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.
