If a toxic substance enters the body, then it triggers self-purification mechanisms. They come down to developing diarrhea and vomiting. If the intoxication is strong, and the immune system is weak, then the body needs help to cope with the problem. In this case, you can use the drug Enterosgel.
About the preparation
Enterosgel is an adsorbent that works like a sponge. Once in the digestive tract, it absorbs harmful substances and brings them out.
Enterosgel has the ability to adsorb the following pathogens:
Food allergens and toxins.
Bacteria and their metabolic products.
Poisons.
medicinal substances.
Alcohols.
Salts of heavy metals.
Excess bilirubin, urea and cholesterol.
The drug, having collected all unnecessary, leaves the intestines in a natural way. It is not absorbed into the blood and does not have a systemic effect on the body. At the same time, the drug does not absorb vitamins and trace elements that a person needs for normal life. Taking Enterosgel allows you to normalize the work of the digestive system as a whole.
The basis of the drug is a substance called polymethylsiloxane polyhydrate. This polymer, like a sponge, absorbs all the toxins in the intestines.
The drug is available in the form of a gel or sweet paste. The paste can be found in a dosage of 15, 45 or 225 g. It has the form of a thin suspension of 30% water. In fact, it is a molecular sponge that absorbs medium molecular toxins. The metabolites absorbed by it have a molecular weight of 70 to 1000.
There is no smell from the drug. Its color varies from pure white to white. The gel can be found in sachets with a dosage of 22.5, 45 or 225 g. The gel looks like jelly. It contains small transparent lumps. The gel has no taste or smell. The main active ingredient in the gel and in the paste is identical – it is polymethylsiloxane polyhydrate. The main difference between the paste and the gel is its sweetish taste and white color.
The drug
Enterosgel is rightfully recognized as a new generation drug. It works differently than its predecessors. Habitual sorbents, such as activated carbon, together with harmful substances, remove useful microelements and vitamins from the body. Enterosgel absorbs only toxins, toxic substances, preventing them from getting into the blood.
Therapeutic effects of Enterosgel:
Removal of toxins from the body.
Decreased intestinal motility, stop diarrhea.
Purification of the body from toxic substances.
Bowel cleansing without penetration of the drug into the blood.
Removal of excess bilirubin, lipids and cholesterol from the body.
Removal from the body of allergens, alcohol-containing compounds, salts of heavy metals and poisons.
Taking Enterosgel allows you to get rid of dysbacteriosis, normalize the intestinal microflora, improve the functioning of the kidneys and liver, and increase immunity. The quality of the blood is getting better. The intensity of inflammation in the intestine decreases, and then completely disappears. This prevents the formation of ulcerative defects on its mucous membranes. After 10-14 hours after taking it, Enterosgel will be completely eliminated from the body unchanged.

Alkalis and acids.
Solvents.
Cyanide.
If poisoning with one of these substances occurs, an ambulance must be called.
For acne
Enterosgel can be taken to cleanse the skin. It contains organic silicon, which allows the dermis to better absorb vitamins and trace elements, as well as remove harmful substances from it. It is no secret that toxins can accumulate in the skin and provoke the appearance of acne and acne.

Twice a year you need to drink Enterosgel for 14 days. The dose is 1 tablespoon 2 times a day.
To suppress the pathogenic flora and when symptoms of endotoxicosis appear, the drug is drunk for a month.
For losing weight
Enterosgel was designed to cleanse the intestines, not to reduce weight. However, the features of the use of the drug allow you to take it for weight loss. This is actively used by people who are on a diet and doing fitness.

For allergies
An allergy is a reaction of the body to foreign proteins.
Provoking factors can be:
Weak development of the digestive system in children under one year old.
Binge eating.
Constipation.
Too much vitamin D and calcium deficiency.
Hereditary predisposition.
Taking Enterosgel allows you to remove toxins, restore the functioning of the intestines, preventing poisons from destroying its mucous membrane with antibodies that the body itself produces.
With the help of Enterosgel it will not be possible to cure allergies, but it is quite possible to speed up the recovery process. Detox is important for allergy sufferers, especially with bites from poisonous snakes and insects, with food intoxication, with acute infectious processes in the digestive system.
Enterosgel is prescribed for drug and food allergies, as it allows you to remove triggers from the body that irritate the immune system. Polymethylmiloxane polyhydrate is a substance that is odorless and tasteless, but does not cause disgust even in children. For allergies, it is recommended to take the drug for at least 14 days without a break. Between the use of Enterosgel and other drugs should take at least 1-2 hours.
Hangover
The main substance of Enterosgel binds alcohol and its decay products, which are deposited in the gastrointestinal tract. This allows you to reduce their level in the blood.
Taking the drug in case of alcohol poisoning does not allow it to destroy the liver. The body recovers faster, concentration of attention is less disturbed in a person, the speed of reactions does not suffer.
It is recommended to take the drug before the feast. It will absorb alcohol that has not penetrated into the bloodstream and absorbs toxic metabolites from the digestive organs. As a result, the morning hangover will be much easier.

