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 smecta, which tastes and color is similar to blue clay with a weak taste of either cocoa or coffee, was accepted by the child with a bang. We called her "vitaminka" 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 often and more, 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
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.
Output: I liked this form of smecta release. It is convenient to take, tastes good, it is small and therefore easy to swallow, for those who have an aversion to the taste of chalk (which smecta powder has), then this is a great option. The only moment, this smecta is more expensive.
