How can this company be so negligent on the instruction of the use of its product?? The "How to Use" instruction was on the INSIDE of the backlabel.

KAOPECTATE TABLETS WITH ATTAPULGITE WORKED WELL WITHOUT CAUSING DROWSINESS AS IMMODIUM AD DOES AND IS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN PEPTO BISMOL. AS A PHARMACIST I LIKED THE FACT THAT IT COULD BE SAFELY USED WHEN FOOD POISONING MIGHT BE SUSPECTED DUE TO ITS ABILITY TO ADSORB BACTERIAL TOXINS. I PERSONALLY WOULD RECOMMEND THIS AS A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENT.
