Smecta is a drug from the group of sorbents, which has a natural origin and has an additional protective (protective) property in relation to the organs of the digestive tract. Smecta is used for pain syndrome accompanying diseases of the esophagus, stomach or duodenum, as well as intestinal colic. However, the most widespread use of Smecta is as a universal remedy for acute and chronic diarrhea of ​​\u200b\u200bany origin.

Forms of release and composition

Currently, Smecta is produced in a single dosage form - this powder for suspension for oral administration with orange or vanilla flavor. The powder is dyed greyish-white or grayish-yellow and packed in sealed bags of 3.76 g, which, in turn, are placed in cardboard boxes of 10 or 30 pieces.

As an active ingredient, the drug contains smectite dioctahedral in the amount of 3 g per sachet of powder. The following substances are included in the Smecta powder as auxiliary components:

• Flavoring orange or vanilla;
• Dextrose monohydrate;
• sodium saccharin.

Flavorings are necessary to give the finished suspension a pleasant smell. The remaining auxiliary components improve the homogeneity of the suspension and contribute to a better manifestation of the therapeutic effects of Smecta.

What helps Smecta (therapeutic effects)

Smecta is a natural aluminosilicate, which has pronounced adsorbing, enveloping and gastroprotective properties.

The adsorbing effect means that the drug is able to bind various pathogenic bacteria (including staphylococci), viruses, fungi and toxic substances in the intestinal lumen, hold them on its surface and remove them from the body along with feces. Thanks to this main adsorbing effect, Smecta effectively cures poisoning (including food poisoning) and diarrhea caused by intestinal infections or other causes, and also reduces the effects of intoxication in chronic diseases of internal organs.

Due to selective sorption, Smecta binds, neutralizes and removes only toxic substances and pathogenic microorganisms. At the same time, the drug does not bind vitamins, minerals, nutrients and representatives of the normal intestinal microflora. That is, Smecta removes only pathogenic microbes and substances from the intestines, without affecting the beneficial and necessary for the body.

The enveloping and gastroprotective action of Smecta is ensured by the high fluidity of the suspension, due to which it is able to cover the entire surface of the mucous membrane with a thin layer. The enveloping and gastroprotective effect of the drug provides the following therapeutic effects:
1. Stabilizes the condition of the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines, filling existing defects, as well as forming bonds with glycoproteins, which, in turn, improves the quality of mucus and its life expectancy. Thus, Smecta on the surface of the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines forms a thin physical barrier that protects them from damage.
2. Neutralizes the negative impact on the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines of hydrochloric acid, hydrogen ions, bile acids, microbes and toxins produced by them, thereby preventing exacerbations and accelerating the cure of chronic diseases, and reducing the severity of pain.

In therapeutic dosages, Smecta is not able to disrupt normal intestinal motility, and therefore does not provoke constipation or diarrhea.

When taken orally, Smecta is not absorbed (even with severe intestinal diseases) and is completely excreted from the body without staining the stool in any color.

Summing up the therapeutic effects of Smecta, we can say that it helps with the following conditions and diseases:

• Diarrhea caused by any cause (food poisoning, intestinal infection, etc.);
• Severe intoxication (for example, with infectious diseases, after heavy drinking, poisoning with various substances, etc.);
• Pain syndrome in diseases of the esophagus, stomach and intestines;
• Intestinal colic.

Indications for use Smecta

Smecta is indicated for use in people of any age for the treatment of the following conditions:

• Diarrhea of ​​allergic origin;
• Drug-induced diarrhea (diarrhea in response to medication, such as antibiotic-associated diarrhea);
• Diarrhea due to violation of the diet;
• Diarrhea after eating low-quality or unusual food;
• Diarrhea provoked by intestinal infections (rotavirus infection, cholera, etc.);
• intestinal colic;
• Relief of heartburn, flatulence, abdominal pain and other symptoms of indigestion in diseases of the esophagus, stomach and intestines (gastritis, ulcers, esophagitis, duodenitis, etc.).

Instructions for use

Dosage of Smecta

In acute diarrhea, Smecta should be taken in the following dosages, depending on age:

• Children under one year old - take 2 sachets per day for 3 days. Then for another 2-4 days, take 1 sachet per day.
• Adolescents over 12 years of age and adults - take 6 sachets per day for 3 days. Then for another 2-4 days, take 3 sachets per day.

• Children 2 - 12 years old - take 2 - 3 sachets per day;
• Adolescents over 12 years old and adults - take 3 sachets per day.

How to take Smecta?

