Polysorb during breastfeeding: can a nursing mother take it?

Alternative use of the drug

The powder is used externally for purulent skin diseases.
Treat trophic ulcers, treat burns. It is also effective in stopping external bleeding from small wounds on the skin.

Polysorb is used to cleanse the body of harmful substances. The prophylactic course ranges from 7 to 14 days. But breastfeeding women should postpone such prophylaxis until the end of the guard.

It is convenient to keep it in your first aid kit and take it with you when traveling.

Can the product be used by a nursing woman?

"Polysorb" alleviates the condition during pregnancy, eliminating nausea and vomiting. For hepatitis B, the drug is prescribed for the treatment of intoxication of various natures, for acute poisoning and allergies.

The sorbent removes toxins and antigens, absorbs harmful microorganisms, but does not destroy beneficial microflora and does not enter the blood.

What is Polysorb MP?

Today, Polysorb, a product for removing toxins, cleansing the body and even losing weight, is at the top of the ratings, having long ago successfully pushed aside the banal activated carbon.
The reasons for this popularity lie in its undoubted effectiveness. Clinical studies have proven that the new generation enterosorbent is more effective than aluminosilicates, methyl silicic acids and other means for disinfection and detoxification. All previously used sorbents are three or more times inferior to it in terms of effectiveness.

Unfavorable environment, poor-quality food products, taking medications for the treatment of common pathologies, unhealthy lifestyle and lack of physical activity - all these are factors that have a negative impact on the condition of internal organs, weakening natural immunity.

A young mother who begins breastfeeding also has a weakened immune system, which naturally leads to the appearance of diseases caused by viral infections or a condition that she has successfully overcome.

Polysorb MP, which does not contain any additives, is a sorbent consisting of colloidal silicon dioxide, produced in disposable bags, bottles with powder and plastic jars with varying amounts of the main active ingredient.

In some countries, it is recommended as a means of cleansing the intestines for preventive purposes even before the diagnosis is made. It is believed that the sorbent not only exceeds long-used drugs in terms of sorption capacity (the ability to remove more toxins and wastes), but also suggests a greater breadth of application.

Indications

The drug neutralizes toxic substances, showing activity against toxins of food, bacterial, endogenous and exogenous nature. That is, this sorbent relieves intoxication of various origins.

Breastfeeding mothers can take Polysorb to eliminate pathological conditions such as:

Acute poisoning.
Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract that are infectious in nature.
Disorders of the digestive system caused by food incompatibility.
Disruption of beneficial intestinal microflora, which develops as a result of long-term use of antibacterial drugs.
Intoxication, provoked by the presence of an inflammatory process in the body, accompanied by the formation of foci of pus.
Poisoning with drugs, toxic substances, consumption of low-quality alcohol.
Hepatitis, causing increased bilirubin and intoxication.
Allergic manifestations.

For preventive purposes, it is recommended to take the sorbent when working with harmful substances.

The use of the drug is also prescribed for toxicosis caused by pregnancy.

Resulting effects

Polysorb passes only through the digestive and hepatobiliary systems; during its transportation, it captures toxic components in the intestines and, together with them, is evacuated by the excretory system without any special consequences. Cleansing the body with colloidal silicon oxide allows you to successfully remove from it:

products of the presence and vital activity of infections and viruses;
biological waste that the body cannot break down and absorb in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and GBS, leading to the development of flatulence and other dyspeptic manifestations;
food components with a poisonous effect (infected or expired);
ethanol compounds for alcohol intoxication;
toxins produced by parasitic infestations.

Passing through the intestines, Polysorb performs several important missions at once - it removes toxic compounds, prevents the development of functional failures and optimizes the general condition. Prophylactic administration also has undoubted advantages - it prevents toxins from accumulating in the body, removes the products of fermentation and putrefactive processes, and improves digestion. The effect of this allows a healthy person to reduce their weight.

The scope of its action involves eliminating the negative consequences of purulent-septic diseases, dysbacteriosis and variable intestinal infections. When carrying a child, the drug is one of the permitted ones. The dosage during pregnancy is reduced and recommended at the child level.

pharmachologic effect

The emulsion obtained by mixing Polysorb with liquid cleanses the intestines of allergens, microbes, chemicals, and poisons. The product absorbs and removes excess bilirubin, urea, and lipids, which have a negative effect on metabolism.

The sorbent destroys fungi and bacteria, promotes exit from the body;

metabolites;
alcohol;
metal salts;
radionuclides;
antigens.

The active component of the drug stimulates the restoration of microflora and destroys non-viable cells. The medicine acts very quickly, but does not irritate the gastric mucosa and does not enter the bloodstream.

Mode of application

During lactation, Polysorb is used in the form of a suspension. The use of the drug in its dry form is not allowed.

