What is Care Kaolin & Morphine Mixture? 

This medicine is a mixture of Kaolin and Morphine that provides relief for diarrhoea or an upset stomach. It works by removing toxic substances from your digestive system and calms the gut by neutralising excess stomach acid. Kaolin & Morphine mixture is an ideal choice of diarrhoea relief if you prefer liquid medicines over tablets. 

Why do I have diarrhoea and an upset stomach? 

Diarrhoea and stomach discomfort go hand in hand, and suffering with them can be really uncomfortable, unpleasant, or even distressing. There are various reasons you could be suffering from diarrhoea and an upset stomach, including: 

  • Food poisoning

  • A food allergy or intolerance

  • A viral infection, such as norovirus

  • A bacterial infection, such as E.coli

  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

  • An inflammatory bowel disorder 

  • A reaction to medication

Fortunately, stomach bugs don’t usually last for more than a few days and diarrhoea relief is available to help you feel better. 

What is Kaolin and how does it work? 

Kaolin is a natural clay mineral that can be found in nature, or recreated in a laboratory. The clay can be used for a variety of medical purposes, including diarrhoea and stomach discomfort. Kaolin works as an active ingredient in this medicine by removing toxic substances from your digestive system and increasing the bulk of solid waste, relieving diarrhoea.

How will Care Kaolin & Morphine Mixture relieve my upset stomach? 

Whilst 2g of kaolin light works as diarrhoea relief, 500mg of sodium hydrogen carbonate will neutralise excess stomach acid and leave your stomach feeling more settled. 0.916mg of morphine hydrochloride will help to relieve any stomach pain you may be experiencing. 

What is the recommended dosage? 

For adults and children over the age of 12, take 2 x 5ml spoonfuls. You can repeat this dose up to 3 times a day if required. You must not take this medicine with alcoholic or hot drinks, and you must not exceed the stated dose.

  • You have an addiction to alcohol
