DIOF SUSP 60ML

About

DIOF Suspension is an oral medication primarily used to treat various gastrointestinal infections, particularly those causing diarrhea and dysentery. It typically combines an amoebicidal agent with an antibacterial component, offering a dual-action approach against both protozoal and bacterial pathogens. This synergistic formulation ensures comprehensive coverage, effectively targeting a broad spectrum of microorganisms responsible for intestinal discomfort and disease. By eliminating these pathogenic invaders from the digestive tract, DIOF Suspension helps to reduce inflammation, alleviate symptoms such as abdominal cramps and frequent bowel movements, and restore the gut's normal physiological balance. Its liquid suspension form is particularly advantageous for pediatric patients and adults who may find swallowing tablets challenging, ensuring easier administration and better compliance. It is often prescribed when a mixed infection is suspected or when a definitive diagnosis of the causative agent is pending, providing effective empirical treatment.
