This type of medication may interfere with the absorption of other drugs. It is undesirable to use Smecta together with antibacterial drugs.

Precautionary measures The trial was performed in a homogeneous Tunisian population with positive stool culture in 26% of the patients. These figures are consistent with those reported in the literature and previously in Tunisia [ 4, 6, 23, 25]. Of note is that most patients had a recent episode of acute diarrhoea, similar in both groups (median time from first watery stool to treatment onset = 1 [0–3] day from the 1st watery stool to inclusion (NS)), with at least one associated symptom such as nausea, abdominal pain, or anal irritation in >90% of the patients and a median number of six stools per day before treatment onset. Hence, it can be extrapolated that if the primary endpoint variable had been measured from the time of onset of diarrhoea, instead of from the first intake of study drug, the difference between the two groups would still have been the same, that is, 15.2 hours. Moreover, this pattern of diarrhoea is in accordance with the definition of acute diarrhoea in developed countries [ 4, 25, 26]. Therefore, it can be estimated that results of the present study can be extrapolated to western countries.
