Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics: Due to its leaflet structure and its high plastic viscosity, SMECTA/SMECTAGO possesses a powerful coating property on the gastrointestinal mucosa. By interacting with glycoprotein of mucus, SMECTA/SMECTAGO increases the resistance of the mucosal gel in response to aggressive agents. By its action on the gastrointestinal mucous barrier and its high binding capacity, SMECTA/SMECTAGO protects the gastrointestinal mucosa. SMECTA/SMECTAGO is radiolucent, does not colour the stools and, at usual doses, does not modify the physiological intestinal transit time.
Pharmacokinetics: According to structure of diosmectite (active ingredient), SMECTA/SMECTAGO is neither absorbed nor metabolised.
