Kaolin and Pectin Mixture
DESCRIPTION
Kaolin and Pectin Mixture is an off-white suspension with banana flavour. It
is used for the treatment of diarrhoea.
The active ingredient, Kaolin, is not absorbed into the bloodstream from the gut,
instead it binds to and traps bacteria and
bacterial toxins in the gut. Bacteria are often the cause of diarrhoea, so
kaolin works by removing them from the gut.
Kaolin also binds to water in the gut, which helps to make the stools firmer.
