Polysorb is a drug whose main therapeutic effect is the removal of toxins of various origins (bacterial, food, infectious, etc.). This article will tell you how to take Polysorb for the flu, and whether it will help you overcome a cold at all.
Polysorb is often used to treat influenza, colds and ARVI
Release forms, composition and dosages
To date, Polysorb is available in only one dosage form - powder for the preparation of a suspension for oral administration.
. 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. 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.
Guide to action
The correct use of Polysorb for cleansing depends on many subjective factors. For example, if the only purpose of cleansing is to get rid of acne, it is wiser to make a mask with Polysorb in parallel with the course of treatment. To cleanse the skin and make it more delicate, it is not necessary to drink sorbent at all, since soft peeling will give a faster effect.
If the goal is to restore normal digestion, then along with an attempt to cleanse the intestines, it is necessary to change diet and physical activity - otherwise the effect will be short-lived. Although a couple of extra pounds will most likely go away. How much Polysorb will be needed for weight loss? Exactly the same amount as for cleansing, since weight loss is a side effect and not a guaranteed result.
Using the sorbent together with laxatives has zero effect, since it takes time to draw poisons and toxins into silicon dioxide grains, and when using laxatives, Polysorb does not have time to produce the desired effect.
Another risk is constipation from the sorbent. As a rule, they occur if the patient consumes too little water during the day - along with toxins, Polysorb also binds water molecules, otherwise its effect would be traumatic. Therefore, when carrying out cleansing, it is worth consuming more liquid.
It is also important to remember that cleansing with Polysorb allows you to get rid of dangerous and harmful substances that have accumulated due to a not very healthy lifestyle. And it is within our power not to accumulate new portions of poisons, or at least to reduce their amount in our lives. And, perhaps, the transition to a less toxic lifestyle is the main task of the two-week cleansing course.
Therapeutic effects and action
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: 1.
Sorption action.
2.
Detoxifying effect.
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:
- pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi);
- toxins released by pathogenic microorganisms;
- foreign antigens;
- food allergens;
- medicines;
- poisons;
- salts of heavy metals;
- radionuclides;
- alcohol and its breakdown products.
In addition to the toxic substances listed above, Polysorb perfectly binds metabolic products formed in the human body itself. Often, an excess of these metabolic products leads to the development of unpleasant symptoms of intoxication and various diseases. So, Polysorb is capable of removing the following endogenous substances, which are metabolic products:
- bilirubin;
- urea;
- cholesterol;
- lipid complexes;
- biological substances that cause the development of endotoxemia.
The versatility of its binding ability allows Polysorb to be used to eliminate intoxication of almost any origin - from poisoning to severe pathologies. This sorbent is an excellent remedy that is included in the complex therapy of a huge number of diseases in Europe and the USA. The use of Polysorb can significantly reduce the number and volume of medications needed for high-quality treatment of many diseases.
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.
Intoxication due to colds: features of manifestation
When you have a cold, your body is attacked by viruses. The immune system fights back against pathogenic microflora. As a result, a large amount of toxic substances accumulates, which worsen your health.
Viruses that cause colds and flu enter the bloodstream and can disrupt the nervous system and even reach the brain. This development of the disease leads to complications and disruptions in the functioning of systems and organs. This can also provoke an exacerbation of chronic pathologies.
Polysorb for ARVI is indicated for complicated and moderate course of the disease.
These may be the following symptoms:
- decreased appetite;
- sleep problems;
- headache;
- heat;
- weakness;
- muscle pain;
- apathy, etc.
The severity of these cold symptoms depends on the type of cold that causes the disease and your overall health. As the body recovers, the temperature drops and symptoms subside.
Intoxication during a cold manifests itself most clearly during the rapid development of the disease. Typically, the toxic effect from an attack by pathological microorganisms remains at a high level for about three days.
If a bacterial infection is added to a viral infection, the severity of intoxication symptoms may last longer. In this case, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea may additionally occur.
Polysorb (Polysorb MP) - instructions for use
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.
Acute poisoning or food infection (“I ate something wrong”)
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.
How to drink Polysorb to cleanse the body
Polysorb is quite often used to cleanse the body. As soon as the drug gets inside, it begins to bind all harmful substances and remove them along with feces, while itself being excreted in the same way.
To get a good effect, you need to know how to drink Polysorb for cleaning:
- Polysorb is diluted with warm water in the following dosage: 1 g of powder per 10 kg of weight, which forms a white suspension. The powder is first divided into portions, which are diluted just before eating. It should be remembered that an opened package is not stored for long. The suspension should be drunk immediately after preparation; it cannot be stored.
- Each dose of powder is diluted in 50 ml of water and should be drunk an hour before meals.
- An adult can take no more than 20 g of the drug per day; for children, the dose is selected strictly by weight, with the child’s weight divided by 10, which will serve as a single dose, which is allowed to be taken up to 4 times a day.
- For complete cleansing you need to take medicine
- Dry, undiluted powder should not be taken, as it will irritate the mucous membrane of the digestive organs.
Polysorb for children - instructions for use
Polysorb can be given to children from birth. In most cases, the drug is used to treat various poisonings, food and intestinal infections, diathesis or allergy-like rashes, intestinal dysbiosis, which children suffer from very often. That is why we will consider in detail how to properly use Polysorb at home to treat these conditions in children.
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:
- 1 heaped teaspoon contains 1 g of powder;
- 1 heaped tablespoon contains 2.5 - 3 g of powder.
The dosage of Polysorb for children is calculated individually based on body weight. To do this, use a simple formula: divide the child’s weight by 10
. The resulting figure will show the maximum permissible single dose of Polysorb. A single dose for a child can be used 3-4 times a day.

