Polysorb MP is an inorganic non-selective polyfunctional enterosorbent based on highly dispersed silica with particle sizes up to 0.09 mm and the chemical formula SiO 2.
Polysorb MP has pronounced sorption and detoxification properties.
In the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract, the drug binds and removes from the body endogenous and exogenous toxic substances of various natures, including pathogenic bacteria and bacterial toxins, antigens, foods, drugs and poisons, salts of heavy metals, radionuclides, alcohol. Polysorb MP also sorbs some metabolic products of the body, incl. excess bilirubin, urea, cholesterol and lipid complexes, as well as metabolites responsible for the development of endogenous toxicosis.
After taking the drug Polysorb MP orally, the active substance is not broken down and is not absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract. It is excreted from the body unchanged.
Polysorb MP is taken orally only in the form of an aqueous suspension. To obtain a suspension, the required amount of the drug is thoroughly mixed in 1/4-1/2 cup of water. It is recommended to prepare a fresh suspension before each dose of the drug and drink it 1 hour before meals or taking other medications.
For adults the drug Polysorb MP is prescribed in an average daily dose of 0.1-0.2 g/kg body weight (6-12 g). Frequency of administration - 3-4 times/day. The maximum daily dose for adults is 0.33 g/kg body weight (20 g).
A single dose of Polysorb MP for children depends on body weight (see table).
Daily dose = single dose × 3 times a day.
1 heaped teaspoon - 1 g of the drug.
1 heaped tablespoon - 2.5-3 g of the drug.
At food allergies the drug should be taken immediately before meals. The daily dose is divided into 3 doses during the day.
The duration of treatment depends on the diagnosis and severity of the disease. Course of treatment for acute intoxications is 3-5 days; at allergic diseases and chronic intoxications- up to 10-14 days. After 2-3 weeks, the course of treatment can be repeated.
Features of the use of the drug Polysorb MP for various diseases and conditions
At food poisoning and acute poisoning It is recommended to start therapy with gastric lavage with a 0.5-1% suspension of the drug Polysorb MP. In case of severe poisoning, gastric lavage is carried out through a tube every 4-6 hours on the first day, and the drug is also given orally. Single dose for adults is 0.1-0.15 g/kg of the patient’s body weight 2-3 times/day.

Often, in the treatment of diseases and poisonings, it is necessary to use enterosorbents. One of the most effective drugs in this class is Polysorb MP. Despite the fact that the drug has gained well-deserved popularity among doctors and patients, not everyone knows the principle of action of this drug and how to use it.
The term “sorbents” in medicine, and not only, refers to substances of different state of aggregation that are capable of absorbing foreign substances from the environment in a gaseous or liquid state.
In medicine, sorbents are most often used to remove toxic substances from the body that are formed during inflammatory processes, or get there as a result of poisoning of various origins.
The main requirements for medical enterosorbents, in addition to high sorption properties:
One of the popular sorbents in modern domestic medicine is Polysorb. This new generation drug has almost all of the above properties. This simple in composition and very effective medicine is widely used in the treatment of various pathologies.
The drug is also found in medical texts under the name Polysorb MP. In fact, Polysorb and Polysorb MP are the same drug. The abbreviation “MP” denotes the area of application of the drug – “medical oral”. It was introduced in order to distinguish the drug from its veterinary variety – Polysorb VP.
The process of sorption or absorption according to the mechanism of implementation is divided into two types: adsorption and absorption. Adsorption refers to the absorption of substances through chemical interaction of the sorbent with them. And absorption is absorption that occurs due to the formation of a solution in a solid or liquid state between the sorbent and the absorbed substance. Polysorb is classified as an adsorbent substance.
Once in the gastrointestinal tract, the drug has an adsorbing effect on toxins of exogenous and endogenous origin, removing them from the body. In addition to toxic substances, Polysorb absorbs in the human body:
Polysorb also actively absorbs some metabolic products in the body:
In addition, Polysorb has an enveloping effect and envelops the intestinal walls, protecting them from irritation. In the classification of medical drugs, Polysorb is also classified as an antidiarrheal agent.
