Entherosgel has a porous structure of silicone matrix (molecular sponge) of hydrophobic nature, which is characterized by sorption action against only medium molecular weight toxic metabolites (m.m. from 70 to 1000).

Pharmacodynamics

Entherosgel has pronounced sorption and detoxification properties.

In the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract the preparation binds and removes from the body endogenous and exogenous toxic substances of various origins, including bacteria and bacterial toxins, antigens, food allergens, drugs and poisons, heavy metals and alcohol.

The preparation also sorbs some products of the body’s metabolism, including excessive bilirubin, urea, cholesterol and lipid complexes, as well as metabolites responsible for the development of endogenous toxicosis. Enterosgel does not reduce absorption of vitamins and microelements; it helps restore disturbed intestinal microflora and does not affect intestinal motility.

Special Instructions

Precautionary measures when taking the drug

Entherosgel can be used in combination therapy with other medicinal products with observance of the rule of separate time of taking – 1-2 hours before or after taking other drugs.

The results of recent published clinical trials (see Clinical guidelines “Obstetrics and gynecology”, 4th edition, revised and supplemented, M. GETAR-Media, 2014) allow us to recommend Enterosgel as part of the complex therapy of patients with endometritis and gestational pyelonephritis.

Entherosgel (polymethylsiloxane polyhydrate) has pronounced sorption and detoxification properties. In the gastrointestinal tract polymethylsiloxane polyhydrate binds and removes endogenous and exogenous toxic substances of various nature including bacteria and bacterial toxins, antigens, food allergens, metabolites of medicines and salts of heavy metals. The drug also sorbs metabolic products of the body, including excess bilirubin, urea, cholesterol and lipid complexes, as well as metabolites responsible for the development of endogenous toxicity. Polymethylsiloxane polyhydrate does not reduce absorption of vitamins and microelements, promotes restoration of disrupted intestinal microflora and does not affect its motor function.

There are no data on the interaction with alcohol.

Prescription conditions from pharmacies

The drug is approved for over-the-counter use.
