Safety Considerations

Drug Interactions: The data compiled for this report list 84 interactions. The first 20 retrieved include:

  • Major: dolutegravir, bictegravir
  • Moderate: doxycycline, tetracycline, alendronic acid, risedronic acid, ibandronate, allopurinol, proguanil, atropine, baloxavir marboxil, and opioids (codeine, dihydrocodeine, morphine, benzhydrocodone, butorphanol)
  • Minor: beta-blockers (acebutolol, atenolol, betaxolol, bisoprolol)

Kaolin is an adsorbent, which is consistent with reduced absorption of co-administered oral drugs. This is an inference, not stated in the data. Separating administration times is therefore worth considering.

Other safety signals from the retrieved literature:

  • Inhaled kaolin dust is associated with pneumoconiosis (kaolinosis).
  • A 1971 report describes coagulation defects after intravenous kaolin.
  • Because kaolin is pro-coagulant, use in a thrombotic or hypercoagulable condition could be harmful.

Please refer to the TGA-approved Product Information (PI) for warnings and contraindications, as none were available for this report.