If the child is not an infant, then the total daily dosage of Smecta should be divided into 2-3 doses. For example, if the doctor has prescribed to take 6 sachets per day, then it is optimal to drink the drug three times a day, two sachets. Accordingly, at a dosage of 2 or 3 sachets per day, the drug is recommended to take one sachet 2 or 3 times a day. If one sachet per day is prescribed, then it is taken at a time at any time of the day. At the same time, it is recommended that the required number of Smecta sachets be diluted each time in water immediately before taking, and not in advance. That is, when taking one sachet three times a day, each time the contents of one sachet should be diluted in half a glass of water immediately before use.

In case of acute diarrhea, in addition to taking Smecta, it is imperative to replenish the loss of fluid in the body, that is, to carry out rehydration therapy. This is especially important in infants under one year of age. Rehydration therapy consists in drinking a special solution (Regidron, Trisol, Disol, Hydrovit, Reosolan, Citraglucosolan, etc.), tea, compote, mineral water, fruit drink or any other liquid in the amount of 0.5 liters for each episode of loose stools. Drink the liquid should be in small sips, so as not to provoke vomiting.

People suffering from chronic constipation should take Smecta with caution, limiting the course of its use to the minimum effective interval. That is, it is necessary to stop taking the powder as soon as the symptoms pass, for which the use of Smecta was started. For example, if the symptoms disappeared after 2 days, then the drug should not be taken longer.

Smekta - before or after meals?

In the symptomatic treatment of esophagitis, Smecta should be taken immediately after meals. In all other cases, the drug should be taken either one hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Newborn babies take Smecta with food or drink, or between feedings, if possible.

How to breed Smecta?

For adults or children who are able to drink 100 ml of suspension, it is necessary to dissolve the powder from one sachet in half a glass of warm boiled water. You should always dissolve the required amount of the drug immediately before each dose and drink the suspension for 5 to 10 minutes, and do not immediately prepare the daily dosage of Smecta, store it in the refrigerator and take it in portions.

For infants, the contents of the number of sachets required per day are dissolved or thoroughly mixed in 50 ml of any liquid or semi-liquid product, for example, milk, cereal, puree, compote, milk formula, etc. Then the total amount of the product with Smekta is divided into several doses (optimally three, but more is possible) within one day. The next day, if necessary, prepare a new portion of a liquid or semi-liquid product with Smecta.

To obtain a homogeneous suspension, you must first pour the required amount of water or liquid product into the preparation container (glass, deep bowl, baby bottle, etc.). Then slowly pour the powder from the bag into it, constantly stirring the liquid. The suspension is considered ready for use when it acquires a homogeneous consistency without inclusions and lumps.

Influence on the ability to control mechanisms

Smecta does not affect the ability to control mechanisms, therefore the drug can be used without fear when performing any type of activity, including those associated with the need for a high speed of reactions and concentration.

Overdose

An overdose of Smecta is not possible, since the drug is not absorbed into the systemic circulation. However, when taking a large dose of the drug, persistent constipation or a bezoar (a dense hard stone formed from sticky particles of Smecta and feces) is possible.

Interaction with other drugs

Smecta reduces the absorption of any other drugs. Therefore, it is necessary to spread in time for 1 - 2 hours the intake of Smecta and other drugs. That is, medicines can be taken 1 to 2 hours before or 1 to 2 hours after Smecta.

Smecta for children and newborns (for babies)

General provisions

Smecta is approved for use in children from birth, so the drug can be safely given to babies of any age, including infants. The complete safety of the powder for babies is due to the fact that it is not absorbed into the bloodstream, does not affect the functioning of the organs and systems of the child, is not addictive, is completely excreted from the body with feces and does not damage the mucous membranes of the esophagus, stomach and intestines.

The drug binds and neutralizes various toxic substances and pathogenic bacteria in the intestines, including staphylococcus, which is a common cause of colic and unstable stools in infants. In principle, Smecta works in the same way as activated charcoal, however, its action is much milder, since its particles do not scratch or damage the mucous membranes of the children's stomach and intestines.

In children, including newborns, Smecta is used to eliminate the following conditions:

• Increased flatulence with flatulence and bloating;
• intestinal colic;
• Diarrhea of ​​any origin (including due to an intestinal infection, an allergic reaction, eating unusual or poor-quality food, etc.);
• Food or drug poisoning;
• Heartburn;
• Vomit.

Since the above conditions develop quite often in children, Smecta is also prescribed and used in pediatric practice very widely.

