Sodium thiosulfate injections and instructions for their use
In especially severe cases or with a long-term course of allergies, if the use of local antihistamines is ineffective, the patient may be prescribed sodium thiosulfate injections. The injections work as antitoxic, cleansing the liver, intestines and blood.
The result is visible relief, neutralization of allergic manifestations and a lasting therapeutic effect.
We will discuss below how to take the drug Sodium Thiosulfate correctly and in what cases it is most often prescribed, as well as what the effect of this drug is.
Pharmacological action and release form
The drug Sodium Thiosulfate is sold in glass ampoules in the form of a ready-made solution for injection. In general, the drug initially has the appearance of a crystalline powder. Dilute it with water for injection in a 1:1 ratio. The taste of the powder granules is slightly salty with a bitter taste.
Important: crystals of Sodium Thiosulfate powder do not dissolve in alcohol.
Russian pharmacies offer ampoules with a 30% solution of the drug. Ampoules have a capacity of 5, 10 or 50 ml. Ampoules are sold in cardboard packaging of 5 or 10 pcs. in one pack. In addition, at the pharmacy you can purchase the drug for intravenous administration in a dropper format in terms of 300 mg of the drug per ml.
When a drug is administered orally, its effect on the human body is structured as follows:
- The components of the product bind toxins and form non-toxic compounds with them. Sodium Thiosulfate works especially well against heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic, lead, and thallium.
- In addition, due to the presence of sulfur molecules in its composition, the drug perfectly neutralizes sublimate, iodine, phenols and hydrocyanic acid in the patient’s body.
- Prevents the absorption of toxins into the intestinal mucosa and stops them from entering the blood.
When the drug acts in the patient’s body, the following positive processes are observed:
- The liver is intensively cleansed of toxins;
- The functioning of the gastrointestinal tract organs is improved;
- Manifestations of allergy symptoms recede;
- The condition of nails, skin and hair improves.
Important: the drug can be taken not only intravenously, but also orally or topically. But the maximum effect is still achieved with intravenous administration of the drug.
Instructions for use and composition
If the reader wants to know what the drug Sodium Thiosulfate consists of, then we inform you that the composition of the injection solution includes the following components:
- Sodium thiosulfate (active ingredient);
- Sodium bicarbonate (excipient);
- Water for injection (auxiliary component).
Indications for the administration of intravenous injections according to the instructions for use are:
- Allergic reactions of the patient's body in a protracted form (dermatoses, hay fever, contact or food allergies, alcohol intoxication);
- Acute intoxication with heavy metals, bromine salts, hydrocyanic acid, iodine;
- Myalgia;
- Lupus erythematosus;
- Arthritis;

- Diseases of the liver and pancreas;
- Neuralgia;
- Scabies (externally only and in combination with hydrochloric sulfur solution).
Contraindications to the use of the drug are:

Side effects
If the patient experiences an overdose of the drug, the following side effects of the drug or reactions may occur:
- A decrease in the total volume of blood in the body, which makes it difficult for the heart, kidneys and liver to function;
- A sharp drop in blood pressure;
- Allergic reactions due to intolerance to the components of the injection solution.
Intravenous administration of the drug
In this case, the largest dose to use the injection will be 50 ml once. This dosage is indicated for poisoning with heavy metal salts (mercury, lead, arsenic, etc.). If necessary, the doctor may prescribe another identical injection with a dosage halved. This treatment tactic is used in very severe cases and only in a hospital.
An average dosage of 5-10 ml is administered once for toxic poisoning and allergic reactions of moderate severity.
It is important to understand that injections of this drug are initially difficult to tolerate, so the intravenous injection must be given very slowly. Firstly, the injection itself is painful.
Secondly, if intravenous sodium thiosulfate is administered too quickly, blood pressure may drop sharply. Slow administration of the drug gives the body the opportunity to adapt to the processes occurring in it.
In addition, with intravenous injection of Sodium Thiosulfate, the patient experiences mild dizziness and nausea. Then the patient feels an initial fever, and then chills.
The course of treatment with Sodium Thiosulfate injections averages 20 injections. But still, the doctor prescribes the exact treatment tactics depending on the patient’s condition.
Important: after intravenous injection, the patient should remain in a supine position for another half hour until blood pressure stabilizes.
Oral administration of the drug
Internal use of the drug has a less pronounced therapeutic effect. However, often an allergist or dermatologist prescribes the medicine in this form.
