Action
Experts say that Polysorb is one of the best drugs. This is not just an enterosorbent that binds and removes harmful substances, it is an adsorbent that does not enter into chemical reactions with toxins, heavy metals, or anything else. Accordingly, it does not leave behind decay products and does not disturb the organic balance inside the tissues.
But then how does he manage to get rid of all this “garbage”? It acts like a magnet - it attracts them to its surface, and then, along with them, is removed from the body naturally.
As a result of such cleaning, Polysorb also:
- normalizes stool;
- relieves stress from the digestive system;
- strengthens the immune system;
- reduces appetite;
- destroys pathogenic microflora in the digestive organs and restores favorable ones;
- speeds up metabolism.
His “track record” includes most of the harmful substances that settle in the body and disrupt the functioning of its organs, and he actively neutralizes and removes them:
- alcohol;
- allergens;
- bacteria;
- viruses;
- fungi;
- medicinal chemistry;
- radionuclides;
- heavy metal salts;
- toxins;
- formaldehyde;
- foreign antigens;
- poisons.
In addition, let us remember that as a result of metabolism, decay products are formed, which, when accumulated, also contribute to partial poisoning and slagging of the body. Most traditional sorbents cannot cope with them. But Polysorb is up to this task. It is capable of outputting (in case of excess):
- bilirubin;
- bad cholesterol;
- urea;
- lipids.
So the pharmacological action of Polysorb is very broad. It not only effectively treats poisoning, but also thoroughly cleanses the body. So, if you are looking for an innovative drug with minimal side effects and high effectiveness for getting rid of toxins, this is a great option.

But here you can clearly see how good cleansing the body with Polysorb is: with many advantages, there are only 3 negative points. This is impressive and makes us pay closer attention to this product.
Side effects
No one is safe from them. Yes, in most cases, their manifestation is facilitated by factors such as overdose, ignoring contraindications, non-compliance with instructions, and lack of medical supervision. But it also happens that the body reacts inadequately to the drug, and it ends with such troubles. Among the most common complications:
- allergic reactions;
- anemia;
- headache;
- dyspepsia: frequent belching, abdominal distension, unpleasant taste in the mouth;
- intestinal atony;
- impaired absorption of calcium and vitamins;
- metabolic disorder
- dehydration;
- general weakness;
- weakened immunity;
- swelling;
- digestive disorders;
- suppression of brain activity;
- persistent constipation;
- dry mucous membranes.
You shouldn’t be afraid of this list, because most of them can be prevented:
- to avoid allergies, you need to start taking Polysorb with minimal doses and carefully monitor the body’s reaction, as well as take antihistamines in parallel;
- to prevent the development of anemia, include as much iron in your diet as possible;
- to prevent vitamin deficiencies, eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, and you can also take a course of multivitamins;
- dehydration was discussed above: normalize your drinking regime, and it will not threaten you, it will also save you from dry mucous membranes;
- Immunity will not weaken if you lead a healthy lifestyle, dress for the weather, play sports and eat right.
It is much more difficult to cope with intestinal disorders. Here you will either have to consult a gastroenterologist or abandon this method of cleansing. As for constipation, they most often occur after you have completed the entire course. To alleviate your condition, do not be afraid to drink something gentle laxative: these can be either medications or herbs.
