The answer is: Kaopectane.

Kaopectate is a medication for the treatment of mild diarrhea.

First, kaolinite was used as the adsorbent in this medication. Kaolinite is aa layered silicate mineral, with the chemical composition Al₂Si₂O₅ (OH) ₄.

Now, bismuth subsalicylate is used as the active absorbent in Kaopectate.

Bismuth subsalicylate has the empirical chemical formula of C₇H₅BiO₄.
