Peptocid Oral Suspension 200ml

Peptocid 200 ml is a multi-purpose anti-dyspeptic and carminative solution designed to relieve symptoms like upset stomach, indigestion, heartburn, nausea, and diarrhea. It contains bismuth subsalicylate, which provides a protective coating in the stomach, aiding in fluid and electrolyte absorption, reducing intestinal inflammation, and binding toxins produced by harmful bacteria.
