Enterosgel is one of the effective drugs for cleansing the body, reducing weight, improving health, without burning fat. Being a strong adsorbent, the drug binds harmful toxins and wastes and removes them from the body. Enterosgel was not created as a drug for weight loss, but its properties are used by many who want to lose weight.

The drug is produced in the form of: paste, produced in tubes, gel, produced in plastic jars or bags.
General information
The drug Enterosgel is produced in the form of a paste or gel. The paste is practically odorless, white, and the gel is jelly-like, white and does not smell of anything.
The drug is packaged in 15, 45 or 225 g. This is a mildly acting drug that cleanses the body of toxic substances and toxins.
The drug penetrates the gastrointestinal structures, neutralizes toxins and prevents their further spread and absorption into the digestive structures. Enterosgel is so safe that it can be successfully taken by children and pregnant women.
Enterosgel refers to adsorbent drugs that function like a sponge, absorbing bacterial microorganisms, allergens and toxins, toxic substances or medications, alcohol and bilirubin, urea and excess fat.
The drug does not have an adsorbing effect on substances and vitamins beneficial to the body; it improves gastrointestinal activity and restores the microflora of intestinal structures. Enterosgel is safe and can be used to cleanse the body in patients of any gender and age.
Advantages of Enterosgel
Enterosgel easily rids the body of harmful substances in case of poisoning. It increases the rate of restoration of intestinal microflora without changing its motor functions, and stimulates the regeneration of the mucous membranes of the entire digestive tract. With long-term use, Enterosgel normalizes cholesterol levels in the blood and acts as a preventive measure for atherosclerosis and various vascular diseases. No other sorbent can boast of this property in case of poisoning.
Enterosgel is hypoallergenic and can be used in various detox procedures. A course of Enterosgel will help improve the condition of the skin, get rid of acne, and speed up the healing of wounds and scratches. Enterosgel has practically no side effects - it can cause only minor dyspeptic symptoms or consolidation of stool at the beginning of administration.
How to choose the most effective drug for poisoning? Let's consider the most effective options for poisoning.
Comparison of Enterosgel with activated carbon
Activated carbon is the cheapest and most accessible remedy for poisoning at home. However, it has a low sorption capacity in case of poisoning (5 mg per 1 g of the drug), so the patient has to swallow 70–80 tablets per day. Enterosgel has a sorption capacity 30 times higher - you can take three tablespoons of gel within 24 hours.
Among all existing enterosorbents, activated carbon is characterized by the highest sorption of vitamins. It removes from the body in case of poisoning not only harmful substances, but also useful ones, and in a significant volume. In case of poisoning, Enterosgel does not have this drawback.
When taking activated carbon, a desorption effect is sometimes observed, when bound components are suddenly released in the intestines and attack the body again. This traditional sorbent also leads to heartburn, belching, nausea, flatulence and pain in the lower abdomen with prolonged use. Enterosgel has virtually no side effects.
What is better for poisoning - Polysorb MP or Enterosgel?
Polysorb, like Enterosgel, belongs to organosilicon sorbents. Their principles of action and indications for use are similar, but there are a number of differences:
- the hydrogel is already ready for use, Polysorb needs to be diluted with water;
- Enterosgel does not tolerate freezing, and Polysorb is unpretentious to storage conditions;
- the gel is characterized by selective adsorption, it removes only harmful components, and Polysorb is characterized by increased protein activity;
- both medications can be given to children from birth, but they take the gel more readily because of its sweetish taste;
- the sorption capacity of Polysorb is 300 mg per 1 g, that of Enterosgel is two times lower;
- the hydrogel envelops and protects the intestinal mucous membranes; the suspension does not have this property;
- the prices of the drugs differ significantly - the gel costs almost twice as much.
The criteria for evaluating drugs are determined by individual needs. Enterosgel is best used for poisoning in the following situations:
- a small child was injured and it is difficult to force him to drink the diluted suspension;
- a long course of cleansing from the effects of chronic intoxication is carried out;
- Ease of use and storage is important (for example, when traveling frequently);
- increased sensitivity of the gastrointestinal mucosa.
