Catidral Plus 30 Sachets Diosmectite and Electrolytes

Catidral Plus it is a medical device 30 sachets of powder to dissolve in water, for acute and chronic diarrhea and for the pain that accompanies them.

The diosmectite, 3 grams per sachet, it's the component that does the work. It's one clay natural, and works for adsorption: its sheet structure has an enormous surface area in relation to weight, and on that surface it retains toxins, bacteria and viruses, which then pass away with the feces. It is useful in case of diarrhea, and the same structure allows it to lie on the intestinal mucosa acting as a protection.

The electrolytes they are the part that the name "Plus" adds, and they respond to the other problem of diarrhea, which is not just the evacuation but what is lost with it. Sodium chloride, potassium chloride, potassium citrate e sodium citrate they replenish the salts, and the glucose it is not there for the taste: the transport of sodium through the intestinal wall is coupled to that of glucose, and is the principle on which all oral rehydration solutions are based. I am useful in case of loss of fluids and salts.

The adsorbent power of diosmectite has a downside that the manufacturer declares and which is worth knowing: may interfere with the absorption of other drugs taken by mouth, which must therefore be taken remotely. The product contains sugars, given that it concerns those who are diabetic or follow particular diets, and should not be given to those suffering from chronic constipation.

The dosage for the first three days is up to 4 sachets for children aged 2 years and older up to 6 for adults, it is then halved until resolution. It is not used for more than 5 days consecutive. One sachet dissolves in 100 ml of water, away from meals.
