Introduction of Entrogyl Tablet

Entrogyl Tablet is used to treat diarrhea and abdominal pain. It works effectively to reduce abdominal pain, bloating, and cramps by relaxing the muscles of the stomach and gut. It neutralizes excessive acid in the stomach and helps in easy passage of gas. It also kills diarrhea-causing bacteria.

Entrogyl Tablet is a combination of anticholinergic-antispasmodic, antifoaming agent, antiprotozoal agent, and 5-nitroimidazole (antiprotozoal & antibacterial) medicines.
