Diastop Suspension is a specialized oral medication designed to provide relief from diarrhea. Its primary active ingredient, kaolin, is a naturally occurring clay mineral known for its adsorbent properties. This formulation offers a safe and effective solution for managing acute diarrheal episodes in both adults and children.
Uses
Diastop Suspension is primarily used to treat acute diarrhea and associated symptoms. It’s particularly effective in reducing the frequency and liquidity of stools, providing relief from abdominal discomfort, and helping to prevent dehydration. This medication can be beneficial for travelers’ diarrhea, food poisoning-related diarrhea, and other causes of acute loose stools.
Benefits
- Rapidly reduces the frequency and liquidity of stools
- Helps alleviate abdominal discomfort associated with diarrhea
- Aids in preventing dehydration by reducing fluid loss
- Gentle on the digestive system
- Suitable for both adults and children (under medical supervision)
- Can be used alongside oral rehydration therapy
- Non-systemic action minimizes side effects
How It Works
Diastop Suspension works through the adsorptive properties of kaolin. When ingested, kaolin forms a protective coating on the intestinal mucosa, reducing irritation and water secretion. It also binds to toxins, bacteria, and other irritants in the gut, facilitating their removal from the body. This dual action helps to normalize bowel movements and reduce the duration of diarrheal episodes.
Dosage
Adults and children over 12 years: 10-20 ml after each loose bowel movement, not exceeding 8 doses in 24 hours. Children 6-12 years: 5-10 ml after each loose bowel movement, not exceeding 6 doses in 24 hours. Children under 6 years: Consult a healthcare professional for appropriate dosing. Shake well before use. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
Side Effects
While Diastop Suspension is generally well-tolerated, some users may experience mild constipation or abdominal discomfort. These effects are usually temporary. If symptoms persist or worsen, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.
Warning
Do not use for more than 48 hours without medical advice. If diarrhea is accompanied by high fever, blood in stools, or severe abdominal pain, seek immediate medical attention. Ensure adequate fluid intake to prevent dehydration.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using Diastop Suspension. While kaolin is generally considered safe, it’s important to assess the potential benefits against any risks in these situations.
Interaction
- May reduce the absorption of other oral medications
- Could interfere with the effectiveness of certain antibiotics
- Potential interaction with iron supplements
- May affect the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins if used long-term
- Could impact the efficacy of antidiarrheal medications containing attapulgite
Important Information
Use Diastop Suspension as part of a comprehensive approach to managing diarrhea, which should include proper hydration and dietary adjustments. If symptoms persist beyond 48 hours or are accompanied by signs of severe illness, seek medical attention promptly. Store the suspension in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children. Shake well before each use to ensure proper distribution of the active ingredient.