To prepare an oral solution, you need to mix two ampoules of the drug with a glass of drinking water and drink it with any citrus juice, since the taste of diluted Sodium Thiosulfate is, to put it mildly, specific.
The finished dose (a glass of solution) should be divided into two and the first half should be drunk after breakfast, and the second half after dinner. The course of such treatment is 10-14 days.
Important: when taking the drug orally as a drink on an empty stomach, diarrhea may occur. Therefore, the drug must be taken in this form very carefully. If such a side effect occurs, you should abandon Sodium Thiosulfate. Before starting treatment with such a drug, it is advisable to change your diet by excluding meat, dairy products, coffee, alcohol and fast food.
External use of Sodium Thiosulfate
In order to reduce allergic reactions on the skin and other skin rashes, your doctor may recommend using Sodium Thiosulfate solution externally. Here the treatment technique looks like this:
- The skin is prepared by taking a hygienic shower without using gels with fragrances and fragrances. It is best to use simple baby or laundry soap;
- Apply a 60% solution of the drug to dry affected skin and leave until dry;
- After crystals of the drug form on the skin, it is treated again with the same solution;
- The third time after drying, the skin is treated with 6% hydrochloric acid and wait until it dries completely.
Important: this application must be left on the skin for 2-3 days, and only then can everything be washed off.

How to take sodium thiosulfate to cleanse the body?
Manufacturers of modern medications use all available means to impose the opinion on consumers that one drug cannot serve as a panacea for all ills.
Moreover, what worked great last year is not effective today. This statement is true only for viruses and bacteria, and only if the previous course of treatment was not completed properly. In other cases, old, time-tested drugs work no worse, even after a decade.
But that is not all! Modern pharmacies sell several dozen different medications based on the same active substance. This applies to medications of almost any class. What about the intoxication of the body or its cleansing?
How much money needs to be spent to get rid of severe alcohol poisoning, not to mention industrial poisoning with mercury vapor, arsenic, etc. But all of the above can be accomplished by one inexpensive drug, sodium thiosulfate!
What kind of drug is sodium thiosulfate?
Sodium thiosulfate is a transparent crystal that easily dissolves in water. The active substance of the same name in an acidic environment interacts with potassium, lead, mercury ions and their radicals, forming sulfur and sodium compounds that are safe for the human body.
The action of sodium thiosulfate is to cleanse the body of toxins and neutralize most inorganic poisons, including cyanides. The drug interacts worse with poisons of organic origin (poisons of animals and insects), since organic molecules do not have a polar structure.
Sodium thiosulfate is available in powder or ampoules. In ampoules, the active substance is diluted in saline solution. 30% and 60% solutions of 5 or 10 ml are available for sale.
Instructions for use
Sodium thiosulfate is administered intramuscularly, it can be administered intravenously either as part of a dropper, or separately or in a mixture with sodium chloride, sodium hydrosulfide and other solutions.
Maximum dosage of 30% solution in ampoules:
- Orally up to 30 ml per day;
- Intravenously up to 20 ml per day;
- Intramuscularly up to 15 ml per day.
Injections are given only during inpatient or outpatient treatment in the treatment room.
A 30% solution in ampoules diluted with water is taken orally:
- for alcohol intoxication – 20 ml 2 times a day;
- for poisoning with mercury vapor up to 30 ml per day, 20 ml before bedtime and 10 ml in the morning;
- to cleanse the body, 5 ml 2 times a day.
Side effects are observed when the daily dose is exceeded, when taken for more than 12 days, and when the body is individually sensitive to sulfur. These are weakness, diarrhea, dizziness and hypovolemia.
Those who have low blood pressure, heart disease, kidney or gallstones, stomach or duodenal ulcers, low hemoglobin, or cancer should not take the drug. Sodium thiosulfate should not be used to cleanse the body of the effects of chemotherapy, as well as during pregnancy and the lactation period.
What is sodium thiosulfate used for?
There are the following indications for taking this drug:
- Industrial poisoning with salts of heavy metals.
- Poisoning with iodine, bromine and other halogen salts.
- Alcohol poisoning.
- Cleansing the body's endocrine system.
- Cleansing the gastrointestinal tract.
- As hypoallergenic.
- Skin cleansing.
- As a remedy for scabies mites and some insects, instead of mercury ointment. Read more about how to cure scabies in people.
Important! Sodium thiosulfate removes aldehydes, but not ethyl radicals, from the body. It is prohibited to drink alcohol while taking the medication. This can lead to heart attack, stroke and other disastrous consequences, often fatal.
