The active ingredient contained in Smecta Go is dioctahedral smectite which belongs to a group of anti-diarrheal gastrointestinal protectant. The anti-diarrheal gastrointestinal protectant activity is due to its powerful coating property on the gastrointestinal mucosa. By interacting with glycoprotein of mucus, Smecta Go increases the resistance of the mucosal gel in response to aggressive agents. Smecta Go is neither absorbed nor metabolised.
