"I took the tablet form, which is not mentioned on this website. (Perhaps that form is new.) I took one dose (two tablets) after the first BM. I took two more one hour later after the second BM. That was the last BM after several days of diarrhea. This diarrhea is a side effect of a new Rx medication, which I am continuing to take. I had no side effects from Kaopectate."
