Medicine Description streptoquin 100mg
Streptoquin 100 mg tablets is a medication that combines multiple active ingredients including cliquinol, homatropine, phenolphthalin, and streptomycin to address gastrointestinal disorders. Cliquinol has antimicrobial properties that combat infections in the intestines. Homatropine acts as an anticholinergic agent, regulating bowel motility and reducing spasms.
