Enterosorbent
Enterosorbent
Enterosorbent grade EnterosorbU is available for supportive therapy in drug overdoses and poisonings. Treatment for acute accidental or intentional medication poisonings can be facilitated with EnterosorbU. The properties of EnterosorbU are optimized to adsorb a variety of compounds more effectively than commercial activated carbons. The compounds that can be readily adsorbed include acetominophonen – the most common cause of medication toxicity, commonly abused drugs including barbiturates, benzodiazepines, methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine, and pesticides/insecticides such as organophosphates and DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane).
EnterosorbU can also be used as a treatment for microbial food poisoning requiring the removal of exotoxins and mycotoxins as well as non-microbial food poisoning including seafood poisoning due to bioaccumulation of heavy metal from the water.
