About this product
Overview
Diosecta 3 gm powder contains Dioctahedral Smectite (3 gm). It comes as a sachet. The pack contains 30 sachet powder.
Dioctahedral smectite is a natural clay that coats the lining of the gut and binds toxins, bile salts and some bacteria. It firms up the stool without slowing the bowel down, which makes it usable in children as well as adults.

Diosecta 3 gm powder is used for:
- Acute diarrhoea in adults and children
- Diarrhoea related to infection or food upset

- Heartburn and oesophageal discomfort, in some formulations
Side Effects
Like all medicines, Diosecta 3 gm powder can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common ones include:
- Constipation if continued too long
- Bloating
- Nausea
Tell your doctor if a side effect is severe or does not go away.
Precautions
Rehydration is the treatment that actually saves lives in diarrhoea, so ORS comes first and this comes second. Space it at least two hours from other medicines, because the clay binds them too and reduces their absorption. Seek medical care for blood in the stool, high fever, persistent vomiting, or signs of dehydration in a child such as sunken eyes, no tears or reduced urine.
Tell your doctor about any other medicines or supplements you take, any allergies, and if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
