The drug "Polysorb" has long been used by many people. It is used to treat various ailments, calling it "first aid". But is Polysorb so effective? The reviews that are collected in the publication will tell about this. It will also be considered how and in what cases to take this tool.
Composition and properties
Buyers note that the drug is a light blue crystalline powder. He has no smell and taste. Judging by the reviews of doctors and the patients themselves, Polysorb has a much better sorption effect compared to activated carbon, Enterosgel, Smecta and other analogues.
The active and only substance in the composition of the product is colloidal silicon dioxide. After dissolving in water and ingestion, it starts to work like a sieve: it binds and removes all the harmful from the body, while not touching beneficial substances. Owing to such gentle action, many people prefer the Polysorb cleaning (reviews prove this). Also, the drug does not interfere with the absorption of minerals, vitamins and other useful substances, and even, on the contrary, increases their absorption by the body.
Release form
As practice shows, today the medicine is released in only one form - in the form of a powder. It must be diluted in water to prepare a suspension for oral administration. Polysorb is sold in 3 gram sachets, which is equal to a single dosage for an adult. There is also powder in plastic jars of 12, 25 and 50 grams. Such packaging options allow you to purchase the necessary amount of medicine.
Indications for use
Buyers tell us in their reviews what Polysorb helps. It can be taken in the following cases:

This can be easily avoided if you drink 2-3 liters of water per day during the period of use of the drug.
