Medicine Description pectokal 19.3gm
Pectokal 100 ml syrup is a medication that combines light kaolin and pectin to offer a dual-action approach for addressing gastrointestinal disturbances. Light kaolin acts as an adsorbent, binding to toxins and irritants present in the intestinal lumen, thus facilitating their removal and reducing inflammation. Pectin, a soluble fiber, forms a gel-like substance when mixed with liquids, which not only helps to absorb excess water but also creates a protective film along the gastrointestinal lining. This combination not only aids in reducing fluid loss but also promotes the formation of firmer stool, helping to alleviate diarrhea-related symptoms effectively.
