FAQs

What is Zedott 100mg Capsule used for?

Zedott 100mg Capsule is used for the symptomatic treatment of acute diarrhea in adults. It is given as an add-on to dietary measures and oral rehydration, not as a replacement for them.

How does Zedott 100mg Capsule help in diarrhea?

Zedott 100mg Capsule helps reduce excess fluid loss from the intestines during acute diarrhoea. It decreases intestinal secretion of water and electrolytes, which helps control loose stools without slowing down normal bowel movement.

Yes. Zedott 100mg Capsule does not replace oral rehydration therapy. Adequate fluid and electrolyte replacement remains essential, especially in cases of dehydration.

Zedott 100mg Capsule should not be used if diarrhea is accompanied by blood in stools or fever, or if the diarrhea is related to antibiotic use. It is also not intended for chronic diarrhea.
