Alcohol poisoning - treatment

Alcohol poisoning very rarely refers to dangerous types of poisoning, but this does not mean that it does not need to be treated.

Often poisoning with this substance occurs because of an overdose, but it also happens that a chemical agent has been added to the drink that causes severe toxicity. Often harmful additives are contained in fakes, so before taking a drink, you need to make sure that it is made by the official manufacturer.

To reduce the likelihood of poisoning, you need to pay attention to the following details of the design of the container and liquid:

1. The excise stamp must be glued exactly and be whole.
2. The container and the label on it must exactly repeat (in color and form) the design, which is presented on the manufacturer's website.
3. The smell of alcohol can be sharp, but the distinct smell of alcohol should not be noticeable.
4. The color of the liquid (if it is not a liqueur) should be clear, without sediment.

Doing a test of alcoholic beverages on these 4 items before consumption, you can several times reduce the likelihood of alcohol poisoning.

Alcohol poisoning: treatment with pharmacies

Treatment of alcohol poisoning at home can be done in several ways: through pharmacy or home remedies. The most effective result is provided by a combination of these methods, so it is not worth neglecting one of them.

The main goal in the treatment of alcohol poisoning is the purification of the body. This happens in several stages:

1. It is necessary to drink a large amount of water (at least 1 liter), and then cause vomiting.
2. After the stomach is completely cleansed, drink more water. Since alcohol dehydrates the cells of the body, abundant drinking becomes the first indispensable tool: on the one hand, the body will balance moisture, and on the other hand, it will help accelerate the removal of toxins from the body. In kidney disease, you need to follow this method with caution.
3. Then the body is cleaned with drugs - sorbents. These include activated carbon, and white coal. When alcohol poisoning is particularly effective enterosgel, which will reduce symptoms of toxicity within an hour. Liferan - another natural sorbent, which will help to remove the symptoms of poisoning, but its effect is not as quickly manifested as the effect of activated carbon or enterosgel.
4. Because alcohol poisoning causes great damage to the liver, you should take amino acids that will help her work. One of the drugs containing them is glutargin.

If alcohol poisoning was severe, then you should call an ambulance, which will deliver a dropper with drugs that purify the blood from toxins.
