Compound
One sachet of Smecta contains 3 g of the active substance dioctahedral smectite ( diosmectite ).
The composition of the drug includes as excipients:
- vanilla flavor 0.05 g and orange flavor 0.01 g, sodium saccharinate 0.021 g, dextrose monohydrate 0.679 g (powder for preparing an orange-flavored suspension);

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
What is Smecta?
Dioctahedral smectite is a mixed silicate (or, according to other sources, a mixed oxide) of magnesium and aluminum of natural origin.
The action of the drug is aimed at binding and removing various substances (including toxic) and gases from the digestive tract.
Pharmacodynamics
Diosmectite has a stereometric structure and is a highly plastic viscous substance.
These properties explain the selectivity of the sorption effect of the drug (Smecta selectively adsorbs viruses and bacteria from the lumen of the digestive canal) and the high enveloping ability relative to the mucous membrane of the digestive canal.
By interacting with mucin glycoproteins (mucosal secretion of the gastrointestinal tract) and forming polyvalent bonds with them, diosmectite increases the cytoprotective properties of mucus and, consequently, its resistance to irritants: bile salts, hydrogen ions (hydrochloric acid), pathogenic microorganisms, the toxins they produce and other aggressive factors .
Blinded randomized studies of the drug's effectiveness compared with placebo, which included 602 patients aged 1 month to 3 years with a diagnosis of acute diarrhea , showed that in the group receiving Smecta in combination with oral rehydration solutions, the frequency of bowel movements was significantly reduced during the first 72 hours.
Pharmacokinetics
Aluminum contained in smectite is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, including in diseases of the digestive tract, which are accompanied by symptoms of colonopathy and colitis .
Dioctahedral smectite is characterized by a slight swelling effect, in therapeutic doses does not change the physiological time of passage of food through the intestines, does not stain feces, is not metabolized and is excreted unchanged.
The drug is x-ray transparent.
pharmachologic effect
Antidiarrheal drug, is an aluminosilicate of natural origin. Has an adsorbing effect.
Stabilizes the mucous barrier of the gastrointestinal tract, forms polyvalent bonds with mucus glycoproteins, increases the amount of mucus and improves its cytoprotective properties (with respect to the negative effects of hydrogen ions of hydrochloric acid, bile salts, microorganisms and their toxins).
It has selective sorption properties, which are explained by its discoid-crystalline structure; adsorbs bacteria and viruses located in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract.
Smecta in therapeutic doses does not affect intestinal motility.
Diosmectite is radiolucent and does not stain stool.
Aluminum in the composition of diosmectite is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, incl. for gastrointestinal diseases accompanied by symptoms of colitis and colonopathy.
Smecta is not absorbed. It is excreted from the body unchanged.
Indications for use of Smecta
Indications for use of Smecta are the same for adults and children, including infants over 4 weeks of age.
According to the annotation, the medicine is effective for diarrhea of drug or allergic origin. It helps against diarrhea caused by a violation of the quality of the composition and/or diet, with “travelers’ diarrhea,” as well as with disorders provoked by infectious diseases (for diarrhea of infectious origin, the drug is used as part of complex therapy).
The remedy can be prescribed for heartburn, abdominal discomfort, bloating and other symptoms of dyspepsia , which accompany many diseases of the digestive system.
In case of irritable bowel syndrome, Smecta does not reduce diarrhea, but significantly alleviates the patient’s condition due to the sorption and removal of excess gases in the intestines.
Smecta for poisoning
Does the drug help with poisoning? If toxic substances enter the body through the stomach - absolutely.
Smecta effectively removes toxins that have been absorbed into the gastrointestinal mucosa, while helping to restore the natural balance of intestinal microflora and creating a favorable habitat for its beneficial representatives.
Thanks to the unique structure of diosmectite, which is obtained through complex technological processing from specific clay and shell rock, the drug gently lines the mucous membrane of the digestive tube, strengthening its barrier function and giving damaged cells the opportunity to recover.
Smecta for vomiting
The use of the drug for vomiting is permissible in cases where the gag reflex is not a symptom of severe pathology of the digestive organs.
Before taking Smecta, an adult is recommended to perform a gastric lavage, since this procedure helps remove a significant part of toxic substances from the body and speeds up the effect of diosmectite.
When vomiting in children, the use of sorbent is resorted to, as a rule, in situations where food poisoning .
Why does the powder help animals?
