Description
Medical device.
Enterosgel is an inert hydrogel of silicon, porous globular structure (similar to a sponge) which selectively absorbs and eliminates only toxic molecules (both hexogeneous), of medium size and pathogenic microorganisms.
Indicated for symptomatic treatment of acute diarrhea and chronic diarrhea, associated with Irritable Intestine Syndrome (IBS).
Enterosgel is not absorbed and does not absorb essential nutrients such as amino acids, vitamins, mineral salts and protein molecules, including immunoglobulins. Oral intestinal adsorbent (enterosorbent) composed of an organic mineral able to absorb in the intestine some toxic and harmful substances (e.g. endotoxins and enterotoxins), which binds physically on its surface, reducing the frequency of intestinal movements and the duration of diarrhea. Enterosgel is expelled from the body with feces and thus removes toxins and adsorbed harmful substances, which can have a beneficial effect in the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea states from IBS.
It does not contain preservatives, dyes, gluten, fats, sugars, lactose, aromas, ingredients of vegetable or animal origin.

Mode of use
- Adults and children over 15 years: 15-22.5 g 3 times a day (15 g = 1 spoon) 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 between 1 and 6 years old: 5 g 3 times a day (5 g = 1 teaspoon) diluted in 50-100 ml of water (1-3 years: it is recommended to consult your doctor before using Enterosgel).
A sufficient supply of liquids is in any case necessary as part of the treatment to diarrhea.
Take Enterosgel 2 hours before or after meals or before or after the use of oral medicines.
Enterosgel is administered for 3-5 days in case of acute diarrhea and up to 21 days in case of chronic diarrhea. Before administration dilute the dose in water at room temperature. It is recommended to take sufficient amounts of liquids during treatment. At the beginning of the treatment of acute diarrhea (day 1) you can double the first dose and then continue with a single dose after each evacuation, from 3 to 6 times a day. On the first day a maximum of 8 doses.
During the treatment of chronic diarrhea, the dosage can be adjusted in order to adapt it to the consistency of the feces and to the frequency of the evacuations. It is possible to take up to double the dose 3 times a day if the feces are liquid or to reduce to a dose 1 time a day if the feces are normal. You can take up to 6 doses per day.
Interrupt treatment in the absence of evacuation for 1-2 days, increase water intake and continue treatment after evacuation.
