Today, many drugs against poisoning are presented in pharmacology. But there are very few unique therapeutic agents that do not cause harm to the body and bring a good healing effect. But polysorbent containing silicon dioxide is really created in such a way as to remove harmful substances from the human body in the easiest way. Many compare its effect to the effect of a sponge, which absorbs all particles foreign to the body.
But in addition to the positive effect in medical matters, Polysorbent is also actively used to treat acne. Acne treatment is a huge problem for many, because it is, in many ways, a reflection of the body’s ill-being. The body, as they say, cannot lie. And he shows the person those health problems that need to be urgently solved, without sentimentality. And what to do with such problems? This is what we will discuss.
Pharmacological description of the drug "Polysorb"
Polysorb MP is available in the form of a powder for preparing a suspension; the finished mixture is white in color and odorless. Made from silicon dioxide, it is absolutely harmless to the body if the dosage and rules of use are followed.
Recommended for the treatment of infectious intestinal diseases, as well as poisoning (including alcohol). The drug is strong against intestinal infections, toxins and allergens. It belongs to a new generation of enterosorbents, because it is capable of removing even heavy metals from the body! The ready-made solution with Polysorb also acts on the skin in the same way - destroying the infection, preventing bacteria from multiplying and causing harmful effects to external factors.
Polysorb can be bought at any pharmacy in jars (from 12 to 50 g) or in a sachet for one use (3 g).

Lactofiltrum or Polysorb - which is better for acne?
To get rid of acne and cleanse the body of toxins, Polysorb is recommended because it is gentle and can be used to prepare masks. Lactofiltrum is usually prescribed for the treatment of severe intestinal dysbiosis, liver cirrhosis and hepatitis. In terms of pharmacological action, Lactofilter is stronger, and therefore more harmful to the body.
