Name Diastop Suspension Composition Each 100 ml contains: Calcium carbonate 8 gm Kaolin 8 gm Tincture Catechu 15 ml Tincture Belladonna 2 ml Anise oil 0.2 ml Lemon oil 1 ml Syrup to 100 ml Properties Diastop suspension provides a comprehensive formula, effective for treatment of intestinal disorders associated with diarrhea, intestinal colic and flatulence.

Diastop suspension contains calcium carbonate and kaolin; both components are converted to insoluble calcium and aluminum carbonate in the intestine and increase the viscosity of the intestinal contents helping to stop diarrhea.

Tincture catechu is added to stop diarrhea as it has astringent action on the intestinal mucous membrane.

The associated intestinal colic is relived by the antispasmodic action of tincture belladonna. Delayed passage of the intestinal contents leads to more water being absorbed, which causes decrease in intestinal tone and motility through hyoscyamine, a competitive antagonist to acetylcholine.

Anise oil, being carminative and antispasmodic relieves flatulence, associated gastric and intestinal colic and gives the sense of well being.

Lemon oil renders Diastop palatable with an accepted taste. Indications For Diarrhea and Intestinal Colic - Acute diarrhea in infants and young children. - Summer diarrhea.
