Common side effects may include: nausea, headache, diarrhea and dizziness.

I have had loose motions since yesterday with pain and gas. I took a lot of tablets and drinking a lot of water but no use. Now the motion is purely water and the pain is on and off. Please tell me what medication i should use. ## Have you seen a doctor? This really sounds like it could be a virus or food poisoning and, depending on the severity, you may need some medical treatment to rectify the problem and prevent dehydration. As to medications, I don't know what you have already tried, nor do I know where you are located, so I don't know what is available for you. Usually, to treat the diarrhea, products that contain Loperamide are quite effective. You should, however, continue with the increased fluid intake, to help prevent the dehydration. ## I have taken nor floxtz medici...

Is the azithromicina 500 effective for severe diarrhea? What is the dosage? I have had severe diarrhea for 3 days. Pepto bosom and Imodium slow it down but it comes back . ## Hello, Jack! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're having. The FDA classifies this medication as an antibiotic, so it is only effective at treating or preventing bacterial infections, which also means that it can actually cause diarrhea as a side effect, along with nausea, dizziness, and headache. Thus, it might be best to have this checked out by your doctor, because if this is due to something viral, then an antibiotic will not help and could just end up making the diarrhea worse. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is there any interaction between papaya papain with simethicone? ## Hello, Belle! How are you? I'm sorry, but supplements are not evaluated for possible interactions with medications. Have you tried checking with your pharmacist? They may know more. But since Papaya is really just fruit, I'd think there shouldn't be any problem. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Simethicone directions say limit to 2-4 per 24 hours which is dependent on strength per dosage. Why have this limit if it is totally safe?

I take oxycodone/acetamino. 7.5/325 for pain. I also take LOMOTIL prn for diarrhea. On my routine drug test(saliva), I tested positive for MORPHINE as well as the oxycodone. I have not been on MORPHINE since Oct. of 2013 (6 months ago). Why am I testing positive for Morphine now? Is it the Lomotil? ## Hello, if the saliva test was a rapid screen test and you came up positive for anything whoever gave you the test should have sent a sample to a lab for a confirmation test using the GC/MS method of testing. If it was a rapid screening test like you can buy for home use, it is possible you got a false positive for some reason. FYI, the detection period for opiates in saliva is only 24-48 hours. I doubt if it is the Lomotil. Hope this helps. ## THIS WAS A ROUTINE LAB TEST DONE AT THE PAIN M...
