1. What type of preparation is Béres Diarin tablet and in what cases can it be applied?
The Béres Diarin tablet takes effect exclusively physically by bonding poisonous substances and flatus of bacterial origin. Owing to its adsorptive and mucous lining attributes, it protects the intestinal mucosa and helps restore the normal gut flora or intestinal microflora.
It can be applied for complaints emerging as a result of digestion problems of various origins:

• bloating
• mild diarrhoea.

2. Before taking Béres Diarin tablet
Do not use Béres Diarin tablet if you are hypersensitive to any of the constituents of the preparation, and below the age of 3.

Pregnancy and lactation
The preparation can be taken during pregnancy and lactation, because polyvinyl polypyrrole does not absorb from the stomach and the intestines, so it does not pose a threat to either pregnant women or the baby.

The effects of the preparation on driving capabilities and capabilities of the operation of machines
It does not influence such capabilities in the recommended dose.

Interaction with medicines applied during the use of the preparation

If you took more Béres Diarin tablets than prescribed
