Smectite vomiting eliminates all unpleasant symptoms, the effectively fights toxins and removes them from the body.

The description of the drug

Smecta is a powder grayish-white color, which is dissolved in a small amount of water and is available in paper bags of 3 grams. The active substance of the drug performs dioctahedral smectite (diosmectite) – is a substance that is extracted from limestone, found on the Mediterranean coast. This drug due to its natural origin permitted to take both adults and newborns. The preparation also contains sweeteners and flavourings (vanillin).

Smectite operates as follows:

• cleans the digestive tract from harmful toxins and bacteria;
• coats the intestines, allowing harmful substances to be absorbed in its walls and transported throughout the body;
• reduces peristalsis, thereby stops the vomiting.

The drug acts selectively, that is, removes from the body toxic compounds that have caused poisoning, and does not violate the balance between natural microflora and conditionally pathogenic flora in the intestine. Smectite is not absorbed into the blood and excreted from the intestine with stool in the same form in which it is ingested.

The drug has a broad spectrum, and is used not only for nausea and vomiting, but in the presence of the following symptoms:

• diarrhea of any nature;
• heartburn and acidity;
• pain in the digestive tract;
• allergic reactions caused by eating foods-allergens;

The drug helps to cope with diarrhea and bloating, which quite often have a babywithout influence on the composition of natural intestinal flora.

But vomiting in children does not occur due to simple indigestion – the most common cause of such a reaction of the organism is the intestinal infection. Children's digestive tract is most susceptible to this disease, despite the fact that parents carefully select the freshest ingredients for a child. Most often, the vomiting, caused by intestinal infection that occurs on the background of teething, as the child pulls in a mouth everything that comes to hand. However, vomiting is only a symptom which can have many causes, such as:

If the child is still too small and can't say what hurts, he continues to rant and be joined by other symptoms, e.g., fever, you should call an ambulance. If a baby began vomiting, keep him upright so he wouldn't choke on it.

If the symptoms the child is only observed vomiting, without fever, diarrhea and constant whims that happened once – it can indicate that the baby ate too much fatty foods. In this case, the smectite nausea andvomiting is appropriate, since it neutralizes the effect of fermentation products in the stomach and intestines, and normalizes digestion of the baby.

Smectite is dissolved in 100 ml of water and quickly drink until the powder settled. The taste of the drugs are quite specific, though it is composed of sweeteners and vanilla. However, the good news is that the baby can mix the medicine to drink, e.g. juice, breast milk or mixed in food.

Vomiting in young children may occur with motion sickness during a trip that requires receiving any medication – enough to stop and give the child to drink water and move away from pitching. In addition, children under the age of six months immediately after eating may be a so-called vomiting "fountain" of breast milk or formula feed.

Thus, the treatment will gradually accumulate in the intestine.
