Kaptin 486.6 mg / 43.3 mg Suspension, made by Lisko, is an absorbent anti-diarrhoea mixture. Its active ingredient is Kaolin + Pectin 486.6mg/43.3mg, and it is used for mild diarrhoea. Pack size: 60 ml suspension.

Uses of Kaptin 486.6 mg / 43.3 mg Suspension

Kaptin 486.6 mg / 43.3 mg Suspension mixture is used for short-term relief of mild, uncomplicated diarrhoea in adults. It can help firm up loose stools, but it does not treat the cause of the diarrhoea or replace lost fluids. For most cases, especially in children, oral rehydration salts (ORS) are the most important treatment, and diarrhoea usually settles on its own within a few days.

How Kaptin 486.6 mg / 43.3 mg Suspension works

Kaolin is a fine natural clay and pectin is a soluble fibre from fruit. Together they absorb water, bacteria and irritants in the gut, forming a gel that bulks up the stool and makes it firmer. They are not absorbed into the body and pass out in the stools.

Possible side effects

Kaptin 486.6 mg / 43.3 mg Suspension is generally gentle on the body, though it can cause:

• Constipation
• Bloating
• A feeling of fullness
• Mild stomach discomfort

See a doctor urgently if there is blood or mucus in the stools, a high fever, severe stomach pain, or signs of dehydration such as a dry mouth, very little urine or drowsiness.

Precautions and warnings

• Seek medical advice if diarrhoea lasts more than two days in adults, or sooner in children, older people or anyone who seems unwell.
• Kaolin can reduce the absorption of other medicines taken at the same time, so keep a gap between them as your pharmacist advises.
• Keep drinking fluids and use ORS to prevent dehydration while you have diarrhoea.
• It is not recommended for young children without medical advice.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your pharmacist or doctor before use.

Storage

Store the dry powder below 30°C in a dry place. Once mixed with water, follow the storage and discard instructions printed on the pack, and shake well before each use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
