One of the most effective of enterosorbents is Polysorb. Representing a colloidal silicon dioxide, Polysorb binds to and helps in the intestines to infer both the internal ones that are produced in the body itself and the toxic substances coming in from outside, regardless of the nature of their origin.
Apply the drug in treatment:
- Intoxication of the organism of any origin.
- Intestinal infections.
- Influenza, acute respiratory diseases.
- Jaundice with renal failure.
In addition, Polysorbs are prescribed for poisoning, as a preventive measure to people working in hazardous production or living in ecologically disadvantaged areas, with allergies. However, in persons prone to stool retention, constipation when taking Polysorb is quite common.
Constipation after polysorb
The drug has a high sorption activity, binding substances of any origin that are in the lumen of the intestine. At the same time, it has the ability to bind water in large quantities. For example, one gram of the drug binds five grams of water. In turn, a decrease in the amount of fluid in the stool leads to their compaction and dryness, which, accordingly, causes constipation. Avoid constipation possible, if simultaneously with the drug to take liquid in large quantities. If necessary, when the manifestations of constipation after Polysorb can not be removed, laxatives are used.
The amount of the drug is calculated based on the body weight of the person, and for the child the allowable single dose, which can be divided into 3-4 admission, is one tenth of the child's weight. Take it as a suspension, which is prepared immediately before use. In severe poisoning or food intoxication, rinsing of the stomach with the drug is done. Manipulation is repeated with a break 4-6 hours until the person's state improves.
Active substance Polisorba is completely removed from the gastrointestinal tract, taking with itself harmful bacteria, toxins, food allergens, radionuclides, all kinds of medications, absolutely not absorbed into the blood. Absolute harmlessness of organic absorbent allows it to be used for therapeutic purposes to eliminate constipation to pregnant women and infants from the age of one month.