Smecta is used in veterinary practice to alleviate the condition of animals with vomiting, stool disorders and poisoning.
During the studies, it was found that in dogs suffering from diarrhea during the convalescence period, when using the drug as an addition to the diet and main therapy, recovery occurred 2-3 days earlier than in the group of animals that did not receive Smecta.
Indications for use
Smecta has the same indications for children and adults. The drug can be given to babies from the age of one month.
The drug is taken for intestinal disorders, in particular diarrhea, caused by poor quality food or poor diet, as well as infectious diseases. In the latter case, Smecta is taken as part of a complex treatment.
The drug is effective for heartburn, discomfort and pain in the abdomen, bloating and other signs of dyspepsia, which indicate various diseases of the digestive system.
If a symptom of irritable bowel is detected, then the medicine will not be able to reduce diarrhea, but will significantly alleviate the condition by removing gases.
Contraindications
The drug has very few contraindications for use. Thus, Smecta is not prescribed for intestinal obstruction , known hypersensitivity to the components of the powder, food intolerance to fructose, deficiency of the sucrase-isomaltase complex, malabsorption syndrome (malabsorption) of glucose and galactose .
It is also not recommended to take the suspension in case of osmotic diarrhea . This is explained by the fact that additional sorption of nutrients can provoke an increase in malabsorption syndrome.
The medicine is prescribed with caution to patients of severe chronic constipation .
Side effects
During clinical trials, it was found that the drug can cause constipation . This phenomenon occurs quite rarely and goes away after an individual change in the dosage regimen.
Some patients may experience vomiting and flatulence .
During the post-registration period, cases of hypersensitivity reactions were recorded, which included the appearance of skin rashes, urticaria , itching , and angioedema . The frequency of these side effects is unknown.
Smecta powder, instructions for use
How to give Smecta to an adult
An adult with acute diarrhea at the beginning of treatment should take up to six sachets of powder per day. After stabilization of the condition, the daily dose is reduced to three sachets.
For other indications, the patient is given three sachets of Smecta per day.
How to dilute Smecta (3 g) for adults and how to take it - before or after meals?
The medicine is available in powder. You should drink it after first dissolving it in liquid.
The method of using Smecta is very simple: the powder is diluted in 100 ml of water to obtain a suspension. This should be done immediately before taking the medicine.

How long does it take for the drug to work?
The medicine begins to act from the first dose (for diarrhea, the effect develops after 6-12 hours, for poisoning - after 2-3 hours, for esophagitis - within half an hour).
To consolidate the effect, it is recommended to continue treatment for at least three days.
How to dissolve Smecta for an infant
If it is necessary to use the drug for newborns, it should be diluted in 50 ml of expressed milk or in a similar volume of formula for artificial feeding.
How to breed Smecta for children over one year of age
For older children, the powder can be diluted in milk, compote, vegetable/fruit puree or juice for baby food. Before pouring Smecta into the liquid, the latter must be heated to a temperature slightly above room temperature.
Dissolve 3 g of powder gradually, with stirring. The optimal volume of liquid is 50 ml.
How to take Smecta powder for a child under one year old
Smecta is given to children under one year of age using a bottle. After the baby drinks the mixture, it is recommended to hold him in an upright position for some time. Do not rock or shake.
Instructions for use of Smecta for children
Children's dosage is determined depending on age and indications for use.
The daily dose of Smecta for children under one year of age is usually one sachet per 100 ml of liquid. Children 13-24 months old are given two sachets of powder per 200 ml of liquid per day. Dosage for children from 2 to 12 years old: three sachets per 300 ml of liquid.
How to drink Smecta for diarrhea
For diarrhea, infants aged from 4 weeks to 12 months are given two sachets of Smecta in the first three days, then the child is transferred to taking one sachet per day.
Children over one year of age should be given four sachets per day in the first three days, and then two sachets per day.
For other indications, following the recommendations in the instructions for Smecta for children, during the day a child under one year old is given one sachet per day, children from 12 months to 2 years old - one or two sachets, children over two years of age - 2-3 sachets per day.
Directions for use for vomiting
When vomiting, children under one year of age should be given one sachet of Smecta per day as a one-time dose. To relieve unpleasant symptoms, an adult should take the drug three times a day (one sachet for each dose).
If constipation occurs, children should reduce the dose.
