The antisecretory factor – an efficient tool for rapid recovery from early childhood diarrhoea

High doses of Antisecretory Factor stop diarrhea fast without recurrence for six weeks post treatment

“…The response to AF agrees with previous studies in man and in animals (Finkel et al, 2004;Lange et al, 1993;Laurenius et al, 2003;Zaman et al, 2014;Zaman et al, 2013;Zaman et al, 2007). The randomization of the children resulted in an uneven distribution of age and gender.…”

“…At a 95% confidence interval, assessing at a power of 90% for obtaining a consistency of stools with a difference of 50% as a successful outcome initially in the two groups, we calculated a sample size of 20 in each group (Zaman et al, 2014;Zaman et al, 2013;Zaman et al, 2007). All of the children received the standard diarrheal treatment as outpatients.…”

“…We have previously shown that peroral treatment of children with Salovum effectively counteracts diarrheal diseases of various etiologies (Zaman et al, 2014;Zaman et al, 2013;Zaman et al, 2007). A registration of the children's health status, with a focus on diarrheal diseases recurrence during the diarrhea rehabilitation period has, however, not been performed.…”

Antisecretory factor effectively and safely stops childhood diarrhoea: a placebo‐controlled, randomised study

“…The patients responded with a further reduction in the number of stools and normal stool consistency, which was obtained significantly faster in the Salovum group than in the control group. No adverse effects of Salovum intake have so far been registered in any of our studies .…”

“…The results demonstrated a reduction in stool numbers (p = 0.0054) and that a total recovery within 3 days was more common (p < 0.001) in the Salovum group when compared to the placebo group. Later, in a pilot study, we tested the response to diarrhoeal illness in a separate group of children (7–60 months) where we doubled the initial dose of Salovum . The patients responded with a further reduction in the number of stools and normal stool consistency, which was obtained significantly faster in the Salovum group than in the control group.…”
