Nature has endowed the human body with the ability to resist pathogenic factors. However, even such a powerful system sometimes fails. The result is poisoning. The most common is food. Intoxications do not lag behind him with various poisons: chemicals, drugs. Enterosorbents are used to neutralize poisoning. Effective, but somewhat expensive, is the drug Enterosgel. Analogs are cheaper, we will consider them in more detail.
Action on the body
Before you choose a substitute analogue to Enterosgel, you need to understand what the drug is intended for.
The medicine has enterosorbing, enveloping, antidiarrheal and detoxification properties. Such an action is determined by its structure - a silicone matrix of a hydrophobic type. This composition allows excellent adsorption of toxic medium molecular metabolites.

- bacterial toxins;

In addition, the drug is able to sorb some excess substances of metabolic reactions:
- urea
- bilirubin;

- a number of metabolites.
As a result of this action, the patient stops dysbiosis and toxicosis, there is an improvement in the functioning of the liver, kidneys and intestines, and the functioning of the immune and hematopoietic systems is normalized. The medicine has an anti-inflammatory, regenerative effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa. Thus, it prevents the development of erosion.
In addition, the Enterosgel preparation is completely non-toxic and harmless. Analogs are cheaper than the original, we will talk about them later.

Lymph system cleaning
This is an important step to cleanse the entire body. After all, the lymphatic system promotes the removal of decay products, toxins, viruses, and microbes from the body. Immunity directly depends on her normal work. To improve the functioning of the lymphatic system, licorice and Enterosgel are used.
The human body contains various parasites, as well as bacteria, viruses and fungi. If immunity is weakened, an imbalance arises between parasitic microflora and protective properties. As a result, the patient begins to hurt. A weak organism is not able to cope with invasions, various pathogens. Live parasites begin to spread through the lymphatic system.
Immunity produces certain protective cells that fight this “invasion”. There are many decaying microorganisms, dead parasites. They clog the lymphatic system.
To cleanse it, it is recommended to use:
- Enterosgel preparation;
- licorice syrup.
To remove all toxins, the above funds should be taken on an empty stomach. Licorice syrup is an excellent lymphostimulator. And the medicine "Enterosgel" is an effective sorbent.
As a result of this effect, internal purification takes place, which also perfectly affects the patient’s appearance. The skin becomes clean, allergy goes away. In patients, blood pressure normalizes. In addition, cleansing the lymph helps get rid of chronic sinusitis, cough, thrush, arthritis.

- gel (225 g) - 470.95 rubles;
- paste (225 g) - 420.85 rubles.
The price is quite high. That is why many consumers are forced to look for Enterosgel analogues that are cheaper than this drug.
Let's consider some of them.
The main analogues
Do not forget to consult a doctor before choosing a substitute for Enterosgel. An analogue, or rather its effectiveness, will depend on the specific case and the reasons that provoked the pathology.
In addition, it is very dangerous to start an independent treatment, even with the slightest suspicion of an infectious disease or damage to the digestive tract.
The medicine "Smecta"
This is an excellent sorption drug. It allows you to remove the unpleasant symptoms of bloating. The medicine relieves the patient from heartburn. It is quite in demand in chronic diarrhea of various origins: allergic, drug, infectious.

What else can replace the Enterosgel preparation? Analogs in tablets also have a high degree of effectiveness. These drugs include activated carbon.
The tool has a pronounced detoxification and sorbing effect on the body. The drug is used as first aid for food poisoning, overeating, intestinal disorders in a mild form.
However, it should be remembered that the medication has contraindications. Its use is absolutely unacceptable in case of open gastrointestinal lesions, such as ulcers and intestinal bleeding.

Effective sorbents for children
Unfortunately, the body of crumbs is less resistant to the negative effects of a variety of pathogenic factors. Therefore, poisoning in babies is much more common than in the adult population. And the pathology is much harder.
Enterosorbents are widely demanded for poisoning. They practically have no contraindications, since it acts exclusively at the local level. However, one should not forget that each drug has its own characteristics.
What to do if Enterosgel is not suitable? Analogs for children will be great helpers in the fight against unpleasant symptoms. These drugs include:
- "Smecta";
- "Neosmectin" (suspension, powder);
- Polysorb MP;
- "Diosmectite";
- Polyphepan.
Such medicines are allowed to be taken even by babies.
Activated carbon does not have age restrictions, according to the instructions. However, pediatricians do not recommend using it for children under 7 years of age. This is due to the fact that of the above medicines, this tool has the least adsorption capacity. Another disadvantage of the drug is its indiscriminate effect. In other words, the product removes not only harmful toxins from the body, but also quite useful nutrients. In addition, the sorbent contains solid particles that can injure the intestinal wall.
Choosing analogues for children instead of Enterosgel, clinical signs of pathology should be taken into account. For example, in the case of severe diarrhea in a baby, the Smecta medicine will be most beneficial. In case of poisoning with a potent substance, it is advisable to use a drug characterized by a high adsorbing ability: Enterosgel or Polysorb MP.
Breasts are allowed to give any medication only after consulting a pediatrician!

It helps to treat diathesis, psoriasis. Its activity is noted in acute food poisoning. Often, Enterosgel is used to reduce the symptoms of a hangover.