Veterinary use, dosage for dogs and cats
Dosage for a cat with diarrhea is 3-5 ml 3-4 times a day. To prepare the suspension, half the packet is mixed with 25 ml of warm water. The kitten is given 2 ml at a time.
Before giving the kitten or cat the suspension, the animal must be wrapped in a terry towel and its mouth opened. The medicine is drawn up with a disposable syringe (without a needle), released from the syringe into the air, unscrew the upper lip, insert the syringe with the nose in a place where there are no teeth, and gently press the plunger.
If the first attempt to give the cat the medicine was unsuccessful and some of the medicine spilled out, you should additionally give the animal half of the previous dose.
For diarrhea in a dog, the contents of the sachet are dissolved in 10 ml of water. You need to drink one sachet 3 times a day
For persistent diarrhea, the drug is given every 3 hours.
In case of poisoning, the contents of the sachet are diluted in ¼ glass of warm water. The animal should be fed 1 teaspoon per 5 kg of weight.
Treatment is combined with diet. It is optimal not to feed the cat/dog on the first day after the symptoms of poisoning appear. In this case, the animal must receive a sufficient amount of fluid.
If after 2 procedures of administering the drug the condition does not improve, the pet should be shown to a doctor.
Directions for use and doses
- Acute diarrhea
Adults are recommended to use 3 sachets per day; if necessary, at the beginning of treatment the daily dose can be doubled
Children under 1 year of age - 2 sachets/day for 3 days, then 1 sachet/day;
children over 1 year old - 4 sachets/day for 3 days, then 2 sachets/day.
- Other indications
Adults are prescribed 3 sachets/day.
Children under 1 year of age - 1 sachet/day
Children aged 1-2 years - 1-2 sachets/day;
Children over 2 years old - 2-3 sachets/day.
A course of treatment of 3-7 days is recommended.
For esophagitis, Smecta should be taken orally after meals, for other indications - between meals.
Rules for taking the drug
The bag of suspension must be kneaded between your fingers before opening it. The contents of the sachet can be swallowed undiluted or mixed with a small amount of water (half a glass) before use. For infants and children, the contents of the sachet can be mixed in a bottle with a small amount of water (50 ml), or with semi-liquid food: broth, compote, puree, baby food.
special instructions
Diarrhea (especially in children) increases the risk of electrolyte imbalance and dehydration. To avoid this, the child is usually prescribed Regidron and Smecta together. Instead of Regidron, you can use the following drugs: Citraglucosolan , Disol , Trisol , Reosolan , Gidrovit , etc.
Oral rehydration salt solution helps replenish electrolytes lost during vomiting and diarrhea, the glucose it contains improves salt absorption, and citrates help correct the balance in metabolic acidosis .
For adults, rehydration agents are prescribed if necessary. The amount of rehydration depends on the course of the disease, the age of the patient and the intensity of diarrhea.

Synonyms for Smecta are Diosmectite and Neosmectin . When choosing an analogue for children, preference is given to the drug Neosmectin.
The following mechanisms of action have a similar mechanism of action: Activated carbon , Microcel , Laktofiltrum , Lignosorb , Polysorb MP , Filtrum-STI , Polyphepan , Enterodes , Entegnin , Enterosorb Enterosgel , Enterumin , - 1 .
Which is better, Neosmectin or Smecta?
Neosmectin is a complete analogue of the drug Smecta. The difference between these products is that the first is produced by the Russian company Pharmstandard-Leksredstva OJSC, while Smecta is produced by the French company Ipsen Pharma.
Smecta or Activated Carbon - which is better?
Smecta and Activated Carbon are preparations with sorption properties.
However, Smecta has a number of advantages in comparison with the latter. Firstly, this drug is distinguished by its selectivity of action: it removes toxic substances, hydrochloric acid, excess bile acids and viruses, but does not take the substances it needs from the body.
Activated carbon, along with pathogenic microorganisms and poisons of biological origin, also removes beneficial bacteria, without which the stomach and intestines subsequently cannot function normally. Diosmectite helps create the most optimal conditions in the body for the development of beneficial microflora.
Secondly, acting very gently, the drug envelops the walls of the digestive canal, protecting them from aggressive factors, while Activated Carbon, which has a rigid structure, can further injure them.
Smecta for children, instructions for newborns
Smecta for newborns is often an indispensable drug, since most digestive problems arise in the first weeks of a baby’s life.
