Trade Name:

KAPECT Suspension 120 ml

Composition

Each 100 ml contains:

Light kaolin 19.30 g

Pectin 0.43 g

Properties

Kapect suspension contains kaolin, a native hydrated aluminium silicate, and pectin, a purified carbohydrate product from citrus fruit rind. 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 diarrhoea. Pectin not only provides additional adsorptive power to that of kaolin, but it also has a coating effect on the bowel. Thus, Kapect is a simple, safe and efficient antidiarrhoeal product which combines both adsorbent and demulcent properties essential for the treatment of diarrhoea.
