Kapect Suspension For Diarrhoea - 120 Ml

Product Name

  • Kapect Suspension

 

Scientific Name

  • Kaolin, Pectin Suspension

 

Category Of Kapect Suspension

  • Anti-Diarrheal Suspension

 

Mechanism Of Action Of Kaolin, Pectin Suspension

  • Kaolin acts by adsorbing gases, toxins and bacteria from the alimentary tract and by increasing the bulk of stools; thus it is employed in the symptomatic treatment of gastrointestinal conditions associated with diarrhea.
  • Pectin not only provides additional adsorptive power to that of kaolin, but it also has a coating effect on the bowel.
  • Thus, the combination of both is a simple, safe and efficient antidiarrheal product that combines both adsorbent and demulcent properties essential for the treatment of diarrhea.
