Warnings

The high adsorbent capacity of diosmectite may interfere with the gastrointestinal absorption of some orally administered medicines, therefore any other oral therapies should be taken at a distance from Catidral plus.
Catidral plus should not be given to people suffering from chronic constipation.
When given to diabetics or people on special diets, bear in mind that Catidral plus contains sugars.
