Tablets from alcohol poisoning

To begin with, we will clarify what alcohol poisoning is and why it is necessary to take tablets against alcohol poisoning.

Excessive doses of alcohol are detrimental to the human body. The process of cleavage of ethyl determines a strong toxic load on the functional activity of internal organs. In other words, a person received alcohol poisoning.

The consequence of this intoxication is a hangover syndrome. The hangover appears due to the fact that the body can not quickly get rid of the toxic substances that have arrived. To get out of this condition, you need to help the body to utilize toxins. In this situation, tablets from alcohol poisoning, divided into 2 groups, will help. The first type includes adsorptive medications. The second type includes medicines for symptomatic action.

It should be noted that adsorbents should be taken about 1 hour before drinking alcohol. This is due to the fact that the absorption of ethanol into the blood occurs quickly enough. For this reason, the sorbent does not have time to fulfill its medical mission. It will be more expedient to classify these medications as a preventative series.

Symptomatic drugs are aimed at removing unfavorable symptoms of hangover syndrome. And also significantly reduce the negative impact of a hangover on the patient's well-being.

Activated carbon

Pharmacodynamics:

Specially treated coal of vegetable or animal origin. Has high surface activity. It has the properties to absorb (adsorb) harmful substances (toxins), gases, as well as salts of heavy metals, synthetic and natural alkaloids, hypnotics, poisons, phenol derivatives, glycosides, hydrocyanic acid, etc.

Indications for the use of activated carbon:

1. Intoxications manifested in the form of dyspepsia, flatulence (swelling of the intestine), diarrhea, heartburn.
2. Exacerbations of allergic diseases of various etiologies.
3. Diseases of digestive organs of infectious origin (dysentery, salmonellosis).
4. Poisoning by medicines, poor-quality food and toxic metals.
5. Hepatitis.
6. Intoxication caused by psychotropic or narcotic substances, as well as alcoholic substances.

Methods of application and dosage:

At any poisoning 25g of activated carbon is prescribed as a suspension (pound the tablets and stir in boiled water at room temperature). A similar suspension is used in the gastric lavage procedure. In addition, when poisoning is prescribed a mixture in this proportion: 2 shares of activated carbon, 1 part of magnesium oxide and 1 share of tannin (2 tablespoons per glass of water). When manifesting flatulence or heartburn is taken 2g of activated charcoal, stirred in warm water.

Side effects when applied:

Taking activated charcoal can cause diarrhea or constipation, the development of a shortage of fats, vitamins and proteins. Due to the adsorbing properties of this drug reduces the effectiveness of the effects of other medicines.