It is more appropriate to store Polysorb in a home medicine cabinet and use it once in case of severe poisoning.
Comparison with lignin preparations
Lignin is a natural component extracted from certain types of algae and plants. Such popular drugs as Polyphepan, Lignosorb, Liferan have been created on its basis. They are characterized by a low sorption capacity - about 18 mg/g.
Like activated carbon, lignin sorbents are prone to desorption. 2 hours after taking them, the patient needs to empty his intestines, otherwise toxins will again penetrate into the blood. If the drug is taken at night, you should wait until you have a bowel movement and only then go to bed.
Lignin preparations are created on the basis of plant polymers; Lactulose is often added to them, which helps normalize digestion processes. However, their adsorption is not selective, therefore, with long-term treatment of poisoning, vitamins and minerals will be removed from the body. From this point of view, Enterosgel is safer, and its effectiveness is higher.
What is better for poisoning - Smecta or Enterosgel?
Smecta is an enterosorbent based on aluminosilicate. It comes in powder form, which should be diluted with water before use. One of the most important conditions for preparation in case of poisoning is regular stirring, and there is no need to prepare the hydrogel - just drink it with water. In case of poisoning, Enterosgel begins to act immediately after administration, Smecta - after some time.
The sorption capacity of drugs in case of poisoning also differs:
- 150 mg/g for hydrogel;
- 100 mg/g – for smecta.
At the same time, the gel is characterized by high selectivity of adsorption, so it is completely safe even with long-term treatment.
Enterosgel does not contain additional sweeteners or flavorings - its taste is slightly sweet, but generally neutral. Additives included in Smecta:
- flavorings (vanilla, orange);
- sodium saccharinate;
- dextrose monohydrate.
It tastes better, but is not suitable for diabetics, patients with carbohydrate metabolism disorders or a tendency to allergic reactions. The range of applications of Smecta is less wide.
Comparison with natural sorbents
Some dietary fibers - chitin, pectin - have the ability to bind harmful substances and remove them from the body. They are part of dietary supplements, and can also be obtained directly from food products - beets, black currants, apples, grapes and many others; it is better in case of poisoning, polysorb or enterosgel.
Natural sorbents help cleanse the body of accumulated toxins in case of poisoning and reduce the consequences of alcohol poisoning. However, they are ineffective for treating serious poisoning.
Effect of the drug
Enterosgel is endowed with a lot of useful actions, which include:
- Actively removes toxic substances;
- Reduces intestinal motility, thereby eliminating diarrhea;
- Protects the gastrointestinal mucous membranes from irritating effects;
- Cleanses the body of substances that poison it;
- Cleanses carefully and sparingly, without penetrating into the bloodstream and maintaining normal intestinal microflora;
- The drug absorbs excess lipids, bilirubin and cholesterol deposits;
- The components of the drug effectively remove allergens and alcohol components, salts of harmful metals or toxic substances.
Moreover, Enterosgel relieves dysbiosis and normalizes intestinal, renal and hepatic activity, restores immune and hematopoietic activity. The medication stimulates peristalsis and restores intestinal microflora, eliminates inflammation and restores the gastrointestinal mucous membranes, which helps prevent the formation of erosive lesions.
The drug in its unchanged form is eliminated from the body after 10-14 hours, without causing any harm to it, regardless of the patient’s age.
Instructions for use for alcohol poisoning
Enterosgel is used to treat alcohol intoxication, as well as to prevent hangovers. That is, this medication can be used both for treatment and for preventive purposes. The method of application may differ slightly depending on the intended purpose.
The pharmacological agent promotes the binding of the components of ethyl alcohol, as well as its breakdown products, prevents the rapid onset of intoxication, reduces hangover, headaches and attacks of nausea.