The maximum volume of absorption of foreign substances by the drug (sorption capacity) is 300 mg/g, and the specific sorption surface is 300-400 m2/g. At the same time, the characteristics of silicon dioxide do not allow it to dissolve under the influence of aggressive substances in the gastrointestinal tract or decompose into simpler components. Therefore, the drug is excreted unchanged from the body. Polysorb begins its action within a few minutes after administration.
Polysorb MP belongs to the category of non-selective sorbents. This means that it absorbs almost everything that is in the gastrointestinal tract, including medications taken by the patient, beneficial intestinal microflora, nutrients, vitamins and microelements. Therefore, when taking Polysorb, it is necessary to adjust the doses of other medications taken by the patient. Also, in some cases, the doctor may prescribe simultaneous use of probiotics and vitamin-mineral complexes with Polysorb.
The basis of the sorbent is colloidal silicon dioxide. It is a crystalline, colorless substance with a high degree of strength and hardness. In the preparation, silicon dioxide is presented in the form of a white and light powder, tasteless and odorless. A distinctive characteristic of silicon dioxide is its resistance to acid attack. This property ensures the stability of the compound in the acidic gastric environment. Silicon dioxide is also characterized by the absence of a chemical reaction when interacting with water. If the powder is immersed in water and mixed evenly, a colloidal suspension is formed.
In addition, silicon dioxide is biologically neutral and non-toxic to humans. Silicon dioxide is often used in the food and pharmaceutical industries as an excipient.
The drug does not contain any other components - dyes or flavoring additives, and silicon dioxide itself has hypoallergenic properties. This helps to successfully use the drug in the fight against allergic reactions.
Polysorb is available in the form of a light white (with a slight bluish tint), odorless and tasteless powder. The powder consists of small particles of silicon dioxide. The drug cannot be used in dry form; for use it is necessary to prepare an aqueous suspension.
The powder can be packaged either in capped plastic bottles or in disposable paper bags. Packages may contain 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 12 g of the drug, plastic jars - 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 g of the drug.
The drug is produced by the Russian company JSC Polisorb. The medicine can be purchased in pharmacies without a prescription.
The shelf life of the powder is 5 years, it can be stored at a temperature not exceeding +30 °C. If there is unused powder left in the jar, the jar must be tightly closed and moisture should not be allowed to enter. The prepared suspension must be used within 2 days.
Polysorb MP is a sorbent based on particles of silicon dioxide SiO2 (silica). The particle size is only 0.09 mm. However, the surface of each particle is very large, which allows for a strong adsorbing effect. 1 g of the drug can absorb at least 300 mg of toxins. In this case, the drug is not absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract and is excreted from the body naturally along with feces.
The range of indications for the use of Polysorb is quite wide. It includes almost all diseases, the manifestation or consequence of which is intoxication. Polysorb is most often used for:
Externally, Polysorb powder can be used as part of the complex treatment of purulent wounds, trophic ulcers, etc.
In addition, Polysorb is often used as a prophylactic for people who live in regions with unfavorable environmental conditions or work in hazardous industries.
Polysorb MP is often used in the treatment of allergies. It not only eliminates the symptoms of intolerance to certain substances, but also eliminates the immediate cause of the allergic reaction - allergens that have entered the body. Polysorb is often prescribed for gestosis and toxicosis during pregnancy.
Advantages of enterosorbents in the treatment of allergies:
Polysorb has an increased ability to absorb protein molecules. This circumstance determines its usefulness in the treatment of allergic diseases. After all, most allergens are protein in nature. Polysorb also:
Polysorb has a high speed of action - sorbent particles begin to act within 4 minutes after entering the gastrointestinal tract.
The use of Polysorb for allergic diseases contributes to:
Symptoms of gastrointestinal poisoning usually include fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, abdominal pain, and a feeling of weakness. There is a violation of the water-salt balance, and acute dehydration may develop. Polysorb MP is able to help the patient, regardless of the cause of poisoning. Of course, if toxins have already penetrated the blood, then the medicine will be powerless. However, in most cases, toxins penetrate the bloodstream gradually, remaining in the gastrointestinal tract for a long time. During this period, Polysorb MP is able to neutralize the remains of toxic substances by absorbing them.
