Medicine Description kapect 19.3gm
Kapect 120 ml syrup is a medication composed of light kaolin and pectin, which work synergistically to manage diarrhea. Light kaolin is a naturally occurring clay that absorbs excess fluid in the intestines, while pectin is a soluble fiber that forms a gel-like substance when mixed with water. This combination helps to bulk the stool, reduce bowel movements, and provide a protective coating to the intestinal lining. By absorbing toxins and excessive secretions, Kapect assists in alleviating the discomfort associated with diarrhea, promoting a more normalized digestive process.
