Daiagon Capsule

Daiagon Capsule contains Racecadotril (100mg), a powerful antidiarrheal medicine used for the treatment of sudden (acute) diarrhea. It helps by reducing excess fluid secretion in the intestines without affecting normal gut movement. Daiagon Capsule provides quick and effective relief from diarrhea symptoms, helping to prevent dehydration and promote faster recovery. It is generally well-tolerated and can be used alongside oral rehydration therapy for better results.