It is recommended to take a packet of Enterosgel 30-40 minutes before drinking alcoholic beverages. Another sachet should be drunk in the evening, just before bed.
As a rule, in such cases a hangover does not occur. If, nevertheless, in the morning a person is bothered by its manifestations, it is necessary to take a sachet of the drug immediately after waking up, and a second one 2-4 hours later.
If the hangover is very severe or a person needs to quickly restore a normal state, you should drink 2 sachets of Enterosgel at once, and after 3-4 hours - 2 more sachets. But it is very important to remember that the maximum permissible daily dose of the drug should in no case exceed 6 sachets over 24 hours.
Indications
The medication is prescribed to cleanse the body for various pathologies such as:
- Viral hepatitis, hepatic cirrhosis or cholestasis, diarrhea and colitis of various etiologies, enterocolitis or gastritis, etc.;
- Intoxication of drug or alcohol origin;
- Chronic kidney failure, developed against the background of nephrolithiasis, renal polycystic disease or pyelonephritis;
- Pregnant women with toxicosis in the early months or with intestinal dysbiosis;
- For skin pathologies or allergies, purulent-septic or burn intoxications.
The product has a fairly wide range of applications and is successfully used by specialists in the treatment of many pathologies.
Lymph cleansing with licorice and Enterosgel: reviews and contraindications
Reviews about Enterosgel are extremely positive. Absolutely everyone who has taken this product notes its high effectiveness and safety. It has a positive effect on the body even in case of alcohol poisoning, which is why many people practice the remedy as effective after a stormy feast with alcoholic drinks.
On the Internet, be it a weight loss site or a forum for caring mothers, you can find a large number of positive comments about this method of cleansing.
In recent years, the method of cleansing with licorice and Enterosgel has spread. Reviews from doctors indicate that this combination can be used for various poisonings and chronic diseases debilitating the body.
Will this symbiosis be just as good for weight loss?
Unfortunately, it is not enough to just cleanse the intestines and lymph to get rid of the hated kilograms. Both syrup and Enterosgel (doctors' reviews) will help eliminate toxic substances during weight loss, speed up metabolism and reduce endogenous intoxication. But the main effect is still exerted by willpower, daily gymnastics, and reducing the calorie content and volume of food eaten.
In what form is it better to use the medicine?
As mentioned above, the medication is available in the form of a gel or paste. The paste is tasteless, but not very pleasant to eat. The product has a three-year shelf life, so you need to check this before use.
Enterosgel paste cannot be frozen, because it loses its therapeutic effect if stored at a temperature below +4°C, but storing the drug in the refrigerator is quite acceptable.
After the first opening, you need to close the medicine as tightly as possible. If the drug has dried out, then you cannot take it, because it loses its medicinal properties. Similar conditions and requirements apply to Enterosgel in gel form.
Is body cleansing safe?
Lately, more and more people are trying to cleanse their body from time to time. And when cleansing the body is necessary, many people pay attention to Enterosgel. The reason is his safety.
When using the drug, the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract improves and toxins are eliminated. But at the same time, the drug does not interfere with the absorption of vitamins and microelements necessary to improve health and well-being.
Due to the complete safety of this drug, it is often prescribed to different patients:
- People with chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Little patients.
- Pregnant women.
- Nursing young mothers.
How to take Enterosgel to cleanse the body and intestines?
Enterosgel should be taken approximately 1-2 hours before or after eating or taking medications, dissolving the drug in water (1:3) or taking it pure and drinking water.
- Adults need to take the drug one and a half large spoons.
- You need to do three of these steps a day.
- For preventive purposes, the drug must be taken for a week and a half.
- If severe intoxication occurs, the single dosage is doubled.
- When taking, be sure to drink plenty of water with the medicine.
Children under one year old can take the medication at the tip of a dessert spoon, for children 1-5 years old the single dose is 1 dessert spoon, and for 5-10 year olds the drug is given a tablespoon at a time. For children over 14, the dosage is increased as for adults, i.e. 1.5 large spoons.
