STORAGE:
Preparations should be stored at room temperature, 15-30°C (59-86°F).

PRESCRIBED FOR:

DOSING:
Attapulgite is taken after each loose bowel movement. Adults and adolescents over the age of 12 years may take 1.2 to 1.5 grams per dose, up to 9 grams per day. Children 6 to 12 years of age may take 600 to 750 mg after each loose bowel movement and up to 4.5 grams per day. Children 3 to 6 years of age may take 300 to 375 mg after each loose bowel movement up to a total of 7 doses per day.

DRUG INTERACTIONS:
Attapulgite can decrease the absorption of benztropine (Cogentin), trihexyphenidyl (Artane), loxapine (Loxitane) and dicyclomine (Bentyl) if taken at the same time. These medications should be taken at least 2 hours earlier or later than attapulgite. Opiate pain relievers, for example, oxycodone (Percocet), hydrocodone (Vicodin), propoxyphene (Darvon), morphine, and codeine cause constipation, and attapulgite (and other antidiarrheals) can make the constipation caused by these drugs worse.