Cleansing the body with sodium thiosulfate
The body cleansing course lasts 10-12 days . During the course you should not eat smoked meats, spicy and fried foods and raw vegetables. Sodium thiosulfate increases the volume of contents in the intestines. Therefore, loose stools are normal.
3-5 days after the start of treatment, the first results will appear: lightness in the body, vigor after waking up, clarity of thinking, improved memory. Cleaning joints takes much longer. The drug will have to be taken for 21 days or more, but 5 ml per day.
Ingestion to cleanse the body
As already mentioned, sodium thiosulfate is available in powder and ampoules. For oral administration, the drug in ampoules is recommended, since a 30% solution of the active substance in saline solution is absorbed faster.
Important! Do not divide the contents of one ampoule into 2 parts! If you need to take 5 ml 2 times a day, it is better to buy 2 ampoules of 5 ml, and not one of 10 ml. Sodium thiosulfate is not an antibiotic; therefore, harmful microorganisms can enter the left solution.
Skin cleansing with sodium thiosulfate
Sodium thiosulfate cleanses the blood of toxins and the circulatory system of microthrombi. This has a positive effect on the condition of the skin. It becomes elastic, wrinkles are smoothed out, boils and pimples disappear.
Applying a 60% solution to the surface of the skin for cleansing purposes is best done under the guidance of a cosmetologist, in order to avoid irritation of sensitive skin or allergies to the drug. This is rare, but it happens.
Reviews from doctors
Reviews from doctors:
- Alexandra Pamysheva, endocrinologist: “To improve the functioning of the endocrine system, most of my colleagues prescribe hormonal drugs. The effect is achieved in a few days. But, as they say, one thing heals, the other cripples. Not only do you have to pay more than 10,000 rubles for several droppers, but even after achieving the desired effect, you won’t be able to give up hormones right away. To gradually reduce their dosage you need to spend one and a half times more. I recommend sodium thiosulfate. For 800-1000 rubles, the functioning of the endocrine system is normalized due to the removal of toxins - and there is no dependence.”
- Valery Krylov, dermatologist: “Not only patients with skin diseases come to me, but also those who want to improve their properties. Well, of course, a cosmetologist costs more. Sodium thiosulfate is very popular today. These are ampoules of 5-10 ml. To cleanse the skin, this drug is taken until all wrinkles are smoothed out. But this is not worth doing. You should take it for no more than 10 days, and then repeat it if necessary, no earlier than after 3 months. After all, the restructuring of cells in all 3 layers of the dermis takes up to several months. So don’t take a step away from the instructions!”
User reviews
Patient reviews:
- Maria: “I’m a student, I also work part-time. So there is not enough time for normal sleep, and even more so for nutrition. Naturally, a lot of snacks and all sorts of junk food. All this is very reflected on the skin: there are always acne, the complexion is not a fountain. And a friend advised me sodium thiosulfate - supposedly it cleanses the body of waste and toxins. I didn’t believe it too much, but decided to try it. And after a week I noticed the result - my complexion became fresher, there was no increase in acne. I felt completely better after a month, although I no longer took thiosulfate. So it’s an excellent tool.”
- Oleg: No. The pool is my passion. Even though I didn’t forget for a moment about the other side of the coin of this pleasure, it still happened. Got scabies. The first time I smeared myself with some kind of sulfur talker. I was pretty tired. Next time I was advised to lubricate the skin with 60% sodium thiosulfate. It went faster, and most importantly, the body didn’t itch as much. I go to the pool as before, but I no longer think about how I’ll suffer for 2 weeks after accidentally touching the wall in the shower.”
Where can I buy?
Due to the low cost of the drug and the lack of aggressive advertising in the media, the likelihood of counterfeits is negligible.
Anyway, try to buy ampoules or powder in pharmacies at clinics or hospitals. By the way, recently this drug is available only by prescription.
Consequently, the attending physician will advise where you can purchase this product in a particular locality.
Price
The average price of an ampoule of 30% solution is 40 rubles for 5 ml, 80 rubles for 10 ml. The 60% solution is 80-100% more expensive. The lowest cost is from the Novosibirsk manufacturer.
Conclusion
Why did a drug that is not classified as a narcotic or other psychotropic drug begin to be dispensed by prescription, because this significantly reduces the sales volume of the drug? Such measures are used when many cases of adverse effects from taking a medicine accumulate.