Diarrhea, or, in common parlance, diarrhea, in most cases is the body’s reaction to the penetration of pathogenic bacteria or viruses into the gastrointestinal tract, as well as to the toxins they release. Such penetration can occur due to poor quality food, failure to comply with personal hygiene rules, etc.
For infectious diseases, the use of enterosorbents is not only a pathogenetic method of treatment, but also an etiological one. This is due to the fact that Polysorb MP directly affects the cause of intestinal infections. It is able to absorb all pathogens and toxins that cause diarrhea. However, we should not forget that Polysorb also promotes the removal of beneficial microflora from the gastrointestinal tract, so taking this sorbent must be alternated with taking probiotics.
Some overweight people use enterosorbents to lose weight. Polysorb MP is often used for this. In this case, it is recommended to adhere to the daily dosage of 2 tsp. for 2 weeks. However, it is necessary to remember here that enterosorbents can only be used as one of the components of an integrated approach to this problem. In addition to taking sorbents, it is also necessary to change the diet and increase physical activity. And the constant and uncontrolled use of sorbents can only cause harm, since not only toxins will be removed from the body, but also substances vital for the body.
The drug is prescribed to adults based on a daily dosage of 0.1-0.2 g/kg body weight (6-12 g). It is recommended to take Polysorb MP 3-4 times a day. The duration of treatment is determined based on the severity and type of the disease. For acute intoxications, the duration of the course can be 3-5 days, for chronic intoxications and allergic diseases - 10-14 days. The doctor may also prescribe a second course of treatment after 2-3 weeks.
When determining dosage in children, you can use a table that is based on the patient's weight. Its use is relevant for the normal course of most diseases for which Polysorb is prescribed. The table for dosing the drug looks like this:
For convenience, the volume of the drug is measured with spoons. One teaspoon of the dry substance Polysorb, filled so that the powder protrudes slightly upward, contains approximately one gram of medicine, and a tablespoon filled in a similar way contains three grams. Knowing this ratio, dosing this sorbent is quite simple. The term “approximately” in the dosage of Polysorb should not cause concern. The characteristics of silicon dioxide exclude the possibility of overdose with this medication. However, the maximum permissible dosage, which is 330 mg/kg of body weight, should not be exceeded.
An important factor in the use of this sorbent is the need to use it in dissolved form. Polysorb should not be consumed dry. It is recommended to use ordinary water at room temperature as a solvent. The use of non-carbonated mineral water is allowed. Children can be given the drug dissolved in milk, fruit drinks, juices (without pulp), and compotes.
The drug must be prepared in advance so that the suspension is fresh at the time of administration. It is best to drink the suspension 1 hour before meals.
