Pharmacological properties

Enterosgel® has a porous structure of hydrophobic organic silicon matrix (molecular sponge) that sorbs mostly medium molecular toxic metabolites (m.m. 70 - 1000). The medicinal product has pronounced sorption and detoxification properties. In the intestinal lumen, it binds endogenous and exogenous toxic substances of various nature, including bacteria and bacterial toxins, antigens, food allergens, drugs and poisons, salts of heavy metals, radionuclides, alcohol and removes them from the body. Enterosgel® also sorbs some metabolic waste, including excess bilirubin, urea, cholesterol and lipid complexes, as well as metabolites responsible for endogenous toxicosis. Enterosgel® does not reduce absorption of vitamins and trace elements, it helps restore the damaged intestinal microflora. Enterosgel® does not affect gastrointestinal motor function.
