Alevian Duo Side Effects

This medication almost killed me, it gave me diarrhea so severe I ended up in the ER. My doctor gave me antibiotics and wanted me to continue taking Alevian Duo but nothing would stop the diarrhea until I decided to stop taking those awful pills, 24 hours after that I was OK. Months after that my doctor said we should try again and in less than 8 hours after the first pill of Alevian Duo I was feeling awful cramps and had the worse diarrhea. I would never take it again! ## Hello, Tummy! How are you doing? I'm very sorry about the experience you had. Not all medications work well for everyone that tries them, so I have to agree, if it caused you that severe of a problem, you should likely stay away from it. Have you tried any alternatives? ## I am having pain in my right side for the...

When should I take Alevian Duo? Thank you, Florencia ## Hi Florencia, Based on my research, The usual dose for patients with irritable bowel syndrome and similar conditions or symptoms ie: diarrhea and/or constipation, is 1 capsule twice daily, 10 - 15 minutes before breakfast and lunch. Some severe cases that are difficult to control or may require a dose increment of 1 capsule three times a day. I also read that it is helpful to those dealing with Irritable bowel syndrome to reduce 20% of the daily fat intake, doing so should help with intestinal gas. Side effects are rare, but may include: abdominal pain, pruritus, rash, regurgitation and dysphagia. I hope this helps!! ## Just took alevian duo but still having direau .Should I take another pill? ## Hello I was wondering I have a stom...