Drug Comparison
Enterosgel or Polysorb
The basis of the drug Polysorb is silicon dioxide. It is available in the form of a powder that can be taken orally or used to treat skin covered with pustular rashes.
Polysorb, like Enterosgel, does not injure the mucous membrane of the digestive organs, but it is more often used specifically for external skin treatment, for example, with mastitis, abscess, phlegmon. Patients tolerate Polysorb well.
Possible side effects from taking Polysorb: constipation, dysbacteriosis, malabsorption of vitamins and trace elements. In addition, it can provoke an exacerbation of ulcers and gastritis.
Enterosgel or Smecta
Smecta is a drug based on aluminum magnesium silicate, which is of natural origin. The drug does not injure the mucous membranes of the digestive system, but can cause constipation. If you take Smecta for a long time, then hypovitaminosis may develop.
Enterosgel or Polyphepan
Polyphepan is based on a substance called hydrolytic lignin. Cleansing the intestines with its help is gentle, the walls of the organ are not injured. However, Polyphepan can cause some side effects, including: stool retention, deterioration in the absorption of nutrients in the intestines, vitamin deficiency in the body.
People who took both drugs indicate that it is much easier to drink Enterosgel. However, the undoubted advantage of Polyphepan is its low cost. It is almost 2 times cheaper than Enterosgel.
Enterosgel or Enterofuril
Enterofuril allows you to destroy the pathogenic flora, but at the same time, your own beneficial intestinal bacteria retain their ability to live.
The main active ingredient of Enterofuril is nifuroxazide, which is detrimental to bacteria and some parasites. Therefore, the drug is prescribed for the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea. Which drug to choose for a particular patient depends on the indications.
Enterosgel or activated carbon
Enterosgel has several advantages over activated charcoal. The gel has the ability to absorb only toxins, while coal removes from the body not only harmful substances, but also beneficial flora, as well as vitamins and trace elements. During passage through the digestive tract, coal can “lose” the collected toxins in the lower intestines.
The structure of the gel is such that the size of its pores is not designed for the size of the beneficial flora. It is able to absorb only toxins.
Another important advantage of Enterosgel compared to activated charcoal is that it does not stick to the intestinal walls and does not injure them. Therefore, it can be taken even for a long time.
Enterosgel, unlike activated charcoal, does not stain the stool black. This is dangerous because a person may not notice intestinal bleeding in time.
Enterosgel or Laktofiltrum
Laktofiltrum contains not only hydrolytic lignin, which is an adsorbent, but also lactulose, which allows you to restore your own intestinal microflora. With its help, lacto- and bifidobacteria begin to multiply more actively.
Therefore, if a person is diagnosed with dysbacteriosis and needs bowel cleansing, then it is better for him to choose Laktofiltrum. However, at a price it surpasses Enterosgel.
In addition, Laktofiltrum has a significant drawback. This drug is not selective. Together with toxins and poisons, it brings out vitamins and beneficial trace elements.
Enterosgel or Filtrum STI
Filtrum STI is the latest generation drug that contains only natural ingredients. It is based on hydrolytic lignin. It quickly binds and removes harmful substances that poison the human body. If you take the drug in a course, you will be able to boost the immune system.
The drugs differ from each other in the main active ingredient. Enterosgel contains gel-like silicon, and Filtrum STI contains lignin. Both of these substances, once inside, pass through the gastrointestinal tract, clean it and are excreted unchanged. The drugs do not penetrate into the blood, do not cause dehydration, do not adversely affect the qualitative composition of the intestinal microflora, and are unable to provoke beriberi.
Both Enterosgel and Filtrum STI can be taken by pregnant and lactating women, as well as by children.