Taking Enterosgel for food poisoning
Food poisoning is a serious human condition caused by eating food containing pathogenic microorganisms. Such microorganisms include Escherichia coli, proteus, enterococcus, staphylococcus, etc. They have a pronounced toxic effect on the human body and provoke a severe form of intoxication.
Food poisoning can also be caused by the consumption of agricultural products grown with the help of various pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals. In some cases, products such as canned food, semi-finished products, which contain preservatives and food additives that can provoke the development of poisoning, can lead to intoxication of the body.
One of the most common foods that cause food intoxication are mushrooms. As you know, there is such a category of mushrooms as conditionally poisonous - they are considered edible only if properly prepared. In case of insufficient heat treatment of mushrooms, they become poisonous and can cause serious poisoning to the person who consumed them.
How to recognize food poisoning? To do this, you need to know its main symptoms, which include the following:
- nausea;
- bouts of vomiting;
- stomach ache;
- increased body temperature;
- apathy, weakness, fatigue;
- bowel disorders.
In order to improve the patient’s condition in the shortest possible time and relieve him of the symptoms of food intoxication, it is recommended to use Enterosgel. First aid for food poisoning consists of several stages:
- The victim must be given copious amounts of water in order to provoke a vomiting attack.
- If vomiting does not occur after drinking, it is necessary to press the tip of a teaspoon on the root of the victim’s tongue.
- To lavage the stomach, prepare the following solution: dilute 4 tablespoons of kitchen salt in a glass of warm water and drink the resulting liquid in small sips.
- A packet of Enterosgel is diluted in clean water in a ratio of 1:3, after which the drug is taken about an hour before meals.
- If Enterosgel is used in gel form, it is recommended to take 1.5 tablespoons three times a day.
For mild forms of food poisoning, you should take at least 3 sachets of the drug per day; for severe types of intoxication, the maximum daily dosage can be increased to 5-6 sachets per day.
If, in case of acute food poisoning, other medications are used in addition to Enterosgel, the pause between doses should be at least 1.5-2 hours. Depending on the severity of intoxication of the body, the duration of treatment can range from 3 to 7 days. In most cases, this period is quite enough to remove the remnants of toxic substances and toxic components from the human body.
Contraindications
Enterosgel has virtually no contraindications, but it is not recommended to take it in case of intestinal obstruction, lack of peristalsis, atony or ulcerative processes in the stomach and duodenum.
In addition, the medication is not recommended for patients with hypersensitivity to the drug or its components. It is also not recommended to take the medicine for patients with stomach bleeding.
While taking the drug, some patients experience short-term constipation, flatulence and other minor disorders, which quickly disappear after stopping taking Enterosgel.
Other ways to combat hangover
If the disease has overtaken you, but Enterosgel is not available, then you can help the body in other ways:
- Cleanse the stomach and intestines. You cannot restrain the urge to gag or suppress the desire to go to the toilet.
Toxins remaining in the stomach and intestines continue to enter the bloodstream, preventing the body from returning to normal. If there is no urge, then you can cleanse the stomach yourself: just drink 1-2 liters of water and forcefully induce vomiting. An enema will help you empty your bowels, but it’s not safe to give it to yourself without proper experience and if you’re feeling unwell. - Cold and hot shower. A sharp change in temperature tones the circulatory system and the body as a whole. Metabolism accelerates, toxins are eliminated faster.
- Drink plenty of fluids. Alcohol has a diuretic effect and causes dehydration.
Extreme thirst and headache are the most common symptoms of a hangover. In a dehydrated body, the blood thickens and insufficient oxygen reaches the brain. To thin the blood and restore water balance, you need to consume more fluid. Green weak tea is suitable - it will help remove toxins from the stomach and intestines. Mineral water, brines, juices restore electrolyte balance. - Breakfast. When the nausea subsides, be sure to have breakfast. It is better to give preference to low-fat light foods: bananas, avocados, cereals, scrambled eggs. If food doesn't go down your throat, cook chicken broth.
