My doctor refused to refill this Rx for diphen atropine for 6 weeks. I have been taking this med for about 6-7 years now. It is the ONLY med that lets me lead a normal life without explosive diarrhea. If I don't take it, and I have to have a bowel movement, I have about 2 minutes to find a restroom. I usually don't make it and that is a mess. No warning at all. He finally renewed my prescription but wants me to have an Upper GI. How long can you take diphen atropine? Does it CAUSE intestinal problems to make an upper GI necessary? Please help me. Thank you.

went to know for what is diphenatrop ## Diphenoxylate and Atropine is an oral antidiarrheal medication. It is commonly sold in the U.S. under the brand name Lomotil. Common side effects may include: nausea, dizziness and bloating. You can read more on it here: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## Lomotil is a med that not only works on diarrea but al stops withdrawal from opiates, this something docs need to look at! ## Thanks for the informative post, Taddeusz, I had not heard about that, before.

Though, over time, they do usually pay attention to what other conditions a medication can help with and they can prescribe it off-label according to their personal experience. How did you learn of this? ## i ...

I believe that this was in the shape of a caramel shape square chunk, that I chewed. I believe it was removed from the market but I am looking for what was in it to try to replace it as it was the only med that has ever helped with my problem. It might have been chocolate flavored but was definitely dark chocolate colored. ## Hello, Maple! How are you? This medication is still available, under the brand name Lomotil and as a generic, but it does require a prescription from your doctor and is no longer available as a chew, from what I understand. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and blurred vision. Is there anything else I can help with? ## was this medicine available at one time in little brown squares that you chewed?

My name is Bonnie. I took 3 Diphen/Atrop pills 2.5 mg and my eyes started burning and had blurred vision. I stopped taking it but my eyes did not get better. I went to an eye Dr and they did extensive testing and said my problem is puckering macula bilateral , dry eyes and presence intraocular lens, unspecified visual disturbances. I was wandering if this drug could have caused it. Because of Cipro the tendons broke in both hands and had to have them operated on. Thank You ## Hello, Bonnie! How are you?

My wife has been taking Imodium (6) but has exhausted her supply. Is it safe for her to continue her attempt to stop the direah with the Diphen Atrop 2.5mg? ## Has she consulted a doctor? Anytime that diarrhea is continuous like this, someone should seek medical attention, because it could be the sign of serious health problems. It also creates the very serious risk of dehydration. The problem with this medication is that its only meant to treat acute diarrhea, which would be that of a limited duration. If it's chronic, which means ongoing, then she needs to see a doctor for assistance and a proper diagnosis as to what's causing it.

I have been on Breo for quite some time but was given a trial of Trelegy. Used for 6 days but had thick mucus in throat during night and heavy deep cough, back on Breo for 4 days then completed Trelegy for 8 days. The following day had bowel pain and mucus (diarrhea) for 3-4 days then constant fecal diarrhea. Put on Cipro & Metronidazole then off Cipro and on Amoxicillin-clav.

At that point diagnosed with diverticulitis but no explanation how it was caused (I have had it but ALWAYS could determine what set it off). Finished all meds with no relief so put on Cholestyramine. Been on it for 8 days now and finally getting relief from constant diarrhea. This entire experience ha...