The powder is added to 100 ml of warm water. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the patient's weight. However, an overdose does not have a negative effect on the body, so a slight deviation from the specified norm is allowed.

The task of a nursing mother is to take care not only of her health, but also of how the effect of the drug will affect the quality of milk.

Main characteristics of Polysorb

The drug is highly effective in combating intoxication. A nursing mother can feel an improvement in her well-being within just a few minutes.

Efficiency

The medicine begins to exert its cleansing effect in a very short time, after 2–4 minutes. Unlike activated carbon tablets, Polysorb does not need time to dissolve. Once in the stomach, this medication immediately begins the absorption process. The volume of sorption capacity of Polysorb is 300 mg/g, which is the highest among enterosorbents. Thanks to this property, Polysorb most tightly envelops the walls of the gastrointestinal tract, which increases the rate of removal of harmful toxins from the body. So, one tablespoon of this medicine replaces 120 tablets of activated carbon, and drinking the drug diluted in water is much more pleasant than trying to swallow pills.

Time to fight the disease

The expected effect and duration of the fight against the disease depends on the reason for which Polysorb was prescribed.

Thus, for acute intestinal infections, the course of treatment will be 5–7 days, but if necessary, therapy can be extended to 10–15 days. For food poisoning, 3–5 days of taking the drug is sufficient. The course of treatment for viral hepatitis takes 7–10 days, provided that complex therapy is carried out. Chronic food allergies, hay fever, urticaria, toxicosis of pregnant women require treatment for 10–14 days. And in case of chronic renal failure, Polysorb should be taken over a longer course - from 25 to 30 days.

Contraindications

Polysorb has few contraindications. You should not take this medicine in case of exacerbation of stomach and duodenal ulcers, bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, decreased intestinal tone and motility, as well as individual intolerance to the drug.

Side effects

Side effects of this medication are quite rare, but a nursing mother needs to be aware of the possibility of their occurrence. Thus, undesirable effects can manifest themselves in the form of allergic reactions to the drug, constipation, and dyspepsia. It should also be noted that when using Polysorb for longer than 14 days, difficulties may arise with the absorption of vitamins and calcium. To prevent this phenomenon, you should take calcium-containing and multivitamin preparations.

About the drug

The enteric drug Polysorb is prescribed for the treatment of intoxicated conditions of the body. The main substance included in the composition absorbs toxins of a wide variety of types. The medicine is aimed at cleansing the gastrointestinal tract of chemical toxic substances acting both externally and internally, and individual metabolic products. The task of the medication is to bind and remove toxic substances from the intestines. The effect of the drug begins within a few minutes.

Available in the form of a dry mixture. A suspension is prepared from the contents of a bag or jar. The blue-white powder is characterized by the absence of odor.

The drug, which cleanses the intestines of toxins, is used for allergies of various natures. "Polysorb" is prescribed for cholera, jaundice resulting from hepatitis, chemical poisoning at work, in the complex treatment of renal failure, purulent-septic pathologies.

Why do doctors recommend Polysorb to a nursing mother?

What guides the doctor when choosing a medicine to help a nursing mother? That's right, his safety.

The safety and simplicity of its inorganic composition - aerosil or silicon dioxide - is a translucent or bluish powder, light and friable without aroma or taste, do not detract from its sorption intoxication effect:

