Mechanism of Action
KAOLIN
Kaolin adsorbs water, toxins and bacteria, contributing to firmer stools, reducing fluid loss from diarrhea
ACTIVATED CHARCOAL
Active charcoal acts by binding to the poison to prevent stomach and intestinal absorption. As binding is reversible, a cathartic such as sorbitol may be added as well. Additionally, it interrupts the enterohepatic and enteroenteric circulation of some drugs/toxins and their metabolites
