Dược Lực Học :
Attapulgite is an adsorptive magnesium aluminium phyllosilicate which binds to toxins, bacteria and water.
Cơ Chế Tác Dụng :
Attapulgite is a magnesium aluminium phyllosilicate which occurs in a type of clay soil common to the Southeastern United States. When used in medicine, it physically binds to acids and toxic substances in the stomach and digestive tract. For that reason, it has often been used in antidiarrheal medications. Until 2003, it was the active ingredient used in Kaopectate, before that product was reformulated with bismuth subsalicylate.
Attapulgite adsorbs water, toxins and bacteria, contributing to firmer stools, reducing fluid loss from diarrhea.