The manufacturer's instructions do not contain instructions on how to give Smecta to infants under 4 weeks of age, so most young mothers naturally have questions about whether Smecta can be given to newborns and whether this drug will harm the baby.
The answer is clear - you can (after all, diosmectite is nothing more than well-purified clay, which is not absorbed or metabolized in the body), but only under the supervision of the attending physician and with his approval.
The drug is prescribed for eating disorders accompanied by bloating and abdominal pain, the development of diarrhea and vomiting syndrome. It is also recommended to be given for jaundice .
The dosage of Smecta for newborns is selected by the doctor.
There is no difference in how to dilute Smecta for a newborn baby and an older child. The dose recommended by the doctor is slowly, stirring constantly, poured into 50 ml of warm milk, water or formula for artificial nutrition and stirred until smooth.
The specified volume of liquid must be given to the child in several doses.
Most mothers leave positive reviews about the use of the drug in newborns, but note that children prone to constipation should be given Smecta with caution.
Reception by children
Smecta can be given to children from infancy. Often, babies have problems with the digestive system in the first days of life.
The instructions say that you can give the medicine from 4 weeks. The remedy can be given for malnutrition, which leads to abdominal pain and bloating, vomiting and diarrhea. Also effective for jaundice.
The optimal dose is determined only by a doctor. You need to dilute the powder in warm milk or water (50 ml), stirring until you get a homogeneous consistency. The specified volume must be divided into several doses.
For diarrhea
If a baby has diarrhea at the age of 1-12 months, then in the first 72 hours you need to give 2 sachets, after which you can give 1 sachet per day. Children from 1 year old can be given 4 sachets in the first 3 days, and after that - 2 sachets per day.
When vomiting
For vomiting in children under 1 year of age, give 1 sachet per day. A child over one year old can be given 3 sachets per day. If constipation occurs, the dose should be reduced.
Use with alcohol
Diosmectite reduces the rate of absorption of alcohol.
To reduce the effect of intoxication, immediately before the feast you should take 2-3 sachets of the drug.
To prevent the development of hangover syndrome , Smecta is taken after drinking alcohol.
If there is vomiting within 30 minutes after taking the suspension, the drug is repeated in a double dose. In case of poisoning with alcohol surrogates, it is necessary to induce vomiting, then take three sachets of Smecta and call an ambulance.
Instructions for use
For acute diarrhea in an adult, you need to drink no more than 6 sachets of powder per day. After you feel better, you can reduce the dose by half.
For other indications, the daily dose is 3 sachets.
Before taking, you need to dilute the solution in 100 ml of water to form a suspension. In case of inflammation of the mucous membrane of the digestive organs, you need to take the medicine after meals, in other cases 1 hour before meals or 2 hours after.
For diarrhea, the effect will be noticeable after 6-10 hours, for esophagitis - after 30-40 minutes, for poisoning - after 2-3 hours.
To consolidate the result, you need to continue taking the drug for 3-4 days.
Application in veterinary medicine
If your cat has diarrhea, you can give up to 5 ml 3 times a day. To prepare the suspension, mix half a sachet in 25 ml of water at room temperature. It is allowed to give 2 ml per 1 dose. The medicine must be drawn up with a syringe and gently squeezed into a place where there are no teeth.
If your dog has diarrhea, dissolve the powder in 10 ml of warm water. You can give 1 sachet three times a day.
If diarrhea does not stop, then the frequency of administration can be increased to 6 times a day.
When treating with Smecta, you need to introduce a diet. On the first day, it is better not to feed the animal at all.
Smecta during pregnancy and breastfeeding
Can pregnant women use Smecta?
The drug can be used in pregnant women. According to the instructions for Smecta, during pregnancy there is no need to adjust the regimen and dosage of the drug.
In pregnant women, the drug is used to reduce the severity of heartburn, normalize digestion, prevent the development of intestinal candidiasis against the background of reduced immunity , and also to prevent toxicosis .
It has been scientifically and practically proven that diosmectite does not have a negative effect on the process of prenatal development and is completely safe for the fetus.
If necessary, unless the doctor gives other instructions, you can take Smecta one sachet three times a day. Five days are usually enough to reduce the acidity of gastric juice and normalize the production of digestive enzymes.
Can a nursing mother take Smecta powder?
The drug is approved for use during lactation and can be used in standard doses.
Smecta during pregnancy
The drug is approved for use by pregnant women. There is no need to change the dose or diet. The components do not pose any threat to the developing fetus.

