Environmental pollution can have a negative impact on both the person as a whole and the chemical composition of food. No one is safe from food poisoning. In addition, our body gradually accumulates toxins and needs timely cleansing. In this regard, there is a need to acquire an effective tool that would help to cope well with such problems and not cause harm to health. Among the many drugs, the pharmacological product Enterosgel can be distinguished, reviews of which will be considered in this article.
General information
As a result of painstaking research by pharmaceutical scientists, a new drug was developed that can actively absorb toxic compounds in the body. In pharmacies, it is found in the form of gel and paste. Both forms are intended for oral use and have similar effects. They have no pronounced smell and taste.
It is worth noting immediately that the paste "Enterosgel" according to people's reviews is more popular than gel. This is a homogeneous suspension, which is a porous sponge (organosilicon matrix). It cleanses the human body from metabolites having an average molecular weight. The paste is packaged in tubes.
The gel is available in the form of a jelly-like consistency with lumps of various sizes. It is quite moist, has a white color. Placed in jars.
There is a more convenient packaging, designed for a one-time reception. The medicine bag can be put in a small bag in case of need. This exempts, for example, from having to take with him a voluminous jar of gel.
Benefits
There are many effective enterosorbents on the pharmaceutical market. However, we can safely say, based on the feedback of doctors: “Enterosgel” is a unique drug of its kind, characterized by a special bioorganic structure. While other means that cleanse the body of toxins, along with this, they can also absorb the substances that are useful to the patient, the medicine in question, only absorbs harmful molecular compounds. As mentioned above, the point is in their mass and pore size of the inert active component that correspond to them. Medium molecular metabolites include toxins of both endogenous and exogenous origin, as well as various allergens and antigens. Due to the selective activity of the drug, the necessary reserve of mineral components and vitamins is preserved in the body.
According to the instructions and reviews, “Enterosgel”, unlike activated carbon, is not layered on the walls of the digestive system. This means that its prolonged use will not damage the cells of the stomach and intestines. Moreover, enterosorbent is non-toxic and has virtually no contraindications.
Structure
The main substance of the gel is polymethylsiloxane polyhydrate (70%). A porous chemical compound is a derivative of silicon. The dosage form of the paste contains purified water, which is 30% of the total volume, as an additional component. To give a light taste, the manufacturer added sweeteners, which is confirmed by Enterosgel reviews. However, special additives in the taste do not produce auxiliary additives. When this drug is prescribed for children, doctors recommend a little dilute it with sweet liquids.
Act
Sorbent, superior to carbon products, significantly alleviates the symptoms of intestinal infections. According to reviews, the use of Enterosgel accelerates the process of regression of pronounced symptoms during the period of endotoxication. It inhibits the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms in patients suffering from salmonellosis. Although, basically, the drug has detoxifying and adsorbing effects, in fact it has a wider range of actions and most of them are clinically confirmed.
Among specialists and their patients, the drug is known as a universal remedy. It perfectly cleanses the intestines, removes allergens from the body, greatly facilitates the condition of people who often have to come into contact with harmful substances that provoke chronic intoxication. Pasta is an effective product in the fight against extra pounds. Some managed to use a gel to cleanse the face and even get rid of acne. Further we will talk about the prevailing opinion of people about these methods, since this article is based on reviews. Instructions for use of Enterosgel and analogues can be found below.
Pharmacodynamics
Absorbing toxins, the paste (gel) easily passes through the digestive tract, without taking part in the synthesis. Capturing metabolites, the sorbent is successfully excreted from the body with waste products. The tool copes with its functions during the day. After removing harmful substances from the digestive system, the beneficial intestinal microflora is restored.
Since intoxication is a very dangerous phenomenon and is fraught with consequences, drugs of a similar action are expected to act quickly. It is this effect that the manufacturer of Enterosgel promises in the instructions. Reviews of many patients show that a positive reaction in the body occurs within a few hours. It easily copes with acute conditions in cases of poisoning and severe allergic reactions.
Indications
The drug is prescribed for various pathologies with the predominant localization of toxins in the free space of the intestine. Such conditions are always accompanied by severe intoxication of the body. Indications for the use of Enterosgel are:
- chronic and acute diarrhea with any nature of origin;
- irritable bowel syndrome;
- food poisoning of different nature;
- chronic liver disease and renal failure;
- intoxication resulting from the use of alcohol and drugs;
- skin lesions (eczema, atopic dermatitis, acne vulgaris);
- acute and chronic urticaria;
- food allergy;
- toxicosis during pregnancy;
The medicine is often prescribed for violations of the microflora in the intestines and for preventive purposes. It is recommended for people living in regions with high levels of air pollution and working in harmful industrial enterprises. Especially for those who come in contact with health-hazardous compounds such as lead, arsenic, and mercury.
Contraindications and side effects
A remedy of high quality has few contraindications, but still there are some. These include:
- intestinal atony;
- individual intolerance to the active substance polymethylsiloxane polyhydrate;
- bowel obstruction.
Enterosgel with sweet additives is not recommended for use during lactation, pregnancy and young children.
In some patients, the drug may cause constipation. To prevent such phenomena, from the first days of treatment it is necessary to take laxatives along with the gel, for example, “Lactulose”.
If the poisoning has occurred due to contact with caustic acids or alkalis, it is impossible to treat with paste (gel).
