Attapulgite (magnesium aluminum phyllosilicate) is a clay mineral found in soils common to the Southeastern United States. It is widely used in medicine as an over-the-counter drug for the treatment of diarrhea. Attapulgite acts by physically binding to aacids and toxic substances in the stomach and digestive tract.
