There are many poorly studied diseases.Scientists, conducting research, can not always accurately determine the cause of their occurrence. One such is psoriasis. Red inflamed skin, covered with peeling crust during the period of exacerbation, give their carriers a terrible discomfort.
The drug that cures psoriasis does not exist.Scientists have developed a special program, which includes a diet, a set of bath procedures and the use of anti-inflammatory drugs. One of the drugs used in psoriasis is sodium thiosulfate.
Sodium thiosulfate is a salt that exerts detoxification action. It is most often used in case of poisoning with salts of heavy metals (mercury, lead and others).
When poisoning with heavy metals and cyanides forms less dangerous to humans compounds that are excreted from the body through the kidneys.
In medical practice, sterileThiosulphate sodium solutions are 30% and 60%. A smaller dosage is used intravenously and orally. 60% solution is used only for external application in complex therapy for scabies and psoriasis.
Psoriasis is poorly understooddisease. The reasons for its occurrence are not known exactly, and the methods of treatment can be different. This is due to the specificity and individual course of the disease in each patient.
One hypothesis suggests that the causepsoriasis is the abnormal behavior of cells responsible for the body's immunity. Psoriatic plaque - a site of inflammation, formed by the proliferation of tissues by excessive division of cells (leukocytes, macrophages and keratinocytes).
The second hypothesis is that the causepsoriasis can become a number of factors simultaneously affecting the body: severe stress, taking certain medications, dry, prone to irritation, peeling skin, dermatitis complicated by fungus or bacterial infection.
If the first reason requires specific treatment, then the second - elimination of the provoking factor. That's when complex therapy comes into effect, which includes several stages.
Psoriasis is a chronic disease with periodsexacerbation and remission. In each case, it is impossible to predict when the acute phase begins. There are sluggish forms, which almost do not affect the quality of life of their carriers.
In the early stages of psoriasis, the attending physician tries as little as possible to harm the patient. For the treatment of mild forms, topical preparations are used: ointments, lotions, creams.
Such "easy" treatment is due to the fact that drugs that are prescribed for severe forms of the disease are toxic. They give a lot of side effects and are considered an extreme measure.
If a dermatologist considers psoriasis asa type of dermatitis, treatment is assigned accordingly. Drugs will be used to purify the liver, as well as ointments that remove redness and flaking.
If we consider that sodium thiosulfate in psoriasisIt is used precisely as a detoxification agent, there are only two ways of using it: intravenous administration and oral intake. Both methods have their own peculiarities.
Dermatologists offer two methods of treatment: pierce sodium thiosulfate intravenously or drink for ten days.
The simplest and most painless method is considered to beorally 30% solution. How to drink sodium thiosulfate in psoriasis? It is very simple: a sodium thiosulphate ampoule is diluted in a glass of clean water at room temperature.
The resulting solution is divided into two steps.Half a glass in the morning half an hour before a meal and as much in the evening with a meal or two hours after it. The course of treatment is ten days. At this time, it is advisable to follow a diet.
On your table should be vegetables, fish orchicken, cereals, soups. Products preferably boiled or steamed. Viscous cereal is in the morning. Exclude potatoes, pasta and smoked products.
With choleretic and laxative actions,sodium thiosulfate with mucous masses removes toxins and toxins. It is worth paying close attention to the planning of long trips during treatment, especially in the first 2-3 days.
If the patient has a more neglected form of psoriasis, the attending physician may prescribe a ten-day course of injections. This procedure is carried out daily in a medical institution and only by specialists.
Experienced nurses working in the hospital,know that sodium thiosulfate in psoriasis is intravenously injected slowly. The procedure takes from five to seven minutes. If you enter the solution quickly, there may be negative consequences in the form of dizziness, nausea and severe headaches.
After taking sodium thiosulfate, lie down for 10-15 minutes. Thus it is possible to avoid unpleasant sensations.
Sodium thiosulfate can give allergicreactions in people who are hypersensitive to this drug. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the health of the kidneys. If a person has chronic diseases of this organ, it is worth not to take sodium thiosulfate with psoriasis intravenously or orally. After all, the main way to remove the drug from the body is with urine through the kidneys.
With caution appoint this drug to hypertensive people, people with chronic liver diseases, heart failure, as possible deterioration of the general condition of patients.
If your doctor has prescribed a course of sodium thiosulfate for psoriasis, instructions for use should be clearly written by him, in order to avoid an overdose.
A particular issue is the use ofpsoriasis of sodium thiosulfate in pregnant women, lactating women. Clinical studies in this category of patients have not been conducted. Therefore, the application is possible only if the benefit to the mother exceeds the risk to the fetus or there is a need for life indications. Therefore, this category of patients is practically not prescribed sodium thiosulfate for psoriasis.
To have a beautiful tanned skin is a dream of anygirls, but it happens that suddenly there are small red spots, increasing in size over time, as the disease can progress.
Opinions of patients who received a course of this drug,were divided. Most of it gives positive feedback on such a drug as sodium thiosulfate. In psoriasis, only it is recommended and only intravenously.
The only drawback of this procedure is the mandatory presence of a good nurse who can correctly make an injection. After the "bad" introduction, many felt dizzy, nauseated, and abdominal pain.
But this method of reception gives a quick result, noticeable already on the third or fourth day. Redness disappears, the skin becomes smooth and clean.
Those who used oral solutionreception, noted not only the good tolerability of sodium thiosulfate. An additional advantage was the rapid weight loss due to cleansing of the intestine. On average, patients lost from three to five kilograms.
Negative responses 30% solution of sodium thiosulfate was obtained in patients with more severe forms of psoriasis. They underwent a course of intravenous injections, but there was no noticeable improvement.
In the case of a complicated fungal or bacterialThe solution of Demjanovich No. 1, which contains 60% of sodium thiosulfate, is used for psoriasis infection. This drug treats not only various dermatitis complicated by fungi and infections, but also scabies, as well as demodicosis.
According to the instructions, with psoriasis, 60% sodium thiosulfate is used together with hydrochloric acid, which helps to cleanse the upper layer of the skin from dead cells and form a new, healthy one.
When treating with Demjanovich's solution, it is necessaryapply a solution of sodium thiosulfate three to four times a day. It helps to relieve inflammation, itching, unpleasant sensations in the region of formed plaques. And only once affected areas are treated with hydrochloric acid. Thus, the skin is not so badly injured and irritated.
To say that the use of sodium thiosulfatewith psoriasis - it's a panacea for a poorly treatable disease, you can not. To complete a full ten-day course of therapy, it is necessary to consult a specialist. Only he can say with certainty whether you need to apply it or not. After all, sodium thiosulfate should be introduced with caution: when deviating from the rules, undesirable consequences are possible.