The medicine can also be taken while breastfeeding; there is no need to adjust the dose or diet.
Reviews about Smecta
Smecta is an original medicine containing a naturally occurring substance, diosmectite, as an active substance. The latter, being a silicate of Mg and Al, differs favorably from other silicon compounds in its structure and properties.
The diosmectite molecule has a stereometric configuration and is characterized by increased plastic viscosity, due to which the drug not only effectively adsorbs harmful substances, but also has a protective effect on the mucous membrane of the digestive tube.
Most of the reviews are reviews of Smecta for children, and, in particular, for infants and newborns. Acting quickly and gently, the drug relieves symptoms of poisoning, relieves heartburn, and eliminates infectious digestive problems. Therefore, according to most mothers, in families with children, it must be in first aid kits.
The main advantages of Smecta are:
- “children’s” dosage form and pleasant taste;
- the ability to significantly reduce the duration of the disease and, accordingly, the costs of treatment (this fact is confirmed by numerous studies and, in particular, studies conducted by SIGEP specialists);
- good tolerance;
- few restrictions on use.
To date, there is encouraging data on the effectiveness of the drug in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux in children in the first 4 weeks of newborn life, as well as on its use for prophylactic purposes to prevent the development of chronic diarrhea during radiation therapy in patients with cancer .
Smecta
Smecta ®
(lat.
Smecta ®
) is a gastroprotective, antidiarrheal, adsorbent drug.
Active substance:
dioctahedral smectite (another name is
diosmectite
).
Dosage form:
sachets containing powder for the preparation of an oral suspension. Each bag contains 3 g of dioctahedral smectite.
Excipients:
dextrose (glucose), sodium saccharin, vanillin.
Indications for use of smecta:
- acute and chronic diarrhea (allergic, drug origin, due to violation of diet and quality food composition)
- diarrhea of infectious origin (as part of complex therapy)
- treatment of symptoms (heartburn, bloating and abdominal discomfort) associated with diseases of the stomach and intestines
Smecta is a drug of natural origin that has a protective effect on the intestinal mucosa and pronounced adsorbing and enveloping properties.
Smecta, being a mucosal barrier stabilizer, forms polyvalent bonds with mucus glycoproteins and increases the duration of its existence, forming a physical barrier that protects the mucous membrane of the digestive tract from the effects of hydrochloric acid and pepsins, bile acids, microorganisms, their toxins, etc.
Smecta has selective sorption properties, which are explained by its discoid-crystalline structure. On the contrary, the swelling effect is expressed to an insignificant extent.
Smecta, due to its effect on the digestive mucous barrier and its increased ability to adhere, protects the mucous membrane of the digestive tract. Smecta in therapeutic doses does not affect intestinal motility. Smecta is not absorbed and is excreted unchanged from the body.
Smecta is recommended for the treatment of peptic ulcers as an adjuvant, which, although it does not affect the amount of acidity in the stomach, has an enveloping and high sorbing ability (sorbs Helicobacter pylori
, bile acids), improves the rheological properties of mucus, increasing its viscosity, increasing the resistance of the mucous membrane to the effects of pepsin and hydrochloric acid. In addition, smecta has a cytomucoprotective effect. It penetrates the mucous (mucin) layer of the intestine, interacts with the glycocalyx, increases the formation of the protective jelly-like layer and improves its quality. The duration of therapy can vary from 4 weeks (for an uncomplicated newly diagnosed single Helicobacter-associated ulcer) to the need for continuous use (for steroid therapy) (Khavkin A.I., Zhikhareva N.S., Rachkova N.S.).
Smecta is highly effective in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux in children (1 sachet 1–3 times a day). Usually the drug is taken 40–60 minutes after a meal, when heartburn and retrosternal discomfort most often occur (Khavkin A.I., Privorotsky V.F.). In the treatment of gastroesophaneal reflux disease, after discontinuation of proton pump inhibitors (in children, their use is sometimes limited to 2-3 weeks due to the excessive antisecretory effect), cytoprotectors (smecta, sucralfate, liquiriton) are used 30 minutes before meals 3-4 times a day ( last time at night) for 4 weeks (Belousov Yu.V.).
For acute gastritis, as part of complex therapy, the administration of adsorbents smecta, polyphepan, cholestyramine) is indicated, 5-20 g 2-3 times a day, diluted in large quantities of water, between meals (Shabalov N.P.).
