1 Efficacy of

Vomiting is a natural reaction of the body to irritating factors in the stomach, so the body cleans itself of unnecessary substances. Therefore, the first thing that they try to do during diarrhea is to stop the breakdown of the intestine.

Because diarrhea can occur unexpectedly, it is always advisable to have Smecta at hand. Smecta is a powder that looks like chalk. This is the product of processing special clay from the Mediterranean. The powder absorbs( absorbs) into itself toxic substances and removes them from the body naturally. The main advantage of Smekty is that it does not interfere with the beneficial intestinal microflora. Moreover, having got into the stomach and intestines, Smecta envelops the walls of the mucous membrane, which protects it from irritation.

Frequent evacuation of the intestine, in which the stool becomes liquid is called diarrhea. It can cause:

• poor-quality food;
• diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, which leads to violations of the intestinal microflora;
• infection is the simplest ie.worms;
• internal disease;
• reception of medicines.

Even severe excitement and stress can cause diarrhea. Diarrhea can occur suddenly, as a protective reaction of the body to enter the intestines of foreign matter, and can take a chronic form. Therefore, it is important to correctly assess the condition of the person who started diarrhea in order to prescribe the appropriate treatment. There are types of diarrhea, the treatment of which requires taking antibiotics.

But there are also general rules for all types of diarrhea:

1. Multiple drinking is very important in cases of severe diarrhea, as the body loses water along with the calves. This can lead to dehydration, which is accompanied by general weakness, dry mouth, complete loss of appetite, dizziness until loss of consciousness.
2. In case of severe diarrhea, the appointment of Regidron is prescribed. It restores the energy and water balance of the body.

2 Recommendations for receiving

Smecta is manufactured in disposable bags, which makes it very convenient to use. The packet is diluted in 100 ml of water at room temperature and stirred until a homogeneous mass is obtained. With severe diarrhea, you can take up to 3 sachets.

Once inside the body, it envelops the walls of the intestine, relieves it of increased irritation, thereby calming and eliminating accelerated work. Smecta perfectly copes with both infection caused by poisoning, and with viruses associated with any disease of internal organs.

Once in the digestive tract and moving along it, Smecta as a sponge absorbs all toxic substances and removes them from the body. If we compare it with activated carbon, Smecta in many respects surpasses it in its absorbing properties.

Smecta is very helpful for increased flatulence( gas formation), which almost always occurs with diarrhea. It is famous for its ability to envelop the mucous surface of the stomach, duodenum and intestines, forming a protective layer, which is important if a person suffers from a gastritis or other disease. Activated carbon has no enveloping power.
