GASTROINTESTINAL ADSORBENT IN ORAL SUSPENSION ENTEROSGEL 225 G

Description
Medical device.
Gastrointestinal adsorbent indicated for the treatment of acute diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea.
ENTEROSGEL is an oral intestinal adsorbent (enterosorbent) composed of an organic mineral, capable of adsorbing certain toxic and harmful substances (for example endotoxins and enterotoxins) in the intestine, which it physically binds to its surface, reducing the frequency of bowel movements and the duration of diarrhea.
ENTEROSGEL is eliminated through the feces, removing adsorbed toxins and harmful substances, with beneficial effects in the treatment of the indicated conditions.
