In modern conditions, every person strives to look attractive. Proper weight loss lies not only in diets based on comprehensive cleansing of the body and heavy physical activity, but also in the use of a high-quality drug. Harmful substances (toxins, waste) can be eliminated using the effective and safe drug Polysorb.
In order to produce a high-quality drug, specialists used exclusively natural products, for example, silicon dioxide. As for the absorbing properties, thanks to silicon particles they are 150 times higher than the activated carbon we are used to.
Polysorb belongs to the new generation of enterosorbents, is highly active and removes hazardous substances from the body in a short period of time, including allergens of various natures.
Release form
Polysorb is sold in cans, is a white powdery product without any odor, intended for diluting suspensions.
To date, Polysorb is available in only one dosage form. This is just a regular powder for preparing an oral suspension. For ease of use, the powder is sold in plastic jars of 12, 25 and 50 g and in double-layer plastic bags of 3 g (single dosage for an adult). These packaging dosage options allow you to purchase the optimal amount of the drug. Polysorb contains colloidal silicon dioxide as an active (actually sorbing) chemical substance. The drug no longer contains 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.
Mechanism of action
Polysorb is created on the basis of silicon dioxide; it is a representative of non-selective enterosorbents of inorganic nature. The drug has an enveloping and binding effect. It removes dangerous substances of various origins from the small and large intestines. The sorbent is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is excreted unchanged through the rectum. By removing toxic particles, it does not affect the patient’s metabolism and does not lead to vitamin deficiency.
The effectiveness of the drug is due to its effect on the cause of poor health, and not on symptomatic manifestations. If you use the remedy immediately after the symptoms of poisoning occur, you can stop the intoxication in just a few hours and avoid complications.
When mixed with water, the drug particles contribute to the formation of a spatial structure that allows them to bind viruses, bacteria, toxins, allergens, that is, everything that has a relatively large molecular weight.
Getting rid of excess cholesterol, fat complexes and urea, which lead not only to excess weight, serious heart disease, but also to diabetes mellitus, as well as joint pain, occurs thanks to silicon dioxide. By absorbing and removing toxins, the drug promotes the absorption of not only the nutrients found in food, but also the beneficial components of other vitamin complexes and medications used together with Polysorb.
Application
Polysorb is prescribed for a wide range of pathologies:
- For the treatment of a wide range of intoxications, both acute and chronic, as well as for the prevention of their occurrence.
- In case of drug overdose, allergic reactions to medications
- Microbial intestinal diseases, purulent and purulent-septic infections, accompanied by severe symptoms of intoxication
- Poisoning with ethanol and its vapors, alkaloids, salts of heavy metals, poisons of inorganic origin
- All manifestations of food allergies
- When bilirubin increases under the influence of viral hepatitis
- When living or working in places with poor environmental conditions, it is used as a preventive measure.
- Chemical industry workers are prescribed Polysorb to prevent poisoning
Polysorb can also be used as an external remedy to cleanse the skin, as well as burns or abrasions.
Instructions for use for various diseases:
For food allergies, the drug must be taken 3 times a day before meals for 3-5 days;
For chronic allergies and urticaria – 3 times a day before meals, 2 weeks;
In case of poisoning – 3 times a day, 5 days;
For intestinal infections (the drug is part of a complex treatment) 3-4 times a day for a week;
When cleansing the body - 3 times a day, an hour before or after meals for two weeks.
Polysorb is taken orally exclusively in the form of an aqueous suspension. To prepare it, you need to allocate a certain amount of powder, which is indicated in the instructions. Therefore, first you should thoroughly shake the bottle in 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 twenty g. Having calculated the daily amount of sorbent, this dosage is divided into 3 to 4 doses per day. To conveniently 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.
The new generation drug is recommended to be taken one hour before meals or other medications. However, if the drug is prescribed for the purpose of relieving 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. Now, we should consider the rules for using Polysorb for the treatment of various diseases.
Instructions for use
Polysorb MP is used orally, as evidenced by the name of the drug itself.