Cleansing the body, in most cases, causes a feeling of euphoria. Appetite increases significantly. Well, how can you resist eating something tasty and why stop taking the medication if it helps? These 2 factors together are the main cause of side effects from the use of the drug, not counting individual intolerance.
What if there are stones in the body? Then any cleansing of it is contraindicated. In order for sodium thiosulfate to bring the maximum possible benefit and not irreparable harm to health, begin a course of treatment or cleansing only with the permission of your doctor and under his clear guidance.

The drug can be taken orally and administered parenterally (via droppers or injections). External use possible. The dosage regimen and dosage regimen for adult patients and children are selected individually by the attending physician.
In order for the veins to become more voluminous, the patient should be given 300-400 ml of water to drink 40-60 minutes before the procedure. 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.
The medication is not intended for intramuscular administration. Sodium thiosulfate can cause extensive tissue necrosis at the injection site.
External use
For scabies, the solution is used externally. The affected areas of the skin are wiped with a 60% solution. The product is rubbed in until completely absorbed. The treated surface can also be wiped with a solution of 6% hydrochloric acid.
To cleanse the blood, an emulsion is prepared based on the powder, which is taken orally. With systematic use, the patient's general condition improves. The medicine has a beneficial effect on nails, skin, and hair. For depression, the medicine helps to level out the psycho-emotional background.
Single dose - no more than 10 ml. The solution must be diluted with boiled water at room temperature in a ratio of 1:10. The course of treatment is at least 10 days. It is recommended to take the medication one hour before meals three times a day.

- You can take citrus-based drinks (juice is diluted with water in a 1:1 ratio).

An effective addition to sodium thiosulfate for psoriasis is enema therapy, which will accelerate the elimination of toxic substances and increase the effectiveness of treatment.
Indications for use of the medication
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that develops for several reasons.
Why does psoriasis occur:
- Impairments in the functionality of the immune system;
- Hereditary factor (25% of people get the skin disease from their parents);
- Hormonal abnormalities;
- Psychological disorders;
- Infectious diseases;
- Metabolic disease.
Typically, the cause of a skin disease is not considered to be a single disorder, but several factors are taken into account. It is impossible to cure the disease, but modern medicine can put it into a state of long-term remission with the help of properly selected therapy.
At the first manifestations of psoriasis, doctors often prescribe sodium thiosulfate. Therapy with the drug significantly improves the patient’s condition by cleansing the body and stimulating immune cells. In addition to skin irritations, there are other indications for the use of sodium thiosulfate.
Indicated for:
- Heavy metal poisoning (mercury, lead, arsenic, bromine, etc.);
- Severe allergic manifestations;
- Joint damage;
- Damage to peripheral nerves in any area of the body;
- Scabies;
- Selective use for tuberculosis and removal of ovarian cysts.
Sodium thiosulfate for psoriasis began to be used due to the wide spectrum of action of the drug. When used correctly and following the instructions, it provides effective treatment and eliminates the symptoms of the disease for a long time. Stabilizes the patient's condition, virtually eliminating periods of exacerbation.
Action:
- Cleanses blood and lymph, attracting toxic substances;
- Neutralizes heavy metals, providing a restorative effect;
- Increases intestinal contractions, which contributes to its rapid cleansing;
- Weakens the absorption function of the gastrointestinal mucosa.
It is recommended to take sodium thiosulfate orally. For external use, a 30% solution is applied to the affected areas of the body. The dosage is determined depending on the severity of the disease. The duration of drug therapy is at least 10 days.
Patient reviews
Natalia:
I have suffered from psoriasis since childhood. She was prescribed various medications and underwent all available treatment methods, both traditional and folk. It was not possible to achieve a normal result until the dermatologist prescribed treatment with sodium thiosulfate. The effect surprised even the doctor - all the plaques were completely healed, the skin became clean! Six months have passed since the completion of the course and so far there are no signs of the disease returning.
Oksana:
In the evening I took theosulfate, and in the morning my face was covered in rashes, although I had never noticed this before. The doctor said that I need to reduce the dosage by half, and then gradually increase it again.
Peter:
I have a severe form of psoriasis. I drank this miracle solution last year, everything was fine, without side effects. The taste was interrupted by lemon. There was lightness in the mornings and a noticeable improvement. The doctor prescribed a repeat course due to an exacerbation.
Elina:
With exacerbations of psoriasis, the plaques become convex, flake more intensely, and inflammation is noticeable. I was prescribed to first drink sodium thiosulfate, then magnesium and on the 12th day of the course a vitamin complex. This treatment helps for about six months to a year.
