Fosfalyugel - a drug that neutralizes the acidic contents of the stomach. In addition, it has a slight anesthetic, shielding effect, protects the mucosa of the upper gastrointestinal tract against mechanical and chemical influences. Aluminium phosphate gel is used in various diseases of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum, as well as food poisoning.

The mechanism of action Fosfalyugel

Fosfalyugel (aluminum phosphate) is available as a 20% gel in bags of 16 and 20 g of the pharmaceutical company Astellas Pharma Europe BV (Netherlands). The drug has antacid (neutralized with hydrochloric acid), and enveloping the absorbent action, and also helps to reduce pain sensitivity.

A feature of antacid action Fosfalyugel is that it very quickly (within minutes) neutralizes the hydrochloric acid reduces the total gastric acidity and proteolytic (ability to digest proteins) activity of the digestive enzyme pepsin, but only up to a certain level. Then, the neutralization reaction is stopped and the current level of acidity is maintained for a long time. Thus, the full alkalinization of gastric juice does not occur, the acidity it is installed on a physiological level.

Fosfalyugel enveloping effect is manifested in the formation of the mucous membranes of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum mucoid protective layer. This protects the upper gastrointestinal tract by the action of hydrochloric acid, pepsin (enzyme-dissolving protein) and various toxic substances getting both outside (with food), and formed in the body as a result of metabolic disorders. Fosfalyugel also promotes mass food through the intestines.

Absorbent Fosfalyugel effect is manifested in the deposition on its surface, and is removed from the gastrointestinal tract of all harmful substances (infectious agents, toxins, etc.).

This Aluminium phosphate gel - it is a safe drug, it is hardly absorbed into the blood and does not cause a full alkalinization of gastric contents, so does not lead to the stimulation of hydrochloric acid secretion.

Indications and contraindications for use

Fosfalyugel taken orally. Depending on the disease the drug must be carried out in various ways.

Immediately after a meal at night and take a strong heartburn Aluminium phosphate gel:

• in inflammation of the esophagus associated with the throwing of acid stomach contents into the esophagus (reflux esophagitis);
• diaphragmatic hernia.

After 1-2 hours after meals and at pains:

• gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer.

For half an hour before meals:

• gastritis with normal or elevated secretion.
• in dyspepsia (indigestion), non-ulcer origin.

Morning and evening on an empty stomach:

• in functional bowel disease, accompanied by diarrhea Diarrhea (diarrhea) - a familiar nuisance .

Regardless of the meal and after gastric lavage:

• when food and drug poisoning, alcohol poisoning, and so on.

Admission Fosfalyugel Fosfalyugel - a cure for heartburn, belching and stomach pains   contraindicated in renal impairment, Alzheimer's disease, reduced salt content in the blood phosphorus, increased sensitivity to the drug. Be wary appoint Aluminium phosphate gel in the human liver.

Side effects Fosfalyugel

Fosfalyugel provides few side effects, and therefore it can be purchased over the counter without a prescription. But sometimes for prolonged use fosfalyuglya or when taking it in large doses appear phenomena such as nausea Nausea - there may be problems with the nervous system , Vomiting, change in taste, violations of the chair as constipation.

Calcium salts in large amounts excreted in the urine, which contributes to the formation of stones in the urinary tract. Excretion of calcium is also fraught with osteoporosis Osteoporosis - he threatens you?   - Increased bone fragility and tendency to fracture.

The aluminum content of the blood increases and this can adversely affect the condition of the brain - in his tissues appear metabolic disorders (encephalopathy).

Fosfalyugel - is an effective and safe drug. Given that the number of patients suffering from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, constantly increases (which is not least due to the growing neuro-mental stress and irregular meals), the demand for Aluminium phosphate gel will also grow. Despite the fact that this drug is sold without prescription in pharmacies, long-term regular use of it requires a doctor's advice.

Enterosgel - it is a preparation for oral administration, which is deposited on the surface of the body and removes all toxins, leaving the trace elements and beneficial micro-organisms. Therefore enterosgel (unlike, for example, activated carbon) can be used long courses.

How does enterosgel

Enterosgel - is an adsorbent which is available as a gel and paste for oral administration. Enterosgelya foundation is a sponge made of organic silicon, which holds on its surface molecules of medium size, corresponding toxic metabolic products, toxins produced by bacteria and any alien to the body substances. This is not removed from the body nutrients - minerals and natural flora which helps digest food and produces some vitamins.

Cleansing the body can be carried out as in acute conditions (eg, poisoning and acute intestinal infections), and in long flowing inflammatory, allergic, metabolic diseases, which are accompanied by intoxication.

With which diseases and how to make

Enterosgel can be taken at any poisoning - food, drugs, heavy metals, poisons. In all these cases, the serious condition of the patient enterosgel used as part of a treatment for mild poisoning and it can be taken independently. Adults and children after the age of fourteen, he was appointed a tablespoon three times a day. If a serious condition, the dose can be doubled. Treat acute poisoning enterosgelem should be not less than ten days.

The course of acute intestinal infections Acute intestinal infections - the most common disease in the autumn and summer   You can also facilitate using enterosgelya. But in this case always assigned Enterosgel in the complex therapy, and it must always be remembered. To appropriate for the treatment of drugs are not derived from enterosgelem between its reception and use of other drugs should be a break of about two hours.

Of particular importance is the reception enterosgelya chronic inflammatory, allergic and metabolic diseases, when the body substances have toxic effects resulting from various pathological processes. In this case, treatment enterosgelem must be at least two to three weeks. Especially beneficial effects enterosgel provides for allergic diseases - atopic dermatitis Atopic dermatitis - allergic inherited , Bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, and so on.

Finally, enterosgel help with dysbiosis - a disease is extremely widespread in our time and is the background against which then develop various chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. In the treatment of intestinal dysbiosis enterosgelem removed all toxic breakdown products of food pathogenic and opportunistic bacteria and their toxins. The intestine is cleared, allowing unhindered multiply beneficial microflora.

Freed from fecal stones intestinal wall begin to actively produce immune cells, causing the immune system is strengthened Immunity - types and characteristics in children in adults , And with it the overall health.

This should not take enterosgel and side effects of the drug

Contraindications enterosgelya quite a bit, it's a sharp expansion of the stomach, bowel obstruction, severe disturbance of the motor activity of the intestine (the cessation of peristalsis, atony), gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer in the acute stage, bleeding from the stomach or intestines, increased sensitivity of the patient to the drug .

During pregnancy and nursing Breastfeeding - a personal choice   entersgel-feeding is not contraindicated, and it does not matter the age of the patient.

With long-term toxicity with chronic renal and liver failure can occur in patients with an aversion to enterosgel, which then, a few tricks, passes.

If the patient has a tendency to constipation, in the first few days of taking this drug can do a cleansing enema at night, eventually chair adjusted.

Enterosgel may well be used in conjunction with other drugs, keeping only the necessary intervals between doses: enterosgelya receptions and other medicines should be separated by a time interval of at least two hours. Especially effective is the combination of enterosgelya with probiotics - drugs, which include bacterial colonies - the natural inhabitants of the intestine (bifidumbakterin, bififor, laktobakterin and others).
