Bonnisan Liquid for Colic Pain -100 & 200mls

A Summary Table of Important Information

How Bonnisan Liquid Works

From a pharmacological perspective, Bonnisan acts through the synergistic effects of its phytoconstituents:

• Carminative Action: Dill Oil (Anethum graveolens) contains carvone and limonene, which relax the smooth muscles of the GI tract, facilitating the expulsion of gas and reducing bloating.

• Antispasmodic Activity: The formulation inhibits smooth muscle contraction, thereby relieving the acute abdominal pain associated with smooth muscle spasms in colic.

• Secretagogue Effect: Ingredients like Piper longum stimulate the secretion of digestive enzymes (amylase, lipase, protease), enhancing the digestion of macronutrients and subsequently improving appetite.

• Hepatoprotective: Tinospora cordifolia helps modulate the immune system and supports liver function, protecting the GI mucosa.