Without being broken down in the body, the drug passes through the gastrointestinal tract, capturing substances that the body does not need along the way:
radionuclides - sources of internal radiation (uranium isotopes) accumulated in the body with food, water, and air inhalation;
The unit of measurement for the process of removing radionuclides from the body is the half-life, characterized by the release of half of the radioactive substance entering the human body
antithetes that cause allergic reactions: household - dust particles, chalk, inhaled vapors of spent automobile fuel;
epidermal - particles of the skin - fur, fluff and secretions - saliva, excrement of domestic animals;
insect - furniture bugs, cockroaches, house ants, mosquitoes and flies;
pollen - an accumulation of pollen grains of flowering plants, for example, poplar fluff;
food - abuse of poorly tolerated foods: all types of citrus fruits;
chocolate;
red berries;
nuts;
seafood;
cow's milk;
River fish.
medicinal - adverse reactions to medications taken, even when taking antihistamines. For example, skin rashes during cetirizine therapy;
fungal - mold and yeast on walls, in bathrooms, old floor coverings;
helminths - products of the activity of pinworms, roundworms that have settled in the intestines or any other internal organ, which the body considers as destruction and responds to their growth with its immune response - antibodies.
tiny intracellular parasites that enter the body during acute respiratory viral diseases;
pathogenic bacteria that can contaminate kitchen sinks, cutting boards, dishes in dining rooms, soft toys and furniture in the house, keyboards in the workplace, and even shower screens in the pool;
breakdown products of endogenous substances - elements involved in metabolism:
bilirubin, intensely secreted during poisoning, bile stagnation, blood diseases, anemia;
lipoproteins: harmful cholesterol that can clog blood vessels;
Low-density lipoproteins are provocateurs of arterial disease (atherosclerosis).
Gently cleansing the body without damaging the gastric mucosa, it normalizes metabolism and the functioning of internal organs, such as the liver and kidneys.
Literally within the first five minutes, it noticeably reduces the acute symptoms of various poisonings - constant nausea, redness of the mucous membranes and skin from frequent spasmodic bowel cleansing with simultaneous diarrhea, dizziness, followed by cold sweat with feverish chills, increased flatulence, cramps and joint pain. Will alleviate conditions caused by:
inhalation of heavy metal vapors penetrating through mucous membranes: mercury when a thermometer is broken;
copper;
lead;
thallium
drug overdoses;
intestinal infections (bacterial and viral nature).
Used in complex therapy:
viral hepatitis B - an infectious disease of the liver, expressed by flu-like symptoms, skin rashes, disturbances of consciousness and bleeding of the nose and gums (hemorrhagic syndrome) and jaundice with characteristic staining of the skin and mucous membranes due to increased hemoglobin;
chronic renal failure - irreversible failure of the kidneys to fulfill their functional duties due to the death of parts of the kidneys (nephrons).
Has a pronounced cosmetic effect:
eliminates dental plaque.
In combination with a well-chosen diet for nursing mothers, it reduces excess weight after childbirth and eliminates constipation.
Numerous reviews on the Internet confirm its effectiveness in combating hangovers. But in this article for nursing mothers, for obvious reasons, we do not disclose this information in detail.

Features of use during breastfeeding

The dosage of Polysorb should be calculated based on the patient’s weight.
As we have already found out, a nursing mother can use this drug without fear, it is only necessary to take into account some of the features of administration. The medication should not be used in dry form. Polysorb powder must always be diluted with non-carbonated clean water in accordance with the table and mixed thoroughly. Thus, we will receive one dose of medicine, which must be taken 3-4 times during the day.

Patient weight	Dosage of the drug	Water volume
up to 10 kg	0.5–1.5 teaspoons per day	30–50 ml
11–20 kg	1 level teaspoon per serving	30–50 ml
21–30 kg	1 heaped teaspoon per serving	50–70 ml
31–40 kg	2 heaped teaspoons per serving	70–100 ml
41–60 kg	1 heaped tablespoon for 1 serving	100 ml
over 60 kg	1–2 heaped tablespoons per serving	100–150 ml

A teaspoon of Polysorb contains about 1 gram of medicine, and a tablespoon - 3 grams.

A nursing mother should remember that the maximum daily dose of the drug for adults is 12–24 grams, the maximum single dose at the first dose should not exceed half the daily dose, then it should be taken according to weight. Silicon dioxide cannot cause overdose, so measurement errors should not be a concern.

The time at which it is necessary to take the drug also depends on the type of disease. In case of food allergy, Polysorb should be consumed during meals or immediately after. For chronic allergies, poisoning, viral hepatitis, chronic renal failure, toxicosis in pregnant women, as well as when it is necessary to cleanse the body, drink Polysorb 1 hour before meals or at least an hour after. In case of poisoning, it is also recommended to rinse the stomach with a solution of this sorbent - from 2 to 4 tablespoons per 1 liter of clean still water. For acute intestinal diseases, the medicine is taken every hour on the first day, and then 4 times a day according to the dose.

It is advisable to dilute the drug before each dose, however, the prepared suspension can be stored for 24 hours at a temperature of 8–15 ° C, which simplifies the preparation of the daily dose of the drug.

How does it affect lactation?

The sorbent removes toxins and antigens, absorbs harmful microorganisms, but does not destroy beneficial microflora and does not enter the blood.

Taking the drug does not affect the production of the hormone responsible for lactation.

Impact on a child during breastfeeding

During breastfeeding, much of what enters the mother's body passes into breast milk. Therefore, the mother should approach diet and medication thoughtfully. But this applies to everything that can be digested by the digestive system and enters the bloodstream.

Let us repeat once again: polysorb during breastfeeding is indicated as a means of cleansing the mother’s body. It is harmless to mother and child because it does not break down into its components. Accordingly, it does not penetrate into the blood and further into breast milk.

Polysorb will quickly help a nursing mother relieve intoxication, speed up the recovery process and, most importantly, preserve the process of breastfeeding and significantly reduce the period during which harmful agents penetrate into milk.

