Description of the medicine: Sodium sulfate (Natrii sulfas)

SODIUM SULFATE (Natrii sulfas).

Synonyms: Glauber's salt, Natrium sulfuricum.

Colorless transparent, weathering crystals of bitterly salty taste. Easily soluble in water (1: 3 in cold and 3: 1 at +33 'C). When heated, it melts in its crystallization water.

Assign inside as a laxative. The laxative effect of sodium sulfate, as well as of other saline laxatives, is due to a predominantly slow absorption from the intestine and a change in the osmotic pressure in the intestinal cavity: under the influence of the drug, water accumulates in the intestine, its contents are diluted, the peristalsis intensifies and the quicker masses are rapidly eliminated. A direct role is also played by direct stimulation of sodium receptor sulfate in the intestinal mucosa.

Unlike plant laxatives containing antraglycosides, salt laxatives act throughout the intestine. The effect usually occurs 4 to 6 hours after administration.

The dose of sodium sulfate for adults is 15 - 30 g per reception, for children - at a rate of 1 g for 1 year of life. Assign on an empty stomach.

Sodium sulfate, as well as other saline laxatives, is indicated for food poisoning, as it not only cleanses the intestines, but also detains the absorption of the poison and its entry into the blood.