In addition, Smektu is prescribed to newborn children for 2-3 days with the appearance of postpartum physiological or pathological jaundice. The fact is that the cause of jaundice is bilirubin, formed from decaying embryonic hemoglobin, and not having time to be neutralized by the immature liver of a newborn. As a result, bilirubin does not have time to be removed from the body, penetrates into the tissues and stains the baby's skin yellow. To speed up the excretion of bilirubin and, accordingly, the convergence of jaundice in a newborn, it is recommended to give the baby 1 sachet of Smecta per day for 3 to 5 days.

Instructions for use Smecta for children

In acute diarrhea, Smecta should be given in the following dosages, depending on age:

• Children under one year old - take 2 sachets per day for 3 days. Then for another 2-4 days, take 1 sachet per day;
• Children 1 - 12 years old - take 4 sachets per day for 3 days. Then for another 2-4 days, take 2 sachets per day.

For any other conditions, Smecta should be taken in the following dosages depending on age:

• Children under one year - take 1 sachet per day;
• Children 1 - 2 years - take 1 - 2 sachets per day;
• Children 2 - 12 years old - take 2 - 3 sachets per day.

The duration of the course of application of Smecta is 3 to 7 days. For acute diarrhea, be sure to take the powder for at least three days, even if the diarrhea stopped earlier. In other cases (with the exception of acute diarrhea), Smektu can be given to a child only until the symptoms disappear, that is, less than 3 days, but not longer than 7 days.

How to give Smecta?

How to give Smecta? Children over 3 years of age should be given Smektu between meals. You can do this either an hour before or 2 hours after eating. Children under 3 years of age can be given Smecta with food or drink, as it is quite difficult to get them to take the medicine in isolation.

Before taking, dissolve a sachet of Smecta in half a glass of warm water, if the child is able to drink this amount of suspension at a time. If the child is small and cannot drink half a glass of suspension at a time, then the daily amount of Smecta sachets (for example, 1, 2 or 3) should be diluted in 50 ml of milk, compote, milk formula or mixed into porridge, puree and other semi-liquid food. Then drink or food with Smecta should be given to the child at least three times a day in approximately equal portions, making sure that he eats everything during the day.

The daily dosage of Smecta for children must be divided into at least three doses per day. If necessary, it can be divided into 4 doses per day. For example, if a child is assigned to take 2 sachets of Smecta per day, then it is optimal to give him half a sachet of powder diluted in 100 ml of water 4 times a day.

If the child is already able to drink the entire volume of the finished suspension, then the required amount of powder should be diluted with water each time before taking. If the baby cannot drink the entire suspension at a time, then the total daily dosage of Smecta is diluted in liquid (milk, milk formula, water, compote, etc.) and given to the child 3-5 times a day. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the baby drinks all the liquid with Smecta during the day. If it is difficult for a child to give the drug both in the form of a suspension for taking at a time, and as part of a liquid for gradual drinking during the day, then the powder can be mixed into semi-liquid food (for example, mashed potatoes, porridge, etc.). At the same time, the number of sachets to be taken at a time is mixed into the food, as if the powder were diluted in water.

Application during pregnancy

Smecta is approved for use throughout pregnancy and is taken for the same indications as for children, non-pregnant women or men. Dosages of Smecta for pregnant women correspond to those for adults, that is, for acute diarrhea in the first three days, you should take 2 sachets 3 times a day, and then for another 2 to 4 days, reduce the dosage by half (that is, 1 sachet for 3 times a day). For all other indications, Smecta is taken 1 sachet 3 times a day for 3 to 7 days.

Smecta - use in various conditions

With diarrhea

Smecta for diarrhea is an effective remedy, since it is able to normalize loose stools of any origin. So, Smecta is effective for diarrhea of ​​​​any origin caused by an intestinal infection, and with an allergic reaction, and poisoning, and taking medications, and consuming poor-quality food, etc. Therefore, the drug can be taken when diarrhea occurs, without wasting time trying to find out its causes.

With diarrhea, Smektu must be taken for at least three days, even if the stool has returned to normal earlier. Dosages of the drug are determined by age:

• Children under one year old - Take 2 sachets per day for 3 days. Then for another 2-4 days, take 1 sachet per day.
• Children 1 – 12 years old- take 4 sachets per day for 3 days. Then for another 2-4 days, take 2 sachets per day.
• - take 6 sachets per day for 3 days. Then for another 2-4 days, take 3 sachets per day.