Contraindications and possible side effects

In many publications and in the instructions for use, Polysorb for hepatitis B is called the optimal remedy that has no obstacles to its use

But feeding a child is a process that requires extreme caution when using drugs, even those that are considered absolutely neutral and do not pose any threat due to their non-exposure to breast milk.

Lactation involves a responsible approach to the choice of foods, excluding those that can cause undesirable effects in the baby’s imperfect digestive system or worsen the mother’s well-being

Therefore, any medications should be treated with caution:

Taking Polysorb while breastfeeding can cause allergies in the mother if she has an individual immunity to the main active ingredient of the drug, the development of an allergic reaction. Considering that the baby’s well-being depends entirely on how the nurse feels, and his immunity is formed through mother’s milk, he could potentially also feel unwell if she has allergies.
Like any sorbent, evacuating harmful compounds from the body, Polysorb during breastfeeding can capture useful substances - vitamins, micro- and macroelements. If for any reason a young mother takes medications approved for lactation (for example, natural remedies for intestinal dysbiosis or herbal hepatoprotectors), their absorption will also be reduced. Most of the medicinal compounds will be excreted through the excretory system along with others, whose removal is the real purpose of taking the new generation enterosorbent.

When breastfeeding, the child dosage is observed, as during pregnancy, but even a small amount of powder in the form of a suspension can cause, according to the compilers of the instructions for use, belching, a feeling of fullness in the stomach and associated intestines, and a sour-metallic taste in the mouth. Such unpleasant sensations lead to a deterioration in appetite, but it is well known that a woman, before feeding, must eat well herself so that the milk arrives and the quantity is enough for the baby.
Even less desirable is the development of constipation, which is also included in the list of potential negative consequences. When feces accumulate in the intestines, digestion and full absorption of the compounds necessary for the child deteriorate. The accumulation of decay products causes intoxication and worsens well-being. If constipation is not eliminated using traditional methods and is not corrected with food, the need for laxatives arises. Some of them pass into breast milk.
There are conditions in which Polysorb is strictly contraindicated, and this also needs to be taken into account. It should not be taken for ulcerative lesions of the gastric and duodenal mucosa and impaired bowel function (atony, pathological motility, weakness of smooth muscles).

Particular attention should be paid to prohibiting the use of Polysorb during hepatitis B if bleeding of any etiology is observed in the body. This is an indispensable attribute of the postpartum state, when the body is recovering from gestation, and this period can normally vary in duration, remaining within the conventional norm

Taking a sorbent will not only be undesirable, but can also lead to dangerous consequences. Therefore, you should not take on faith recommendations for taking Polysorb daily, even in small quantities, for prevention or cleansing the body.

Is it possible to take Polysorb while breastfeeding?

According to the instructions, the drug is not prohibited for use by pregnant women and during lactation. Every mother is puzzled by the question of the safety of the drug. They resort to using medication for treatment and prevention purposes. The following must be taken into account:

Analogs approved for breastfeeding

Sorbents that act as a filter are of two types:

absorbents that form a solution with substances;
adsorbents that accumulate substances on their surface.

Both are suitable for nursing mothers because they have no role other than attracting harmful compounds and bacterial cells. In addition to Polysorb, other drugs also have a cleansing effect: activated carbon, Smecta, Enterosgel, Laktofiltrum. They are also allowed for breastfeeding.

When breastfeeding, most sorbents can be used. Often they do not penetrate the bloodstream and do not cause negative effects on mother and child. It is important to consider that the list of indications and contraindications is almost identical. Safe analogues:

Composition and effect of the drug

The active ingredient of Polysorb is silicon dioxide, which is an active enterosorbent, that is, it collects substances harmful to humans.

This means that it acts in the human gastrointestinal tract, attracting to its surface, binding and removing harmful agents:

Toxins that come from outside and penetrate from the bloodstream into the gastrointestinal tract.
Toxic metabolites formed during the breakdown of substances in the gastrointestinal tract.
Bacterial and viral cells, as well as their life products.
Radioactive substances.
Allergens, etc.

By itself, this compound is inactive: it does not react inside the human stomach and intestines, it is not dissolved by acids, that is, it does not change and is not digested. While remaining neutral, it has the special ability to collect molecules and bacterial cells of different sizes on its surface. Then polysorb, together with the substances adsorbed by it, is excreted through the intestines from the body.

Creates an enveloping (protective) effect for the mucous membrane.
It structures the contents of the intestine, that is, makes it homogeneous, which facilitates the functioning of the organ and increases contractility.
Forms an environment favorable for beneficial intestinal flora and has a negative effect on pathogenic bacteria.
Improves liver and kidney function, therefore it is used in the treatment of hepatitis.

Let's summarize

From the article you were able to find out whether it is possible to take Polysorb while breastfeeding.