Features of using sorbent for colds
The binding capacity of sorbents imposes special requirements on the administration of medications. These drugs must be separated for 1-2 hours from meals and other medications. Otherwise, Polysorb adsorbs not only harmful, but also beneficial substances.
This will lead to the fact that the therapeutic effect of treatment with a number of medications for colds (fever medications, anti-inflammatory drugs, etc.) can be significantly reduced. And when combined with diuretics, it can disrupt the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
The duration of taking sorbents during a cold is determined depending on the degree of intoxication. For mild intoxication, 3-5 days may be sufficient; for severe intoxication, it may take more time - up to 2 weeks.
Since during long-term treatment of a cold with a sorbent it can bind not only substances harmful to the body, but also useful ones, after 14 days it is necessary to take a break from treatment with Polysorb. If medical indications require it, the course can be repeated after a while.
For your information! Additionally, during the treatment of colds with enterosorbents, patients may be prescribed multivitamin complexes with calcium to maintain the body.

Every person has at least once encountered the problem of intestinal discomfort. There are a huge number of reasons for this unhealthy condition - from eating poorly washed fruits or vegetables to the penetration of bacteria into the body. To get rid of unpleasant sensations and quickly get back on track, it is necessary to remove harmful substances from the body. Today, a very popular drug for various poisonings and intestinal disorders is Polysorb, a relatively inexpensive drug that has won the trust of millions of people due to its rapid positive effect in treatment.
What does Polysorb help with?
The drug has a wide range of applications. Let's look at the most common reasons for using the drug.
They usually appear 10-12 hours after eating spoiled foods. Often accompanied by diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea.
2. Removing toxic substances from the body.
When toxins enter the body, the first symptoms are fever, pale skin, drowsiness and fatigue, rashes on the body, and bad breath.

How to use, instructions for use of Polysorb, dosage
Polysorb should be used strictly according to the instructions, depending on the problem that needs to be resolved with the help of the drug.
1. Use for poisoning.
When a person eats a spoiled product, toxins quickly begin to accumulate in the body, so the first action in case of poisoning is to remove toxic substances and block their further spread.
To do this, you first need to cleanse your stomach: dissolve 2 grams of Polysorb in one glass of water and take it immediately, and after 15 minutes induce vomiting.
After this, take Polysorb every 2-3 hours until the dry substance dosage of 6 grams is used.
Next, the remaining daily amount, based on the instructions, is divided into parts so that it is possible to take the sorbent in small quantities every 2 hours.
In addition to using Polysorb, it is necessary to take Regidron, since in case of poisoning the body loses moisture and becomes severely dehydrated, which negatively affects health.
The day after poisoning, Polysorb should be taken 4 grams about four times a day.
Treatment in the following days depends on the state of health and can be continued for several more days.
2. Use for toxicosis during pregnancy.
Many women in the first stages feel a constant feeling of nausea and experience the urge to vomit.
To alleviate the condition, it is recommended to follow a few simple rules:
Don't get out of bed abruptly.
Ventilate the room more often.
Avoid eating junk food - fried, fatty, too salty, sweet.
Do not overeat, but eat small portions every 3 - 4 hours.
If, even if all the described measures are followed, there is no improvement, you are allowed to start taking Polysorb in an amount of up to 20 grams per day.
The recommended dosage should be divided into several doses. After two days of use, the condition usually normalizes and toxicosis disappears.
Infectious diseases are treated with a large dosage of the drug - a spoonful of dry substance in half a glass of water every hour.
You must take at least six doses of the drug per day. On the second day, the number of doses is reduced to 3-4 per day. The course of treatment should last about ten days.
It is worth noting that even after recovery, a person can be infectious for about two more weeks.
In this case, the drug is used as a detoxifying agent in the dose specified in the instructions. Take the drug in the first week of the disease.
To get rid of unpleasant consequences after excessive alcohol consumption, on the first day of a hangover it is recommended to take a solution of 2 tablespoons of Polysorb flakes diluted in half a glass of water.
This highly concentrated drink must be drunk at least five times, with an interval of 60 minutes.
On the second day, taking the drug should be continued, even if the hangover symptoms are relieved. This is necessary to completely rid the body of alcohol toxins.
By the way, Polysorb not only helps relieve a hangover, but also avoids it. To do this, you just need to take a dose of Polysorb a couple of hours before drinking alcohol. This measure will also help prevent you from getting drunk too quickly.