In addition, the manufacturer of Polysorb provides fairly clear instructions for using the drug for various diseases. This recommendation does not exclude the need for exclusively medical prescription of the sorbent (self-medication is unacceptable), but at the same time it allows you to navigate the intricacies of its use. These instructions for use look like this:
| Pathology | Dosage of the drug | Nuances of use | Number of appointments per day | Duration of therapy |
| Allergic reactions to food | Taking the drug should be combined with a meal or Polysorb should be given immediately after a meal. | Three times a day. | Up to two weeks. | |
| Allergic reactions of a chronic nature or seasonal allergies (recurrent urticaria, hay fever, atopic diseases) | The drug is dosed according to the table with the patient’s body weight. | Polysorb is taken immediately before meals. | Three times a day. | Up to two weeks. td> |
| Acute food or drug allergies | Gastric lavage with a 1% solution of Polysorb (10 g/l), then orally in normal dosages. | Gastric lavage is performed once. | 3 | Before the onset of clinical effect. |
| Atopic dermatitis, allergic bronchial asthma, eczema, psoriasis | Polysorb is dosed according to the table with the patient’s body weight. | Between meals and medications. | 3 | Up to 3 weeks. |
| Acne (pimples) | Usually 3 g. It is better to check the exact dosage of Polysorb with a specialist - dermatologist | Between meals and medications. It is also possible to treat acne with a face mask made from the drug. | 3 | Up to 3 weeks |
| Poisoning of various origins | With this diagnosis, Polysorb is prescribed for gastric lavage. To do this, 10-12 grams of powder are diluted in a liter of water and a classic rinse is done. The drug is also prescribed orally at the rate of 0.1-0.15 g/kg body weight 2-3 times a day (for adults). For children, use the dosage table. | Washing in case of poisoning is mainly one-time. | Three times a day. | Up to five days. |
| Infectious lesions of the gastrointestinal tract | Treatment with Polysorb is carried out as part of complex therapy. | During the first 5 hours after the start of treatment, Polysorb is taken every hour, starting from the second day - four times a day. | 7-10 days. | |
| Viral hepatitis | In adults – 0.1-0.2 g/kg, in children – according to the table with the patient’s body weight. | 3 times a day. | 7-10 days. | |
| Chronic renal failure | In adults – 0.1-0.2 g/kg, in children – according to the table with the patient’s body weight. | Polysorb is used as an element of complex therapy. | Up to 4 times a day. | 25-30 days, then a break of 2-3 weeks. |
| Toxicosis during pregnancy | The drug is dosed according to the table with the patient’s body weight. | Polysorb is taken before or after meals. The time gap between taking the suspension and food should be at least one hour. | Three times a day. | Up to two weeks. |

In parallel with such therapy, it is necessary to maximize fluid intake. | Five times a day. | Up to two days. |
| Preventive therapy for hangover syndrome | The drug is dosed according to the table with the patient’s body weight. | The dose of Polysorb is used before drinking alcohol, after stopping it and the next morning. | Three times per course. | Two days. |
| Preventive therapy for people with harmful living or working conditions | The drug is dosed according to the table with the patient’s body weight. | Polysorb is taken before or after meals. The time gap between taking the suspension and food should be at least one hour. | Three times a day. | Up to two weeks. |
Poisoning, infection with viruses and bacteria, and allergic reactions are much more dangerous for children than for adults. Therefore, the drug is very often used in pediatric practice.
Due to its good tolerability and the absence of toxic components, the drug can be used to treat children, including newborns and infants.
Infants should be given approximately 1 tsp. Polysorb per day. This volume is best divided into 3-4 doses (in the morning, at lunch, at 18-19 in the evening and for the baby).
However, if poisoning occurs, it is best to dissolve 2 tbsp. in a glass of water and give them to the child to drink at one time.
At 2-3 years of age, problems may arise with taking the drug, since the child may refuse to drink the suspension. In this case, it can be added to the child’s favorite dish or drink (juice, jelly, cream soup, compote).
Despite the fact that Polysorb MP is a safe drug, you should consult a doctor before using it in children. This is especially true when it comes to the treatment of allergic reactions.
Advantages of Polysorb over other enterosorbents when used in children:
Compared with traditional methods of therapy (including taking antiviral and antibacterial agents) for intestinal infections in children, combination therapy using Polysorb and taking etiotropic drugs has the following advantages:
There are few situations in which you should not take the drug, and most of them are associated with severe gastrointestinal diseases, the symptoms of which may intensify due to the effects of the drug.
Polysorb is not prescribed for:
If you are hypersensitive to the active substance, you must stop taking the drug.
The drug is not absorbed into the systemic circulation and therefore does not have a negative effect on the fetus. For this reason, the drug is approved for use by pregnant women and mothers breastfeeding their children. It is important not to exceed the permissible doses and recommended duration of treatment.
The drug also has few side effects, and the frequency of all of them falls into the “rare” and “very rare” categories. Taking this sorbent may be accompanied by:
To prevent constipation when taking the drug, you should increase the amount of water consumed.
There was no effect of the drug on the speed of psychomotor reactions and the ability to concentrate.
There are no known cases of overdose when using the drug. However, it is not recommended to exceed the maximum permissible dosage of 0.3 g/kg body weight.