Application
According to the instructions for use of Enterosgel and reviews, the paste is either diluted in liquids or taken orally in pure form, washed down with water. The medicine is consumed three times a day 30-60 minutes before a meal in accordance with the recommended doses. In ½ cup of purified or boiled water, 1, 5 tablespoons (or 1 packet) of the gel is diluted.
Teens are prescribed 1 tablespoon in the morning, at lunch and in the evening. For babies, the dose is divided into two parts and given 2 times a day.
In severe intoxication and acute infections, the norm of the drug is doubled. As the patient recovers, it is gradually reduced to standard. To consolidate the effect, the paste is continued to be consumed for several days after the disappearance of the painful symptoms.
Sometimes the doctor can set individual doses and prescribe a repeated therapeutic course. The duration of treatment for chronic conditions can last from 30 to 45 days, with poisoning - from 7 to 10.
The gel can be used by pregnant women and given to infants.
Body cleansing
Due to the deteriorating ecology, the human body is not able to independently neutralize toxins and bring them out. An excess of harmful substances leads to a disruption in the processes of metabolism, allergies, and cancer. That is why various purification techniques have become popular lately. According to doctors, "Enterosgel" with an integrated approach gives positive results. In addition, it is classified as the safest means that do not cause side effects. In order to conduct a high-quality cleaning of toxins, along with the use of paste, you need to follow some useful tips:
- A balanced diet, including foods rich in fiber, which helps to eliminate toxins from the intestines.
- Regular consumption of large amounts of water. By activating the kidneys, drinking plenty of fluids helps flush out harmful accumulations from tissues and blood.
- Mobile lifestyle and sports. Increased sweating eliminates subcutaneous toxins.
There is still interesting information that can be read in the reviews. Enterosgel for cleansing is used in combination with licorice. In this way, toxins and toxins from lymph can be eliminated. This system is responsible for removing toxic metabolites from tissues and strengthening immunity, and when its channels become clogged, it is no longer able to perform the functions assigned to it.
If you approach this issue seriously, then within 14 days you can cleanse the lymph nodes and improve the condition of the body as a whole. To do this, you will need to purchase ready-made licorice syrup in a pharmacy. Wellness products should be taken in the morning - 1 tablespoon with an interval of half an hour.
Allergy treatment
The need for the use of therapeutic paste for allergies arises from the fact that it is urgently necessary to stop the destruction of the intestinal mucosa by toxic substances. Typically, such conditions are accompanied by disturbances in the digestive system, as a result of which there is a rapid accumulation of waste products of pathogenic microbes and the body produces antibodies.
There are a lot of positive reviews about the stabilization of the condition after treatment with Enterosgel for allergies. Quite quickly, the condition normalizes in children suffering from bronchial asthma. Improvements in such patients were observed already on the third day. In particular, this was expressed in the complete restoration of breathing.
With proper use, the product successfully eliminates fresh lesions in eczema. The treatment process is much faster and after a week the rashes become almost invisible.
Allergic dermatoses accompanied by defecation disorder and bloating occur on the 5th day after treatment with paste.
Using the gel, prolongation of remission in patients with atopic dermatitis can be achieved.
Face cleaning
The drug also finds its application in cosmetology. Some young people practice using Enterosgel for the face. Reviews suggest that it helps to get rid of acne. The expected result occurs with the simultaneous use of the gel inside and as an external agent.
Every day (morning and evening) a mask of paste or gel is applied to the face. Before the procedure, the skin should be thoroughly cleaned with a decoction of chamomile. Inside, you need to take the medicine in a therapeutic dose for 10 days.
People with problem skin need to have their face cleansed every month. For preventive purposes, such procedures can be limited to two times a year.
Analogs
Judging by the reviews, Enterosgel is an indispensable tool. I would like to note that an identical drug simply does not exist. However, it is not always possible to purchase this rather inexpensive drug. Therefore, it will be appropriate to consider analogues of Enterosgel. Reviews of these sorbents are also good. Here is some of them:
- Activated carbon. A long-known remedy, characterized by affordable cost. It has a high sorption activity, prevents the absorption of toxins, alkaloids, salts of heavy metals and glycosides from the gastrointestinal tract. It is prescribed for flatulence, poisoning and salmonellosis. Often it is used before endoscopic examinations to reduce gas formation. With prolonged use causes side effects.
- "Lactofiltrum". With complex therapy, the drug has the ability to suppress pathogenic microflora. At the same time, useful lactobacilli remain, which contributes to a quick recovery. The medicine is prescribed for hepatitis, allergies and irritable bowel syndrome.
- Smecta. A common sorbent, the basis of which is medical clay. This remedy is prescribed for women with breastfeeding and they also treat babies. But it is relatively not cheap.
Reviews
Summing up the reviews, we can note only the only minus of the new generation of the drug - not a very pleasant taste, because of which some patients refuse to take it. However, in general, reviews about Enterosgel are wonderful. Perhaps for some it was a discovery that the product can be used for cosmetic purposes and it is really effective in this regard. Confidence in this drug is also increasing because medical professionals respond positively to it.
Conclusion
Having considered a lot of positive reviews, cleaning with Enterosgel can be done safely. The main thing is that the product is absolutely safe and has a very wide list of indications. However, like any medicine, a doctor should prescribe it.
