Sodium thiosulfate - what is it?
Na2S2O3 is a salt of thiosulfuric acid and sodium. It is capable of identifying areas of accumulation of poisons and toxic compounds in tissues, and is involved in the binding of free radicals and elimination. This is an excellent antidote and detoxification medicine. The product is in demand and is used to renew the body.
Pharmachologic effect:
- antioxidant;

Na2S2O3, binds toxins. Parenteral administration helps well with intoxication with mercury and lead. Doctors use the substance as emergency medical aid.
When poisons accumulate in the body, experienced doctors recommend sodium thiosulfate as a means of detoxification. Food poisoning, irritation of the intestines and mucous tissues of the gastrointestinal tract, respond well to treatment with Na2S2O3.
Previously, traumatologists and orthopedists used the drug for joint pain. Now, due to the lack of scientific evidence, the method is considered dubious.
Since seasonal allergies significantly darken the lives of patients, it is during the acute phase that it is recommended to use sodium thiosulfate. It should be emphasized that while in a state of remission, the drug is not advisable to use.

pharmachologic effect
The drug is a specific antidote with complex effects. The medication is prescribed as a drug that reduces the body's sensitivity to irritants. Provides anti-inflammatory, antiparasitic and anti-scabies effect.
Sodium salts in combination with thiosulfates in the body capture semimetal and metal salts, fluorides, bromides, iodides and cyanides. Widely used in various branches of medicine as an antidote for hydrogen cyanide and phenyl hydrogen, mercuric chloride, aminobenzene, hydroxybenzene and chromium.
In the body, arsenic, lead and iodine form sulfites (non-toxic). If a person is poisoned by hydrocyanic acid, detoxification (cyanide disposal) is mandatory. The drug cleanses the body when negative consequences occur due to long-term use of a number of medications.
Cyanide combines with rhodonase (an enzyme) to convert to thiocyanate. The medication accelerates the process of eliminating toxins by stimulating the catalysis of rhodonase. The use of the drug in dermatology is due to its ability to decompose into sulfur and its oxide. The components eliminate itching in dermatitis and have an anti-itch effect. In case of allergies, intravenous sodium thiosulfate provides an antihistamine effect, acting as a selective blocker of neurotransmitters that provoke swelling of the mucous membrane, hyperemic reaction and bronchospasm.
The active substance contains sulfur, whose molecules capture heavy metal particles and trigger the process of regeneration of damaged tissues. The drug restores intestinal motility, prevents the formation of fecal plugs and ensures the removal of toxins. The medication is able to slow down the absorption of toxins through the mucosa, which prevents them from entering the systemic bloodstream.
When administered into a vein, the substance enters the bloodstream and is evenly distributed throughout tissues and fluids. The maximum concentration is reached after 35-40 minutes, the substance leaves the body unchanged along with urine. The drug is matoloxic.

You should also take into account the individual characteristics of the body and the presence of concomitant diseases. If there are any changes in health status, the course should be interrupted and consult a doctor.
The drug is contraindicated for hypotensive patients. After taking it, you feel weakness, disorientation, dizziness, tremors of the limbs, and rapid loss of strength.
Receipt
In industry, sodium thiosulfate is synthesized by oxidation of sodium sulfide, hydrosulfide or polysulfides. In addition, one of the common methods is the interaction of sulfur with sodium sulfite:
The addition of sulfur to sulfite suspensions is carried out with constant stirring. The addition of cationic surfactants increases the wetting of sulfur and, accordingly, the reaction rate. The yield of the reaction depends on the temperature, the amount of sulfur and the intensity of stirring. Solutions of sodium thiosulfate are filtered hot, having previously gotten rid of excess sulfur, and when cooled, the hydrate Na 2 S 2O 3 · 5H 2 O crystallizes from them, which dehydrates at a temperature of 60-105 ° C at atmospheric or reduced pressure. The purity of the product is about 99% and has minor impurities of sulfite and sodium sulfate.
Other industrial methods include treating sodium compounds with sulfur dioxide:
Sodium thiosulfate is also synthesized as a by-product in the production of sulfur dyes, where sodium polysulfides are oxidized by nitro compounds:

The vessel where the needle is supposed to be inserted needs to be massaged for 30-40 seconds: the area will warm up and the vessel will expand, which will make it easier to administer the medicine. Before giving the injection, you need to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and dry them. To minimize the risk of infection, it is necessary to put on medical gloves in advance.
The medicine is prepared immediately before injection: the ampoule with sodium thiosulfate is opened, the solution is drawn into a syringe and excess air is released. To maintain sterility until the injection is completed, a cap is placed on the needle. The skin area is wiped with an alcohol wipe. A tourniquet is wrapped around the arm (7-10 cm above the intended injection site). It is secured with a knot or wrapped. The patient should clench and unclench his palm for a few seconds.
The needle is inserted at an angle of 45°. The medicine must be administered in the direction of blood flow. The solution is injected slowly over 30-40 seconds. Before starting the injection, the tourniquet is removed from the arm. The daily dose of thiosulfate for intravenous administration is 50 ml. For convenience, it can be divided into several parts. In this case, use a 30% solution.
Is it possible to inject intramuscularly?
The medication is not intended for intramuscular administration. Sodium thiosulfate can cause extensive tissue necrosis at the injection site.

Features and indications for intravenous administration of the drug
Injection of the drug into a vein is indicated for cyanide poisoning. Entering the body, Na2S2O3 is distributed into the fluid outside the cells, while half is excreted by the kidneys in its original form. Toxic substances disintegrate under the influence of the medicine into safe components.
After determining the exact diagnosis, the contents of the ampoule are administered slowly. Single dose for an adult – 50 ml. For children, 250 mg/kg is calculated.
If the symptoms recur, the drug is administered again, but the dose should be half the original. When administering sodium thiosulfate, monitoring of blood pressure is required.
Intravenous administration is indicated for serious poisoning. If thiosulfate is administered for angioedema, then it is inappropriate to hesitate in this matter - a quick reaction can save a life.
How does sodium thiosulfate act on the human body?
The drug activates detoxification processes that occur in the liver. According to its chemical properties, sodium thiosulfate is a supplier of free sulfur, which has a beneficial effect on the synthesis of necessary enzymes. It is used mainly in the form of a 30% solution by injection into a vein. With this administration, the substance is quickly distributed in tissues and organs, and is also quickly excreted unchanged by the kidneys - its half-life is just over half an hour.
Is it possible to drink sodium thiosulfate? - yes, but for this purpose it is necessary to take a 10% solution. And you need to take into account that the effect of the medicine will occur more slowly and not as strong.

- works as a moderate laxative - stimulates the excretion of intestinal contents;
- cleanses the liver;
- has a choleretic effect;
- normalizes digestive functions and liver function;
- is an antidote for poisoning with heavy metals - arsenic, lead, mercury, as well as cyanide, for overdose of lidocaine and some other substances;

It is enough to consume sodium thiosulfate two to three times a year to make the body stronger.
special instructions
If a person is poisoned by cyanide, the antidote must be administered immediately due to the high risk of death of the patient. If within 48 hours the patient does not show symptoms of intoxication again, then the drug does not need to be taken. The patient must be under medical supervision for the first 24 hours after poisoning. If symptoms return, thiosulfate is administered intravenously at half the dose, maintaining an interval of 5-10 hours between injections.
The powder has a specific smell, so many patients doubt whether they purchased the original drug. Authenticity can be checked by mixing a small amount of powder with iodine. Once the chemical reaction has begun, the granules become colorless.
