The effectiveness of diosmectite and electrolytes, as confirmed by clinical studies
Malaysian Research
Methods:
A double-blind, randomized study of the effectiveness of diosmectite in 300 children aged 1-36 months. Patients were randomized into groups with diosmectite in combination with electrolytes, vs placebo.
Scheme for taking diosmectite:
A course of 6 g/day (for children 1–12 months) and 12 g/day (for children 13–36 months), for at least 3 days, until complete recovery.
Results:
Reduction in stool volume in the diosmectite + electrolytes group, as compared with placebo + electrolytes, by 50%.
PERUVIAN Research

According to most European and world recommendations and treatment protocols, the first step in the treatment of diarrhea is to restore the water-electrolyte balance. Oral rehydration solutions, namely electrolytes, are prescribed for this purpose. It is especially important to maintain the proportions of electrolytes in the composition of the product.
The electrolyte composition of the D-ORS product was developed in accordance with the recommendations of the ESPGHAN organization – the European Association of Pediatricians, Gastroenterologists, Hepatologists and Nutritionists. The above-mentioned studies showed that the simultaneous intake of electrolytes and diosmectite leads to an acceleration of recovery by 43%, and a reduction in the volume of fecal matter by 50% within 72 hours.
D-ORS is a unique product containing electrolytes and diosmectite, with no analogues in the territory of Ukraine.
