Severe constipation, which may lead to faecal impaction, may rarely occur in children and elderly patients taking kaolin and pectin. Kaolin and pectin may interfere with the absorption of other drugs, including antibiotics when administered concurrently.
Appropriate fluid and electrolyte therapy should be given to protect against dehydration. Oral rehydration therapy - which is the use of appropriate fluids including oral rehydration salts - remains the most effective treatment for dehydration due to diarrhoea. The intake of as much as possible of these fluids is, therefore, imperative.
