Kaolin/Pectin
別名: Kaopectolin, Kao-Pec, Kao-Pect, Kaolin Pectin Suspension, Kapectolin
- **Shake the bottle well** before each use to ensure the suspension is properly mixed. - **Do not substitute human products:** Never give human over-the-counter diarrhea medications (like modern Kaopectate or Pepto-Bismol) to your pets, especially cats, without veterinary approval. Many of these now contain bismuth subsalicylate, which is highly toxic to cats. - **Monitor your pet:** This medication may help firm up the stool but does not cure the underlying cause of diarrhea. - **When to call the vet:** If the diarrhea persists for more than 48 hours, or if your pet appears listless, lethargic, develops a high fever, or shows signs of dehydration, contact your veterinarian immediately.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。

- Increased fecal sodium loss (documented in rats)
注意事項與禁忌
- Should not be used as the sole treatment for severe or chronic diarrhea
- Should not replace adequate fluid and electrolyte monitoring/replacement therapy
- There are no absolute contraindications, but kaolin/pectin **must not be relied upon to control severe diarrheas**. It is not a substitute for appropriate fluid and electrolyte replacement therapy. Use with caution in debilitated, very young, or geriatric patients due to the risk of fecal impaction. **Verify product ingredients**, as many human brands (e.g., Kaopectate) have replaced kaolin/pectin with bismuth subsalicylate, which is toxic to cats.
藥物相互作用
- Digoxin: Kaolin/pectin may impair the oral absorption of digoxin. Separate doses by at least 2 hours.
- Lincomycin: Kaolin/pectin may inhibit the oral absorption of lincomycin. Administer kaolin/pectin at least 2 hours before or 3-4 hours after the lincomycin dose.
