A bulk promoting agent (exerting its effect mainly by a hydrophilic action) for the control of faecal consistency, and after-surgery constipation and diarrhoea in cats. The Sterculia in Peridale takes up as much as 60 times its own volume of water, forming a gelatinous mass. This increases the bulk of the intestinal contents, promotes peristalsis and helps to ensure the easy passage of a soft stool. Sterculia is an otherwise inert substance, not absorbed and so not exerting any systemic effect.

Indications in cats:

- Control of specific and non-specific diarrhoea.

- Control of faecal consistency following surgery.

- After-surgery constipation.
