ENTEROSGEL

Description
Medical device.
Enterosgel is an inert silica hydrogel with a porous globular structure (similar to a sponge) that selectively adsorbs and eliminates only toxic molecules (both endogenous and exogenous), medium-sized molecules and pathogenic microorganisms.
Indicated for the symptomatic treatment of acute diarrhea and chronic diarrhea associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
Enterosgel is not absorbed and does not adsorb essential nutrients such as amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and protein molecules, including immunoglobulins. An oral intestinal adsorbent (enterosorbent) composed of an organic mineral capable of adsorbing certain toxic and harmful substances (e.g., endotoxins and enterotoxins) in the intestine, physically binding them to its surface, reducing the frequency of bowel movements and the duration of diarrhea. Enterosgel is excreted from the body in the feces, thus removing the adsorbed toxins and harmful substances, which may have a beneficial effect in the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea caused by IBS.
It contains no preservatives, colorants, gluten, fats, sugars, lactose, flavorings, or ingredients of plant or animal origin.

How to use
- Adults and children over 15 years: 15-22.5 g 3 times a day (15 g = 1 tablespoon) diluted in 200 ml of water 3 times a day.
- Children aged 7 to 14 years: 10 g 3 times a day (10 g = 2 teaspoons) diluted in 50-100 ml of water.
- Children aged 1 to 6 years: 5 g 3 times a day (5 g = 1 teaspoon) diluted in 50-100 ml of water (1-3 years: it is advisable to consult your doctor before using Enterosgel).
Sufficient fluid intake is necessary in any case as part of diarrhea treatment.
Take Enterosgel 2 hours before or after meals or before or after using oral medications.
Enterosgel is administered for 3-5 days for acute diarrhea and up to 21 days for chronic diarrhea. Before administration, dilute the dose in room temperature water. It is recommended to drink sufficient fluids during treatment. At the beginning of treatment for acute diarrhea (day 1), the first dose can be doubled and then continued with a single dose after each bowel movement, 3 to 6 times a day. A maximum of 8 doses are given on the first day.
During the treatment of chronic diarrhea, the dosage can be adjusted to suit the consistency of the stool and the frequency of bowel movements. You can take up to double the dose three times a day if the stool is liquid, or reduce it to one dose once a day if the stool is normal. A maximum of six doses can be taken per day.
Discontinue treatment if there is no bowel movement for 1-2 days, increase water intake, and continue treatment after bowel movements have occurred.
