Innovative intestinal adsorbent
Enterosgel® is an oral intestinal adsorbent (enterosorbent) that has the ability to adsorb toxins and harmful substances (e.g. endotoxins, enterotoxins) in the digestive system, bind them to its surface and reduce stool frequency and the diarrhoea duration.
Enterosgel® is expelled from the body during the bowel movement, thus eliminating the adsorbed toxins and harmful substances, which is beneficial for the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhoea associated with IBS.
Enterosgel® can be used in adults and children in case of acute diarrhoeal disease (gastroenteritis) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhoea (IBS-D).
Traveler’s diarrhea is the most common disease among travelers, affecting 20-50 % of them.
It occurs most often in the first week in the first week of staying in a new environment, but it can also occur later or upon returning home.
Risk areas are Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, but it also occurs in any other part of the world.
Traveler’s diarrhea begins abruptly with severe and frequent diarrhea and possible nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, bloating and fever.
It is rarely dangerous, although it can have inconvenient complications, especially in people who have some other associated diseases (immunocompromised, diabetics, people with irritable bowel syndrome, chronic patients).
Traveler’s diarrhea usually goes away on its own, but that doesn’t mean the patient can’t and shouldn’t be helped.
First of all, it is necessary to replenish lost fluid and electrolytes to avoid dehydration and possible serious complications.
Enterosgel® can be very helpful because it binds harmful substances to its surface (e.g. endotoxins, enterotoxins), allowing them to be removed through the stool and shortening diarrhea duration.
What makes Enterosgel® an ideal “body cleanser” is the fact that it does not cross the intestinal lining, it does not get absorbed into the blood or tissues in the body, it is non-toxic and chemically inert.
Enterosgel® is safe for children from the age of one year and pregnant women, and is available without prescription.
If diarrhea persists despite therapy, it is necessary to visit a doctor while traveling or immediately upon returning home.
