Benefits of Distinon 60mg Tablet 10s

Myasthenia gravis / Paralytic ileus / Post-operative urinary retention / Reversal of effect of skeletal muscle relaxant after surgery

In Myasthenia gravis Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disorder that leads to weakness of muscles that are under our control, such as those of the eyes, face, and swallowing.

Distinon Tablet induces contractions in the intestinal muscles and improves their function. As a result, there is better movement of food and this treats the obstruction. Take it as advised by the doctor and follow your doctor?s instructions carefully. In Post-operative urinary retention After an operation, there may be problems in emptying the bladder.