The powder is prescribed in the form of a suspension: to prepare it, you need to stir the dry substance in a glass half or a quarter filled with clean water. You must drink the medicine immediately: the suspension settles to the bottom, which is why the active substance does not enter the gastrointestinal tract.
Important: Polysorb MP should not be taken undiluted. Due to its light dusty structure, the powder enters the respiratory tract, causing coughing and burning of the mucous membrane. If you accidentally inhaled silicon dioxide colloid, drink 200-400 ml of water, ventilate the room, and if bitterness in your mouth and cough persist, consult a therapist or pulmonologist.
Your doctor will tell you how to take Polysorb correctly and what dosage to use.
According to the instructions for use, the product must be offered to the patient:
- one hour before meals or 90 minutes after meals;
- course, which is determined by the severity of the disease and the body’s response to the drug.
The packaging of Polysorb MP provides a detailed dosage diagram for the powder depending on the body weight and age of the patient:
- in an adult, the amount of the drug per day is calculated based on the formula 0.333 per kilogram of body weight;
- children are prescribed according to the table in the instructions for use.
For example, for a three-year-old child weighing 14 kg, the pediatrician will prescribe a teaspoon of powder per dose, and for an adult patient weighing 70 kg, the doctor will recommend 20 g of the drug per day (1-2 tablespoons per dose three times a day).
The frequency and duration of administration is determined by a specialist, based on the characteristics of the pathology, therefore, before using the drug, you must consult a doctor.
Side effects
They appear extremely rarely, if the rules for taking the drug are not followed. Patients may complain of pain during bowel movements and constipation. In order to avoid side effects, it is necessary to thoroughly stir the drug in water before use, and drink plenty of liquid throughout the course of treatment.
DOCTOR'S ADVICE: Polysorb constipation is sometimes observed with long-term use of the drug. In these cases, experts advise taking calcium or multivitamin preparations for prevention in order to cleanse the body. When using modern development, side effects in the form of an allergic reaction, constipation and dyspepsia are rarely observed.

Side effects of Polysorb
- local allergic reactions (increased skin itching, urticaria);
- disruption of the normal functioning of the digestive system (dyspepsia, constipation);
- occasional dry mouth.
If any of the above side effects develop, it is recommended to temporarily stop further use of the drug, and also be sure to consult a doctor!
In this article, we looked at what Polysorb helps with, as well as how to drink it correctly.
Directions for use and dosage
The required dose of the drug is calculated based on the patient’s weight and the severity of intoxication. The drug is intended for the preparation of a suspension; it is prohibited to take Polysorb in a dry state. The amount of Polysorb per dose is diluted in 0.25 or 0.5 glasses of liquid.
One full teaspoon contains approximately 1 gram of active substance, the average single dose for an adult is 2.5-3 g. The advantage of the drug is that there cannot be an overdose, this allows the drug to be given to children from the first days of life. The average dose for an adult is about 20 g per day.
Before using Polysorb, the product must be thoroughly dissolved in water. Never take it dry. This may lead to adverse consequences. The amount of weight loss powder consumed depends on the patient’s weight, so there cannot be an overdose.
Properties of the drug
The new generation product is a powder made from inorganic silicon dioxide, which has a powerful detoxifying effect. The medication quite easily penetrates the gastrointestinal tract and removes all dangerous and harmful substances, including:
- bacteria and their metabolic products;
- other pathogenic microorganisms;
- carcinogens;
- heavy toxins and metals;
- medicinal derivatives with toxic activity;
- toxic compounds;
- food allergens;
- radionuclides, free radicals;
- ethanol and its vapors.
A distinctive property of “Polysorb” is its ability to cleanse the body’s structures of excess derivatives obtained as a result of metabolic processes, for example:
- urea;
- bilirubin;
- cholesterol;
- lipid compounds;
- metabolites with teratogenic activity.
Pharmacological properties
The powder is endowed with powerful detoxification abilities, and its therapeutic effect is realized only in the gastrointestinal tract, removing all harmful and dangerous compounds such as pathogens, toxins, drugs or allergens, poisons or alcoholic metabolites. The inorganic sorbent is not selective, therefore it removes different classes of harmful compounds.
