8. Right, but it was reformulated in 2003 because it hardened in the colon
Kaopectate and Generic Kaolin-Pectin Products - Reformulation < Print >

August 2, 2005

FDA Safety Page - 04/19/2004 - http://healthcare.utah.edu/pharmacy/alerts/kaopectate.pdf

Kaopectate brand products have been reformulated.1 The liquid products now contain bismuth subsalicylate instead of attapulgite. All generic attapulgite-containing medications have been discontinued. The tablets were reformulated to contain bismuth subsalicylate in 2003.

Kaopectate brand products have not contained kaolin and pectin since the early 1990’s when the products were reformulated to contain attapulgite. All generic pectin-containing medications have been discontinued. In 1992, the FDA banned the use of pectin in over-the-counter products, due to insufficient data about its safety and efficacy. No pectin-containing products are currently available although some marketed products may have names such as Kapectolin, Kaopek, Kaolinpec, or K-Pek.

The contents of the current bismuth subsalisylate formulations are as follows:

Kaopectate Regular 262 mg bismuth subsalicylate / 15 mL
Kaopectate Extra-Strength 525 mg bismuth subsalicylate / 15 mL
Kaopectate Children's Cherry 87 mg bismuth subsalicylate / 5 mL
Kaopectate tablets 262 mg bismuth subsalicylate