Medicine Polysorb MP(hereinafter Polysorb) is a universal active sorbent. Polysorb perfectly binds various toxic substances and microorganisms when passing through the organs of the digestive system (stomach and intestines). This sorbent is universal because it is capable of binding and removing metabolic products, microbial toxins, food allergens, drugs, poisons, etc. from the human body.Today, the drug Polysorb is produced under the official name "Polysorb MP", but the letters "MP" are often omitted for ease of pronunciation. Therefore, Polysorb and Polysorb MP are the same drug, which should be distinguished from Polysorb VP, which is a variant of the drug for use in veterinary medicine.
Polysorb has a huge sorption capacity, thanks to which it is able to bind three times more toxins compared to aluminum-magnesium silicates (Smecta), methylsilicic acids (Enterosgel, Sorbolong, Atoxil), lignins (Polyphepan, Lignosorb, Liferan) and activated carbon. Therefore, the scope of application of Polysorb is very wide. Since it perfectly relieves intoxication of any origin, it can be used as part of complex therapy for almost any pathology, including flu, colds, dermatoses, allergies, infections, etc.
Polysorb contains colloidal silicon dioxide as an active (actually sorbing) chemical substance. It does not contain any other components. Externally, Polysorb has the appearance of a white powder with a slight bluish tint. There is no smell. When Polysorb is stirred in water, a white suspension forms.
Polysorb is a sorbent of inorganic origin. According to its properties, the drug is not selective, that is, it is capable of sorbing various classes of substances. Due to its nonspecific activity, as well as high sorption capacity, Polysorb has the following main therapeutic effects: The actual detoxifying effect of Polysorb is due to its ability to bind a variety of substances, including toxins, and remove them out. That is, the basis of detoxification with Polysorb is its sorption effect.
What is Polysorb capable of binding? The sorbent binds and removes chemicals with toxic properties that come from the outside (exogenous) and are formed in the body itself (endogenous). The drug is able to effectively bind and remove the following toxins:
Developed countries consider it necessary to use Polysorb even for common flu or colds, since the drug effectively binds toxins and relieves painful symptoms of intoxication (muscle pain, weakness, apathy, dizziness, etc.). The experience of doctors in France has shown that the use of Polysorb in the treatment of colds, flu and acute respiratory viral infections reduces body temperature without taking antipyretic drugs, improves the subjective state, and also shortens the time required for recovery.
In principle, you can simply remember that Polysorb is suitable for relieving intoxication of any origin, so it can be taken for various diseases, poisoning, and allergies.
Polysorb is taken orally exclusively in the form of an aqueous suspension. To prepare it, stir the required amount of powder into 50–100 ml (1/4–1/2 cup) of water and drink quickly. Adults take Polysorb in the amount of 100–200 mg per 1 kg of weight, which is from 6 to 12 g of powder, which is mixed in water. Adults can take the drug in a maximum daily dosage of no more than 20 g. Having calculated the daily amount of sorbent, this dosage is divided into 3 to 4 doses per day. To make it convenient to calculate the dosage, you need to know that a full teaspoon (“heaped”) of powder contains 1 g of the substance, and a heaped tablespoon contains 2.5–3 g. When scooping the powder into a spoon from a jar, you must do this carefully, so as not to form a cloud of dust from Polysorb.
Polysorb is always taken one hour before meals or other medications, or one and a half hours after. However, if the sorbent is taken to relieve food allergies, then it must be taken immediately before or during meals. Do not prepare a large volume of suspension and store it in the refrigerator until the next dose. It is always best to prepare the suspension immediately before use.
The duration of the course of use of Polysorb is determined by the severity of the pathology and the speed of normalization of the person’s condition. For example, for the treatment of acute intoxications (alcohol, food poisoning, flu, etc.) it is quite enough to take the sorbent for 3 to 5 days. But for the treatment of allergic pathologies (for example, dermatitis, etc.) or chronic intoxications (for example, chronic renal failure, hepatitis, etc.) it is necessary to conduct courses lasting 10 - 14 days. Moreover, such courses must be repeated every 2–3 weeks. A break between courses of sorbent use of less than 2 weeks cannot be taken.
