Streptoquin contains 200mgs of Hydroxyquinoline, 2.5mgs of Novatropine, 200mgs of Sulphathiazole and 100mgs of Stremptomycin.

This is an anti-infective/antibiotic, so it will only work if your problem is caused by an infection, not a virus or other illness.

Have you seen a doctor? It is not wise to use an antibiotic unless it is necessary, due to the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria.

I am sorry, I cannot find any information on anything under the name Diax, do you happen to know what is in it?

Bit late for a useful response but I took these (Antinal or Diax) and Streptoquin after trying Imodium which doesn't work!!. Both work in tandem on the malady known as 'Egyptian Tummy'. Antinal (Nifuroxazide - 200mg) acts as an anti irritant (or antiseptic) to the stomach & bowel linings, to ease the cramps etc whilst Streptoquin acts as an antibiotic (it is now used on animals in the UK as it's considered 'old fashioned' ) but is perfectly adequate for the job. As with all antibs you must take the full course of tablets - usually 12 (3 times a day for 4 days)

I've just been given Diaz myself in Egypt, been told this is a painkiller for the parasite I've picked up. Worked really effectively....
