Antidiarrheal compound. Kaolin is a form of aluminum silicate and pectin is a carbohydrate that is extracted from the rinds of citrus fruits. This product has a claim to act as a demulcent and adsorbent in the treatment of diarrhea. The action of kaolin-pectin is believed to be related to binding of bacterial toxins (endotoxins and enterotoxins) in the GI tract. However, experimental studies have shown that kaolin-pectin has been an ineffective binder of E. coli enterotoxin and clinical studies have failed to show a benefit from the administration of kaolin-pectin. This product may change the consistency of stools, but it will not decrease fluid or electrolyte loss, nor will it shorten the duration of illness. Kao-Pectate formulations contain salicylate as one of the active ingredients.
Kaolin and pectin combinations are used for the symptomatic treatment of acute diarrhea. Despite the lack of clinical evidence of efficacy, some veterinarians administer this drug for short-term treatment. Commercial forms that contain salicylate (8.68 mg/mL) may have anti-inflammatory effects to decrease secretory diarrhea caused by bacteria.