Let's consider the rules for using Polysorb for the treatment of various diseases.
First of all, it is necessary to remove the maximum amount of toxins and poisons that have entered the body. To do this, it is necessary to lavage the stomach with a Polysorb suspension at a concentration of 1–2% (1–2 g of powder per 100 ml of water). After gastric lavage, another 6 g of Polysorb is given orally after 3–4 hours. The remaining 6 g of powder is divided into several doses so that for the entire time remaining in the current day, the person receives the sorbent every 1 - 1.5 hours. Polysorb should be taken with water, tea or Regidron to replenish fluid lost as a result of diarrhea. If poisoning or food infection is severe, then gastric lavage is repeated at intervals of 4 to 6 hours, continuing the manipulation until the person’s condition begins to improve. Along with gastric lavage, Polysorb is given orally at a dose of 2–3 g, 2–3 times a day.
On the second day after the start of treatment for poisoning or food infection, Polysorb is taken 4 times a day, 3 g. Then, depending on the person’s condition, the sorbent is canceled or the course of use is extended for another 3 to 5 days.
Treatment of developed atherosclerosis consists of a course of Polysorb 1.5 - 2.5 g 3 times a day for 1 - 1.5 months. Such courses of treatment are carried out continuously, maintaining an interval of 1 month between them. Prevention of the development of atherosclerosis consists of using Polysorb 1.5 - 2 g 3 times a day for 1 month. These preventive courses are repeated with an interval of at least 1 month between them. It is especially important to conduct regular preventive courses for people who have high cholesterol levels in the blood.
The use of Polysorb in long courses, that is, longer than 14 days, can lead to a deficiency of calcium and some vitamins, since the process of their absorption into the blood from the intestinal lumen is disrupted. In this case, it is necessary to take multivitamin preparations and calcium prophylactically or take a break between courses of up to 14 days of taking Polysorb MP for at least 2-3 weeks.
If signs of intoxication develop (headache, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, fever, etc.), the required amount of the drug is shaken in water (half or a quarter of a glass), and the child is given a fresh suspension to drink. Polysorb is given 1 hour before meals or other medications, or 1.5 hours after. For ease of dosing of the drug, the following ratios can be used:
Table for calculating the daily dose of Polysorb MP depending on the patient’s body weight
Typically, children are given Polysorb according to the following scheme. A single dosage is given 5 times every hour, from the second and subsequent days - a single dosage is given 3-4 times a day.
Polysorb is used from birth. For infants, it can be diluted in expressed milk immediately before use. For older children, you can dilute the powder in juice without pulp or compote, or mineral water before use.
Some experts recommend Enterosgel for infants, which can be given from 1 month. Enterosgel is a selective sorbent, and it will not disturb the already unstable and weak microflora of the child’s intestines.
Pregnant women can use Polysorb freely, since the drug does not have a negative effect on the health of the expectant mother and child. Only when using the sorbent for more than 14 days should you take additional multivitamins and calcium (only after examining a doctor and assessing test results, the doctor should prescribe them), since the sorbent binds and removes these necessary elements. Pregnant women should not take Polysorb for long courses. Situationally, that is, occasionally, pregnant women and nursing mothers can use Polysorb for the treatment of poisoning, food and intestinal infections, and allergic reactions. Dosages for pregnant women are exactly the same as for adults. That is, women should drink 2–4 g of powder 3 times a day, 1 hour before meals and taking other medications. The duration of therapy is determined by the rate of disappearance of intoxication symptoms. Usually, using Polysorb for 10 to 14 days is sufficient.
Separately, it is worth noting the possibility of using Polysorb by pregnant women for the treatment and prevention of gestosis and toxicosis. To treat gestosis and toxicosis, women take 3 g powder 3 times a day for 10 to 14 days. To prevent gestosis and toxicosis, you can take Polysorb 2.5 - 3 g, 3 times a day, for two weeks. Prevention of gestosis and toxicosis can be carried out periodically, taking a break between courses of treatment for at least 3 weeks. After treating gestosis or toxicosis, it is reasonable to take a prophylactic course of Polysorb after 3 weeks to prevent the recurrence of these pregnancy complications.
