Despite the fact that only silicon-containing sorbents should be considered complete analogues of the drug "Polysorb", in case of poisoning, when you need to act quickly to stop the intoxication, you often have no choice. Any of the above sorbents is quite suitable for providing first aid to the victim. In the future, you can choose drugs with a larger or smaller sorption volume, convenient forms of release, a more pleasant price, etc.

[ 29 ], [ 30 ]

Reviews of the drug "Polysorb"

It should be said that the drug "Polysorb" is one of the few drugs, positive reviews of which significantly prevail over negative ones. Especially when it comes to the use of the sorbent in case of poisoning. We will not go into details of the fact that this drug is actively used by people to eliminate hangovers (excellent results), reduce lymph nodes in lymphadenopathies (and very successfully), get rid of acne (mediocre effect), clean teeth and improve hair health (the best reviews: effective and safe). Let's talk about the moments concerning the use of "Polysorb" in case of poisoning.

According to many reviews, this drug very quickly helps to relieve almost all unpleasant symptoms of intoxication: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, headaches. At the same time, the suspension has a much more attractive appearance and taste. Than activated carbon diluted in water. In principle, the liquid has virtually no taste, so children perceive it as whitish water and problems with the use of the drug usually do not arise.

Silicon powder acts much faster than activated carbon and organic substances. Relief comes surprisingly quickly, which can also be attributed to the positive aspects of the sorbent. The patient feels noticeable relief from the first minutes of taking it, and the drug continues to cleanse his body and restore normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and other organs. As a result, we get fast and quite pleasant treatment.

The advantage of using Polysorb is its safety for children and pregnant women. Powder diluted with water can be given to newborns from the first days of their life, and before that, its mother can calmly, without any particular fears, take it to combat the manifestations of toxicosis. By the way, many women at different stages of pregnancy were saved from nausea with this drug, which prevented them from eating and living normally.

Living in the conditions of modern civilization today is incredibly dangerous. We often do not even suspect that our body is poisoned daily, receiving toxic substances from the air, food, water. And even if you drink purified water and very carefully choose the products for the table, it is very difficult to protect yourself from radiation and polluted air in urban conditions. Therefore, when we begin to get sick often, feel very tired and have decreased performance, our memory begins to fail, causeless gastrointestinal disorders, nausea, headaches appear, it is time to think that the cause of such a condition could be chronic intoxication, the treatment of which can also be entrusted to the drug "Polysorb".

Many people perceive body cleansing procedures as a way to lose weight, which is rather dubious in itself. But the main thing is that it is an opportunity to cleanse your body of harmful toxins, thereby restoring your well-being and health.

It is not worth using Polysorb regularly for these purposes. According to reviews, using the drug for more than 2 weeks, prescribed for the treatment of chronic intoxication, can indeed lead to vitamin deficiency. Therefore, abuse will only be harmful. But a 1-2 week course of body cleansing in our ecologically difficult living conditions will not hurt. After it, many note the disappearance of symptoms of malaise, an improvement in mood, a feeling of lightness throughout the body.

But let's return to the treatment of acute poisoning. Some patients note that treatment with the drug can lead to constipation. In conditions of painful diarrhea, this moment will only be a benefit. But if there is no diarrhea, but there is a tendency to constipation, it is better to find a safer drug, or subsequently restore intestinal functionality with laxatives.

"Polysorb" for poisoning is an effective fast-acting enterosorbent intended for the treatment of adults and children. Due to its fast and good effect, as well as a fairly wide range of applications, it is very popular with doctors and patients. Convenient forms of release, affordable price and decent effect are the main advantages of the drug, allowing it to remain among the leaders for a long time and help people in various situations.
