Smectite powder sachets are pharmaceutical formulations primarily composed of montmorillonite clay, a natural aluminosilicate. The core process involves micronization and purification to ensure high adsorption capacity for toxins and pathogens. While exact molecular formulas vary by source, the general structure is (Na,Ca)0.33(Al,Mg)2Si4O10(OH)2·nH2O with CAS No. 12172-73-5.
Avoid concurrent administration with other oral medications due to potential adsorption interference. Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C to prevent moisture-induced clumping. Not recommended for patients with severe intestinal obstruction.
