Uses of Noxagyl DL Suspension

Benefits of Noxagyl DL Suspension

In Treatment of Diarrhea

Diarrhea is a condition in which you frequently pass loose, watery stools. Noxagyl DL Suspension helps treat diarrhea by killing the bacteria causing infections as well as prevents them from multiplying. Noxagyl DL Suspension makes the stool less watery as well as reduces the frequency of loose motions. It also restores the level of good bacteria in your stomach and thus prevents stomach upset due to the antibiotics. This helps you to stay well and do your daily activities without any problem. Since diarrhea causes loss of fluid from the body, drink plenty of fluids to make sure you stay hydrated.

In order to prevent the spread of infection, it is advisable to always wash your hands after using the toilet.
