A new enterosorbent silica has been developed and introduced into medicinal practice. This synthetic, a

highly disperse silica with an extended specific surface is characterized by its chemical purity, stability,

and physiological innocuousness. The regular structure of its surface as well as the presence of a large

number of surface reactive sites insure a high adsorptive capacity of Silics with respect to water, protein

molecules, toxins, pathogenic microorganisms and viruses. At present new technologies are being described

for application of Silics as an individual medicinal preparation of sorptive action and as an active basis for a

novel generation of composite drugs for multimodality therapy.