When vomiting

Smecta with vomiting can be effective, because it is able to absorb (bind) various toxic substances that cause this condition. Therefore, when vomiting occurs, you can take 0.5 - 1 sachet of Smecta, diluting it in half a glass of warm water, and then observe your own condition. If within 10 - 30 minutes the person's health improved, and vomiting did not recur, then the treatment can be considered successful and continue it for 2 - 3 days in the following dosages, depending on age:

• Children under one year old - 1 sachet per day;
• Children 1 – 2 years old- 1 - 2 sachets per day;
• Children 2 – 12 years old- 1 sachet 2-3 times a day;
• Teenagers over 12 and adults - 1 sachet 3 times a day.

If, after 30-45 minutes after taking Smecta, the person's condition has not improved, or vomiting with blood has appeared, then therapy should be stopped and an urgent visit to a doctor should be made.

In case of poisoning

Smecta in case of poisoning is an effective drug, since it is able to absorb numerous toxic substances in the lumen of the stomach and intestines, causing clinical manifestations of poisoning. As a result of sorption in the intestine, toxins are no longer absorbed into the bloodstream, and the symptoms of intoxication are reduced. In case of poisoning with any substance, Smecta should be taken according to the rules for the treatment of diarrhea.

Side effects and contraindications for use

Smecta in people of any age and gender can provoke the following side effects:

• Constipation;
• Bloating of the intestines;
• Vomit;
• Allergic reactions (urticaria, rash, skin itching, Quincke's edema).

Constipation and bloating usually disappear quickly on their own after discontinuation of the use of Smecta or after a decrease in dosage.

Application of Smecta powder contraindicated if a person has the following diseases or conditions:

• fructose intolerance;
• Glucose-galactose malabsorption syndrome;
• Insufficiency of sucrase-isomaltase;
• Individual hypersensitivity to the components of the drug.

Smekta: manufacturer, composition, pharmacological action, indications, method of administration and doses, side effects and contraindications, analogues - video

Hello! I want to share with you a novelty, this is a smecta suspension for oral administration. Now you do not need a glass and water, just squeeze out the contents of the bag and drink it with water. And most importantly, my daughter liked this form of release very much and she took the medicine with a bang.

My application experience.

The other day my child had problems with stool. The etiology was not clear, loose stools, but there was no vomiting, no temperature, and the child was kind and cheerful. The pediatrician thinks it was an indigestion.

But what is interesting is that the child did not drink the cloudy white powder. (although she drank it for a year and everything was fine, there were no objections). I had to drink.

And the suspension of smectite, which tastes and color is similar to blue clay with a weak taste of either cocoa or coffee, the child accepted with a bang. We called her "vitamin" and gave the child half a bag at a time 2 times a day (we are 3 years old), we washed it down with juice and tea with chamomile and water. By the way, half a sachet of suspension is 1 not a full teaspoon.

The instructions say to give more and more often, but we were not advised to be zealous with smecta, as this is fraught with constipation.

Everything went away after 2 days.

Description of the drug:

Suspension smecta 3g

Active ingredient: dioctahedral smectite

Antidiarrheal drug with adsorbent action

Taste: caramel-cocoa

Color: gray

The consistency is thick, pasty.

Price: 20-25 rubles a bag. (For comparison, the usual smect costs 12-15 rubles.)

Manufacturer: Ipsen Pharma, France

Indications:

Acute and chronic diarrhea (allergic, medicinal genesis; in case of violation of the diet and the qualitative composition of the food);
- diarrhea of ​​​​infectious genesis (as part of complex therapy);
- symptomatic treatment of heartburn, bloating and discomfort in the abdomen and other symptoms of dyspepsia accompanying diseases of the digestive tract.

Contraindications:

Intestinal obstruction;
- fructose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption syndrome;
- insufficiency of sucrase-isomaltase;
- Hypersensitivity to the components of the drug.

I will not give you how to take it, since a doctor should prescribe a smectite for you. Also, I don't agree with the instructions on the packaging. 1 sachet of smecta 2-3 times a day for children 3 years old is a lot. Situations are different and the dosage is different. Therefore, everyone should not drink the same dosage. 1 sachet of smecta is the norm for an adult, I take my experience of using smecta.

For example, for a child of 6 months, we divide a bag (usual smecta) into 4 parts. And for a child of 1 year into 3 parts. Firstly, it is difficult for a small person to take a lot, and secondly, this is a large dose.

Conclusion: I liked this form of smecta release. It is convenient to take, tastes good, it is small and therefore easy to swallow, who has an aversion to the taste of chalk (which powder smecta has), then this is a great option. The only moment, this smecta is more expensive.

Thank you all for your attention!
