Chemical compound
Colloidal silicon dioxide is a form of silicon dioxide. In colloidal form, it is used in medicine as an enterosorbent (Asorb, Alesorb, Alfasorb, Novosorb, Polysorb, Sorboxan) and externally for purulent-inflammatory diseases of soft tissues (purulent wounds, phlegmon, abscess, mastitis). In addition, due to the high level of safety in many countries of Europe and Asia, enterosorbents based on silicon dioxide are presented in the form of dietary (food) supplements and can be sold outside pharmacies.
The sorption surface of enterosorbents based on colloidal silicon dioxide is in the range of 300-400 m² per 1 g of the main substance.