At home, to quickly relieve an acute allergic reaction, it is reasonable to prepare a Polysorb suspension in the following ratio: dissolve 10 g of powder in 1 liter of water. Then this suspension is administered into the intestines in the form of an enema so that the sorbent binds the maximum amount of allergens and toxins and removes them from the body. After this, the drug is taken orally at 2.5 - 3 g 3 times a day until the symptoms of an allergic reaction go away. This usually happens within 5 – 10 days. Polysorb is effective in the treatment of the following acute allergic reactions:
Acne appears due to a number of factors, among which digestive disorders are of great importance. Poor nutrition, dysbacteriosis, and the accumulation of toxins in the intestines contribute to the appearance of acne. Therefore, Polysorb sorbent is used as an effective remedy that can cleanse the intestines and the entire digestive tract of toxins and prevent their further absorption into the blood. To treat pimples and acne, Polysorb is taken in a course of 3 g for 2 to 3 weeks, 3 times a day. As a result of this course of therapy, the number of rashes is significantly reduced, their severity and the intensity of the inflammatory process are reduced. After the course, take a break for 1 week, and repeat it again. That is, to get a good effect, you need to take two courses lasting 2 - 3 weeks, with a break between them of 1 week.
Polysorb can be used to treat acne not only internally, but also externally, making face masks from it.
Cleansing masks should be done 1-2 times a week for oily or combination skin, and 1 time every 10 days for dry and normal skin. Such masks can be made regularly, over a long period of time.
So, to prepare the mask, take 1 g of Polysorb powder and add a tablespoon of water. Mix everything thoroughly to obtain a homogeneous creamy mass. Apply the resulting mass in a thin, even layer to the skin of the face and neck, leaving the area around the mouth and eyes untouched. Leave the mask on for 15 – 30 minutes, then rinse gently with warm water. After the Polysorb cleansing mask, it is recommended to apply a nourishing cream to the skin.
Such cleansing masks from Polysorb, when used regularly, contribute to the complete disappearance of acne and rashes, eliminating oily shine and acquiring a good complexion.
Polysorb can be used to remove toxins and normalize digestion during weight loss. However, it is worth remembering that Polysorb can only help you lose weight if you yourself make an effort to do so. The drug itself will not turn a fat woman into a thin woman. You should know that a course of using the sorbent with the same menu will allow you to remove several extra kilograms (from 2 to 5 kg) by cleansing the intestines and improving the digestion process. But in combination with a diet, Polysorb can greatly help the matter, since it will accelerate the removal of fat cell breakdown products and will not allow them to be absorbed back into the blood. Women note that a diet with Polysorb allows them to achieve 1.5 times better results compared to food restriction alone. That is, if, only by following a diet, you manage to lose 5 kg, then the combination of diet + Polysorb allows you to lose 7 - 8 kg. For the purpose of losing weight, Polysorb should be taken for 10 to 14 days. To do this, two teaspoons of powder are diluted in half a glass of water and taken twice a day. To improve results, it is recommended to follow any suitable diet. Then you can take a break for 1 week and repeat the 10-day course of taking the drug without following a diet, which will consolidate the achieved effect and help remove an additional 1 to 3 kg of weight.
The sorbent rarely causes adverse reactions. Constipation may sometimes become worse in people who are prone to it. This can be avoided by drinking more fluid – up to 3 liters per day.
Using Polysorb for long periods can lead to a deficiency of vitamins and calcium in the body, since the sorbent will bind and remove these necessary and beneficial substances. Therefore, to prevent vitamin deficiency and calcium deficiency, you should take appropriate medications or dietary supplements.
Today, Polysorb has only analogues on the domestic market - that is, drugs that also belong to the class of sorbents, but contain a different active substance. So, the following drugs are sorbent analogues of Polysorb:
