Pharmacological properties

In clinical pharmacology studies, diosmectite has demonstrated the ability to:

• restore normal mucosal permeability (in a clinical study in children with gastroenteritis).

Due to the valve structure and high plastic viscosity, diosmectite has a high enveloping ability on the mucous membrane of the digestive tract.

The pooled results of two double-blind, randomized trials comparing Smectosorb powder to placebo in 602 patients 1 to 36 months of age with acute diarrhea showed a significant reduction in bowel movements within the first 72 hours Smectosorb powder when combined with oral rehydration.
