Antinal 200mg Capsules 24s is an antidiarrheal medicine containing nifuroxazide, a broad-spectrum intestinal antiseptic used to treat acute bacterial diarrhea and gastroenteritis. Each capsule delivers 200mg of nifuroxazide, which acts locally in the gut to help stop diarrhea-causing bacteria. Manufactured by Amoun and available across the UAE, this 24-capsule pack is a trusted option for fast relief from bacterial diarrhea and symptoms of food poisoning when used as directed.

How It Works

Nifuroxazide is a broad-spectrum intestinal antibacterial that works directly inside the gut rather than being absorbed into the bloodstream. By acting locally, it targets many of the bacteria responsible for acute diarrhea and gastroenteritis while leaving the rest of the body largely unaffected. It is intended for diarrhea of suspected bacterial origin and works alongside, not instead of, proper rehydration. Antinal does not replace the need to drink plenty of fluids, since replacing lost water and salts is the most important step in managing diarrhea at any age.

Important Information

Do not use Antinal if you are allergic to nifuroxazide. Stop use and seek medical attention if you notice signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing. Consult a doctor if diarrhea lasts more than three days, or if it is accompanied by fever, blood in the stool, or signs of significant dehydration, as these may need different treatment. Rehydration with oral rehydration solution or plenty of fluids is essential alongside this medicine. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, use it only after consulting a healthcare provider. Always read the patient leaflet, keep out of reach of children, and store at room temperature as directed on the pack.

Antinal Capsules are based on a single, well-established intestinal antiseptic:

• Nifuroxazide 200mg per capsule - a broad-spectrum intestinal antibacterial that acts locally in the gut

• Non-systemic action - it stays largely within the intestine, which is why it is described as having a local effect

• Targets bacterial diarrhea - used for acute diarrhea and gastroenteritis of suspected bacterial origin

Antinal is not appropriate for viral diarrhea such as stomach flu without medical advice, and it does not treat the underlying dehydration that diarrhea causes.

Use as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. For these 200mg capsules the usual approach for adults is:

1. Adults: one capsule taken by mouth three to four times daily, generally after meals.

2. Continue only for the duration advised by your doctor, and drink plenty of fluids throughout.

3. These capsules are not intended for children under 2 years; a suspension form exists for younger children, so ask your pharmacist about the right option.