The detoxifying properties of Polysorb are determined by its ability to bind various components, such as toxins or poisons, evacuating them along with feces and urine.
The medication removes toxic and chemical compounds of endo- and exogenous origin such as:
- Pathogenic flora and the metabolites it secretes;
- Medicines or allergenic pathogens;
- Antigens of foreign origin;
- Poisons or metal salts;
- Alcohol or products resulting from its breakdown;
- Radionuclides, etc.
Moreover, the powder binds material exchange products formed inside the human body, for example, urea or bilirubin, cholesterol deposits or lipid complexes, biosubstances that provoke endotoxicosis.
The binding abilities of Polysorb allow it to be successfully used against intoxications of any origin - from banal food poisoning to serious pathological conditions.
For allergies
To reduce the symptoms of food allergies, you should take Polysorb three times a day, during meals, the course of treatment will last from one to two weeks.
To reduce skin manifestations of allergies, including chronic and hay fever, a two-week course of the drug is required. The drug is taken three times a day, an hour before meals or an hour after meals.
In case of severe chronic allergies, or in case of development of bronchial asthma, a three-week course may be required. With adequate and fairly complete comprehensive treatment, improvements were noted in 90% of patients.
How to cleanse the body with Polysorb
Despite the fact that Polysorb is not capable of harming the body, it is better to take the medicine after consulting a doctor, while strictly observing the dosage of the drug.
Basic rules for using Polysorb:
- Use only freshly prepared medicine and only in the form of an aqueous suspension.
- Drink either an hour before meals or an hour and a half after. During the same period, you should not take other medications, because they may reduce the effect of taking Polysorb.
- The number of doses should not exceed four times a day. The daily dosage for an adult is no more than 20 grams.
- Dilute the medicine with clean, cool water at the rate of 1 g of powder per 10 kg of weight. The average single dose is 3 g (one disposable sachet) - this is 3 teaspoons or one full tablespoon. A single dose is dissolved in 100 ml of water.
- It is possible to take a double dose of the drug in acute conditions - severe poisoning, alcohol intoxication, allergies.
- Polysorb is given to children in a dosage strictly calculated based on the child’s body weight: for a child up to 10 kg, one teaspoon per day is enough, for more than 30 g - a heaped teaspoon, for more than 40 kg - a couple of teaspoons. The course of treatment should not exceed 10 days.
- For preventive purposes, the medicine is taken immediately before meals, for a course of up to two weeks. Cleaning is necessary 3-4 times a year.
Preventive cleansing of the body with Polysorb should be carried out 2-3 times a year, especially if there is a tendency to eat junk food, frequent colds, or digestive disorders.
Important! It is strictly forbidden to use Polysorb in dry form, because taking dry medicine leads to inflammatory processes in the respiratory tract and irritation of the gastrointestinal mucosa.
Let's look at how to cleanse the body with Polysorb for various pathological conditions and diseases.
For allergies
To cleanse the body of allergens, thorough rinsing of the intestines and stomach is necessary. To do this, it is recommended, in addition to oral administration of the medicine, to do a cleansing enema - getting the sorbent directly into the intestines will help quickly neutralize toxins and harmful substances.
How to cleanse:
- Dissolve 10 g of powder in one liter of lukewarm water. Perform a cleansing enema.
- After rinsing, drink 6 g of sorbent three times a day until allergic symptoms are completely eliminated (up to 10 days).
Thus, Polysorb for allergies is used for rhinitis, Quincke's edema, and allergic skin rashes. Moreover, in the latter cases, you can use Polysorb to eliminate itching on the skin by applying wipes soaked in an aqueous suspension of the drug to the affected areas.
For acne
Since most skin diseases (including acne) appear in people as a result of intestinal contamination with harmful substances and toxins, many dermatologists advise taking a course of cleansing with adsorbents for problem skin.
A mask made from Polysorb suspension will help get rid of acne and give the skin elasticity and silkiness.
You need to drink Polysorb for acne for at least two weeks three times a day, with a single dose of one tablespoon (per half a glass of water).
