Kaopectate(original), Kao-Pect
Kaolin adsorbs toxins and bacteria in GI tract. Pectin forms protective coating on intestinal mucosa. Does not reduce fluid loss.
OTC product. NOTE: Many current Kaopectate products contain bismuth subsalicylate instead — verify formulation. May reduce absorption of other oral drugs.
