Kaopectate brand products have been reformulated.1 The liquid products now
contain bismuth subsalicylate instead of attapulgite. All generic
attapulgite-containing medications have been discontinued. The tablets were
reformulated to contain bismuth subsalicylate in 2003.
Kaopectate brand products have not contained kaolin and pectin since the
early 1990's when the products were reformulated to contain attapulgite. All
generic pectin-containing medications have been discontinued. In 1992, the
FDA banned the use of pectin in over-the-counter products, due to
insufficient data about its safety and efficacy. No pectin-containing
products are currently available although some marketed products may have
names such as Kapectolin, Kaopek, Kaolinpec, or K-Pek.
The contents of the current bismuth subsalisylate formulations are as
follows:
Kaopectate Regular 262 mg bismuth subsalicylate / 15 mL Kaopectate
Extra-Strength 525 mg bismuth subsalicylate / 15 mL Kaopectate Children's
Cherry 87 mg bismuth subsalicylate / 5 mL Kaopectate tablets 262 mg bismuth
subsalicylate
*Precautions*
- Avoid using bismuth subsalicylate in patients receiving chronic
warfarin therapy and in patients who are aspirin sensitive.2
- Monitor patients on valproic acid or methotrexate therapy carefully
as bismuth subsalicylate may increase the concentrations of these
medications.2
- Avoid bismuth subsalicylate in children and teenagers recovering
from chicken pox or flu as these patients are at risk of aspirin-induced
Reye's syndrome.2
- Bismuth subsalicylate was FDA-approved for the treatment of acute
diarrhea in children as young as 3 years of age. The American Academy of
Pediatrics does not recommend bismuth subsalicylate use in young children.
2 As of April 17, 2004, bismuth subsalicylate-containing products
will no longer have FDA-approved pediatric labeling.3
- Be aware that several formulations of Kaopectate are still
available. Consult with prescribers to ensure that patients receive the
appropriate medication.

dear moms...
tengkyu ya udah respon pertanyaanku specially to jeng
gogo, mba uci, mba ela, mba dewi, mba tprahayu, n of
course 4 my cabes ika.. (btw ingat perjanjian sesama
cabes ga perlu panggil mba kan?).
rara emang udah ga dikasih sayur sejak ketawan pupnya
lebih dari 4 kali.
info dsa-ku khusus buah pisang n apel boleh diberikan
ke anak yang terkena diare krn ada enzim/ unsur yang
bisa bantu pup jadi keras ya mirip kaopectate lah cuma
ini kan alami secara kaopectate udah ga disaranin
lagi. tapi dsa-ku dulu ga jelasin buah tsb efektif u/
diare yang disebabkan untuk apa merefer kata mba uci
yang hanya ok u/ diare yang disebabkan oleh bakteri.
nah kalo salak blm pernah dibahas sama dsaku, tapi
mungkin bisa aku coba dulu siapa tau rara mau, pesan
mba ela jangan makan sama kulit arinya.. (hmh..
berarti kudu ngeletekin dulu niy), buah selain yang
disebutkan diberhentikan dulu pemberiannya.
rebusan daun jambu blm pernah dicobain ke rara tuh..
secara aku inget dulu disuruh minum itu aku juga ga
nahan paitnya... tapi insya allah aku coba, sekarang
berarti tinggal cari pucuk daun jambunya aja (mudah2an
tetangga mertuaku ada yang punya)
kemarin dokter kantornya mertuaku nyaranin supaya
susunya selama diare diganti dulu dengan yang LLM (low
lactose milk) cuma pas dicari ko' kebanyakan u/ yang
newborn sampe 1 thn, entah ngaruh ato ga masalah
diferensiasi usia di susu tsb yang jelas aku ga jadi
beli yang LLM itu, tapi sekalian aja aku ganti pake
susu soya belinya yang dus kecil aja ukuran 400gr, toh
diminumnya kan cuma selama diare aja. kalo udah sembuh
ya kembali ke susu uht ato sufor yang biasanya lagi.
sekarang mohon doanya ya mudah2an rara cepat sembuh...
mengenai statement ika yang bilang penanganan rara
udah baik itu semua berkat milis ba juga... makanya
cinta