- Rest. Good sleep promotes recovery. If possible, put things aside and get some sleep.
- Fresh air. Go for a run, but don't overdo it.
It is unsafe to strain an already exhausted cardiovascular system. If your health does not allow you to exercise, just take a walk and get some air. Thanks to the supply of oxygen, the lungs open, blood flow increases and metabolism accelerates. Harmful breakdown products of alcohol disappear faster.
Do not forget that not a single drinking session goes away without leaving a trace on the body. The most effective way to stay healthy and never experience hangover problems is to abstain.
Shelf life and storage conditions
It is permissible to use the drug for no longer than 3 years. At the end of this period, a decrease in its effectiveness is noted.
Enterosorbent should be stored at a temperature of +4…+30°C.
Enterosorbent should be stored at a temperature of +4…+30°C. Moreover, it is important to avoid drying out the substance, which can lead to premature loss of properties.
What are the features of Enterosgel?
Enterosgel, a modern gel-like sorbent based on bioorganic silicon, has a unique molecular structure. The pores in them are of a strictly defined size, optimal for the absorption of molecules of toxins and poisons and at the same time safe for vitamins, microelements and beneficial intestinal microflora. Once inside Enterosgel, toxins are securely fixed in it and cannot “fall out” back into the intestinal lumen, as happens with other sorbents - in case of poisoning, Enterosgel effectively removes toxic substances outside without losing them in the intestines. The drug is safe for digestive bacteria and does not cause vitamin deficiency even with long-term use.
Due to its structure, Enterosgel has a pronounced detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and antidiarrheal effect. It does not react with the body, is not absorbed into the blood, does not accumulate in the tissues of the body, and does not settle on the inner surface of the gastrointestinal tract.
Enterosgel absorbs and removes from the body:
- toxic substances, both exogenous (entered the body from the outside) and endogenous (appearing as a result of the body’s vital activity);
- pathogenic bacteria and toxic products of their vital activity;
- allergens;
- salts of heavy metals;
- toxic components of medications;
- alcohol;
- some metabolic products that are safe in normal quantities, but in excess can be harmful to health - for example, bilirubin, urea, cholesterol.
By thoroughly cleansing the intestines of toxins, Enterosgel helps normalize the composition of the intestinal microflora.
How is it better than other intoxicants?
“Enterosgel” is a medicinal substance, an enterosorbent drug that serves to remove all unhealthy and harmful substances from the body.
The medicine has the property of a “intelligent” sponge with holes, which, in turn, are ideally suited to the size of the harmful molecules of the toxic substance. Please note that the medicine does not remove beneficial stomach bacteria.
Enterosgel is also not absorbed by the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract (gastrointestinal tract). It naturally “travels” through the intestines, the paste absorbs toxic substances, harmful bacteria, viruses and completely filters the body in just seven hours.
Enterosgel has been tested more than once, the strength and effect of the drug has been clinically proven. It will help with gastrointestinal disorders due to household poisoning, harmful bacteria entering the body, poisoning with stale or poor-quality food, after a feast with a large amount of alcohol, with symptoms of systemic diseases of varying severity, allergies and other diseases that poison our body.
For over fifteen years, this medicinal product has been tested by gastroenterologists and has won the love and trust of patients with the speed of its action and its effect on improving well-being.
"Enterosgel" is taken orally and has the appearance of a translucent, white, odorless, homogeneous paste with a slightly sweetish aftertaste.
One hundred grams of Enterosgel contains:
- polymethylsiloxane polyhydrate – 70 grams;
- additional substance: distilled water – 30 grams;
The drug "Enterosgel" received first place among the participants in the competitive competition of medical products "Favorites of Success - 2008" in two categories:
- “Choice of the most successful people” is the best medicine for curing intestinal dysbiosis;
- “Value of quality and price” is the best drug for diarrhea.
