Direa

Direa is an antidiarrheal tablet for dogs and cats. It contains crospovidone, a bulking agent that absorbs toxins and water in the gut, helping to reduce the severity and duration of diarrhea. Direa is indicated for managing diarrhea caused by various factors like infections, food poisoning, dietary changes, or bacterial overgrowth.

• How it works - Crospovidone in Direa forms a protective gel in the gut, which helps absorb toxins and water, slowing down the digestive process and reducing the severity of diarrhea.

Dosage - For dogs, the typical dosage is 1 tablet per 10-20 kg of body weight twice daily. For cats, it's 1/4 tablet per 2.5-5 kg body weight twice daily.

• Indications - Direa can be used to manage diarrhea and bloating caused by various factors like infections, food poisoning, dietary changes, or bacterial overgrowth.
• Use with other treatments - Direa can be used alongside antibiotics, fluid, and electrolyte therapy.
• When to seek veterinary advice - If your pet's condition doesn't improve or worsens after 3 days of treatment, consult with a veterinarian.
• Safety - Crospovidone is considered biologically inert, meaning it's not absorbed through the gut wall.
