<p>An anti-diarrhea composition comprises diarrhea symptom-reducing amounts of a hydrous magnesium aluminium silicate clay in finely powdered form and activated by thermal treatment, as absorptive material capable of absorbing pathogenic intestinal bacteria, a sodium salt, a potassium salt and a sugar. Suitable sugars are glucose and dextrose. The composition may also contain a suspending agent. It may be packaged in solid form for admixture with water prior to administration. The absorptive material may be packaged separately from the salts and sugar. On admixture with water for administration, the composition preferably contains, per litre, 2.5 to 15 g of absorptive material, 10 to 30 g of glucose, 60 to 120 mEq of Na+, 10 to 50 mEq of HCO- and 10 to 30 mEq of K+.</p> |
