Diarrhoea Medication

I was given Trimephoprim to be taken twice daily for 3 days for a severe uti,however I have developed the most dreadful water like diarrhoea , is this coincidence or is it like the medication that has caused this? ## Hello, Michelle! How are you? Diarrhea can be a normal side effect of most antibiotics, as listed by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache and non-allergic skin rash. The best thing to do is to make sure you take in enough liquids to avoid dehydration and it should pass, once your finish your course of treatment. Is there anything else I can help with?

The Dr prescribed my mom codorol to treat her diarrhoea....is this right? As far as I know it could cause constipation and nausea....but in general it treats pain. ## Hello, Des! How is your mom? This medication is listed as containing Paracetamol and Codeine, so the FDA classifies it as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause other side effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth, in addition to those you've already mentioned. If the doctor felt this would be the best thing to help, then she should try it. What has caused her diarrhea?

Have just had colonoscopy and endoscopy for severe disorders. No results yet from biopsies taken. Calvepen666 is causing diarrhoea and pain. At a loss as to why prescribed. Are there not more appropriate antibiotics for sensitive stomachs.? ## Hello, Vera! How are you? Unfortunately no, diarrhea and stomach pain can be side effects of all antibiotics, as reported by the U.S. FDA. You may also experience dizziness and headache. All medications carry the risk of causing side effects, it is just the nature of adding a chemical to the body to correct or prevent a possible problem. Is there anything else I can help with?

I already have diarrhea dur to previous c diificile infection . My doctor has prescribed microbid which I not very keen o take. Since I feel it will worsen my situation. What should I do? ## Hello, Jam! How are you? Diarrhea can be a side effect of antibiotics, along with nausea, dizziness, headache and non-allergic skin rash, as listed by the FDA. However, C. Difficile can be deadly, if you let it continue untreated. Your doctor would not have prescribed it, if they though there was a dangerous risk to you. How long will you be taking it?

I have taken this tablet for past three months . My problem was under control by then. So I stopped eating the tablet..I already have hydroid cyst in the right lobe of the liver.I have consulted the gastroentology. The treatment for dis cyst given by the doctor was albendazole tablet for three months. Now there is no problem of the cyst. I have a doubt whether there is a connection between diarrhoea and the cyst. Again i have the diarrhoea problem. Mucus is also released now. What do I do now? Is there a permanent solution for my problem?

What Is The Side Effects Of This Medication & Can I Take In Place Of Casodex ## Hello Dave Hughes, Some side effects of Casodex may include but are not limited to the following: reproductive system and breast disorders, breast tenderness, gynaecomastia, hot flushes, gastrointestinal disorders, diarrhoea, nausea, hepatic changes (elevated levels of transaminases, jaundice), asthenia and pruritus. To answer your next question; if you're talking about Bicalutamide, the active ingredient in Casodex, then yes you could take it instead if you want. However, it would most likely be the generic version. I can't remember if I told you this in my last reply, but the FDA permits generic formulas to contain up to 20% more or less of the actual active ingredients. This factor, along with...

Just wondered if Zomorth is stronger than Sevredol as just started to take Zomorph and now experiencing diarrhoea which I never had with Sevredol ## Hello, Chris! How are you? Both of these medications contain Morphine, they are just different name brands for it. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. They also carry the risk of being habit forming. Diarrhea is very unusual. Are you on any other medications? Has anything else changed recently, such as your diet or exercise regimen?

Could I give my child Scopex 10mg (1 tablet) for cramps? She is 3 years old. ## You should definitely run this by their pediatrician, but likely not. The active ingredient in this medication is Hyoscine, also known as Scopolamine. I was reading a leaflet on Scopex and it states "Due to the risk of provoking hyperpyrexia it should not be given to patients, especially children where the ambient temperature is high." It also says "Use with caution in children, geriatric patients, patients with diarrhoea, fever, and in conditions characterised by tachycardia". Source ## Hello, Lee! How is your daughter? Please do not give her any medication without her doctor's approval. It is very, very easy to overdose a child to the point of fatal toxicity. Additionally, there are man...