It is also possible to use the suspension locally to get rid of acne and give the skin elasticity and silkiness. To do this, make a mask from Polysorb: one large spoon of powder is diluted in 200 ml of water and the resulting mass is applied to problem areas for 10-20 minutes daily.
For alcohol intoxication (hangover)
Poisoning by alcohol breakdown products can occur through abuse of alcoholic beverages, mixing different types of alcohol, or consuming low-quality alcohol.
In case of alcohol poisoning and a severe hangover, Polysorb should be taken in a single dose every 30 minutes until the condition improves, but no more than 6 times a day.
Polysorb will help get rid of the symptoms of alcohol poisoning
To prevent alcohol intoxication, avoid a hangover and severe intoxication, it is recommended to drink a glass of suspension (with two tablespoons of the drug) before the feast and drink the same dose after the end of the feast.
For parasitic infestations
Parasites in the body poison all organs and systems of the body with decay products, which causes severe toxic intoxication (the liver especially suffers).
To cleanse the body, drink Polysorb four times a day (an hour before meals), dissolving a large spoonful of powder in half a glass of water. For children, the dosage of the adsorbent should be calculated by the doctor, based on the severity of the helminthic infestation, the condition and weight of the small patient.
If you are overweight
Intestinal congestion is one of the most common causes of excess weight. A large accumulation of toxic endotoxins leads to serious disruptions in digestion - metabolic processes are disrupted and excess fat folds begin to appear.
Polysorb prevents absorption and removes residual fats in the intestines and bad cholesterol from the body, which helps to get rid of extra pounds
Polysorb helps you get rid of extra pounds better than any diet, because... prevents the absorption of residual fats in the intestines and harmful cholesterol, removing them from the body.
Polysorb for weight loss is taken in the dosages recommended by the instructions half an hour before meals, for a course of 10-14 days. You can conduct 3-4 similar courses per year.
Other cases
In addition to the listed cases, it is advisable to cleanse with Polysorb as part of complex therapy in the treatment of intestinal obstruction, psoriasis, infectious and viral diseases.
Polysorb is used for liver damage and hepatitis, when there is an increased level of bilirubin in the blood. The adsorbent helps remove this toxic element and therefore is successfully used as part of complex therapy for liver pathologies.
In pregnant women, the use of Posiorb can reduce the symptoms of toxicosis - therefore, expectant mothers are recommended to use the drug to remove toxic substances that are formed during fetal development. In this case, the dosage and duration of the course of treatment must be discussed with the doctor.
In case of poisoning
If highly active chemical compounds, including medications, enter the gastrointestinal tract, it is necessary to perform urgent gastric emptying. This can be done with the help of Polysorb. To do this, dissolve 2-3 grams of sorbent in water and give it to the victim to drink, after which it is necessary to wait 10 to 20 minutes and induce vomiting. After 2 hours, you need to take 6 grams, divide the rest of the daily dose of sorbent so that the time between doses does not exceed two hours.
To replenish lost fluid, drinking plenty of fluids is recommended; in addition to water, you can drink strong tea or Regidron solution, which will help restore electrolyte balance.
In case of poisoning with heavy metal salts, the dosage and treatment methods are prescribed by the doctor. Changing the timing of taking medications or the dose of the drug on your own is strictly prohibited!
Indications for use
- Acute and chronic intoxications of various origins;
- Acute intestinal infections of various etiologies, including dysbacteriosis, diarrheal syndrome of non-infectious origin, foodborne toxic infections (as part of complex treatment);
- Purulent-septic diseases with severe intoxication;
- Acute poisoning with toxic and potent substances, including salts of heavy metals, drugs, alkaloids, alcohol;
- Drug and food allergies;
- Hyperbilirubinemia (viral hepatitis, other jaundices), chronic renal failure (hyperazotemia).
Polysorb MP is also used as a preventative measure for workers in hazardous industries and residents of environmentally unfavorable regions.
For intestinal infections
In case of intoxication of a bacterial or viral nature, in the first two days the drug is taken at intervals of one hour, in subsequent days three to four times a day. Therapy lasts until symptoms disappear completely, on average from five days to one week.
