Diax /5 Susp 220 Mg 60 ml

Description:

Diax 220 mg/5 ml oral suspension is an anti-diarrhoeal prescription medicine containing nifuroxazide, an intestinal antiseptic used to treat infectious diarrhea. It acts locally in the gut to help control acute and chronic diarrhea caused by susceptible bacteria, reduce intestinal inflammation, and support restoration of normal bowel function. This suspension is suitable for adults and children, and is commonly used as part of comprehensive management of infectious diarrhea and intestinal dysbiosis under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Treatment of infectious diarrhea in children and adults caused by susceptible bacteria.
• Adjunctive treatment in chronic colitis and enterocolitis of infectious origin, as prescribed by a physician.
• Adjunctive therapy in combined treatment of intestinal dysbiosis (imbalance of intestinal flora), together with other measures recommended by the doctor.
• Relief of symptoms associated with infectious diarrhea such as increased stool frequency and watery stools.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Nifuroxazide – 220 mg per 5 ml oral suspension.
• Concentration per ml: 44 mg nifuroxazide/ml.
• Excipients: Full list of inactive ingredients is not available in the provided information. Please refer to the package leaflet for complete excipient details.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Route of administration: Oral use only.
• Diax suspension may be taken with or without meals, as directed by your doctor.
• Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure uniform suspension.
• Use the provided measuring device (spoon or cup) to measure the exact dose. Do not use household teaspoons.
• Adults and children: The exact dosing regimen for the 220 mg/5 ml suspension should be determined by the prescribing physician based on age, body weight, and severity of diarrhea. The typical total daily dose of nifuroxazide in adults is up to 800 mg/day, divided into multiple doses; your doctor will translate this into the appropriate ml of suspension.
• Duration of treatment is usually 5–7 days or as prescribed. Do not exceed the recommended duration without medical advice.
• Maintain adequate fluid and electrolyte intake (oral rehydration solutions) to prevent dehydration, especially in children and elderly patients.
• If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps control infectious diarrhea by acting locally in the intestine against susceptible bacteria.
• Reduces stool frequency and improves stool consistency, supporting faster symptom relief.
• Acts primarily within the gut with minimal systemic absorption, which may reduce risk of systemic side effects compared to some other antibiotics.
• Supports restoration of intestinal balance when used as adjunctive therapy in intestinal dysbiosis, colitis, and enterocolitis as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to nifuroxazide, other 5-nitrofuran derivatives, or any component of the formulation.
• Do not use in case of suspected or confirmed invasive diarrhea with high fever and blood in stools without medical evaluation, as systemic antibiotic therapy may be required.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of allergic or asthmatic reactions, as hypersensitivity reactions (including asthma and skin reactions) have been reported.
• If diarrhea persists for more than 3 days, worsens, or is accompanied by fever, blood or mucus in stools, severe abdominal pain, or signs of dehydration, stop treatment and consult a doctor immediately.
• Not recommended for use in very young infants unless specifically prescribed and supervised by a pediatrician.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or breastfeeding. Safety data in pregnancy and lactation are limited; use only if clearly needed and prescribed by a physician.
• Patients with chronic illnesses (such as severe liver disease, kidney disease, or immunosuppression) should consult their doctor before use.
• Do not use with other anti-diarrhoeal agents that reduce intestinal motility (such as loperamide) unless advised by your doctor.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without appropriate medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Gastrointestinal: Short-term abdominal pain, nausea, or transient worsening of diarrhea may occasionally occur.
• Hypersensitivity reactions (require immediate discontinuation and medical advice): skin rash, pruritus (itching), urticaria, and in rare cases respiratory symptoms such as asthma or bronchospasm.
• Very rare or unknown frequency: more severe allergic reactions (e.g., angioedema, anaphylactic reactions). Seek urgent medical attention if you experience difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