If dysbiosis occurs due to long-term use of antibiotics, it is recommended to take Polysorb together with probiotics; this will help not only remove pathogenic microorganisms, but also stimulate the growth of normal microflora.
How to drink Polysorb while losing weight
Using Polysorb for 10-14 days allows you to lose from 2 to 8 kg. But this will happen provided that the patient monitors calorie intake and practices physical activity. It is also worth increasing the daily consumption of filtered water to 2.5-3 liters. This will not only prevent constipation, but also speed up the “cleaning” process. And, therefore, it’s faster to lose those extra pounds.
The regimen for taking the product for weight loss is the same as for an adult patient, one to two tablespoons of powder, divided into three to four times. When the drug is administered in a course lasting 10 or 14 days, a break is needed for a similar period of time. After this, therapy can be repeated.
Attention! Polysorb does not have “fat burning” properties and by itself cannot affect unpleasant deposits in the waist and hips. It only helps to remove harmful compounds from the body that negatively affect metabolism, as well as cleanse the intestines of fecal stones and other “deposits”. Therefore, taking the drug must be combined with an effective diet.
For pathologies of the liver and excretory system
For patients with such a pathology, a reduced glomerular filtration rate, as well as impaired liver function, a course lasting two weeks is indicated, since Polysorb binds and removes nitrogenous bases, urea salts, as well as bilirubin and some fractions of cholesterol, easing the load on the liver kidneys. Taking the drug can reduce symptoms such as swelling, itching, jaundice of the skin and mucous membranes, and improve the general condition of the patient.

How to prevent the development of atherosclerosis
Polysorb has the ability to bind and remove excess cholesterol. If there is a risk of developing atherosclerosis and in the initial stages of the disease, it is possible to achieve good results by taking Polysorb in courses of two weeks with a break of one and a half to two months.
Medical observation shows that when courses are repeated, the formation of atherosclerotic plaques on the walls of blood vessels stops. For greater effect, you must follow a diet selected by a specialist, avoid fatty meats and alcohol consumption.
To improve skin condition
A course of the drug rids the body of toxins accumulated during life, and also flushes out pathogenic microflora from the intestines. As a result, skin rashes are reduced, the general condition of the epidermis is improved, oiliness is normalized, and pores are narrowed.
Polysorb can be used as an external skin cleanser: as part of a mask or soft scrub, it will get rid of excess sebum and reduce the appearance of acne. Polysorb also cleanses pores and removes blackheads.
If psoriasis manifests itself, the duration of treatment will be two weeks with a month's break - this will help reduce itching and flaking, as well as even out skin color.
What does Polysorb MP help with: indications
- acute and chronic intoxication in children and adults of various etiologies
- acute intestinal infections (including food poisoning)
- diarrheal syndrome of non-infectious etiology
- intestinal dysbiosis (as part of combination therapy)
- purulent-septic conditions
- acute poisoning with potent and toxic substances (including drugs, ethanol, alkaloids, salts of heavy metals)
- food and drug allergies
- hyperbilirubinemia (including with viral hepatitis)
- hyperazotemia (including in chronic renal failure)
- living in environmentally unfavorable regions and working in hazardous production conditions (for the purpose of prevention).
If you are overweight
Taking Polysorb as a course allows you to remove excess cholesterol and improve metabolic processes in the body. This will lead to a loss of three to five kilograms of weight, improved intestinal motility and normalization of stool.
The combination of enterosorbent with an individually selected diet and dosed physical activity will help greatly accelerate the breakdown of adipose tissue and the removal of excess fat from the body through the gastrointestinal tract. An integrated approach will allow you to lose up to 8-9 kg in two weeks.
Polysorb during pregnancy
Polysorb has no contraindications during pregnancy or lactation. During pregnancy, under the supervision of your attending physician, you can take medicine to combat food poisoning, intestinal infections, and toxicosis.
It is recommended not to resort to long courses, as calcium deficiency may occur. If, for medical reasons, there is a need for regular intake, it is necessary to take preventive measures: take specialized vitamin complexes for the expectant mother, calcium supplements and dietary supplements.
