Diarrhoea Treatment and Medication

Q: What are diarrhoea symptoms?

Diarrhoea is defined as the passing of looser and more frequent stools than is normal for you. Other symptoms include passing watery stools, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, headache and a loss of appetite.

Q: Can I treat diarrhoea at home?

Diarrhoea can clear up with no treatment after a few days, however, taking a medication to treat diarrhoea can get you feeling better sooner. You should drink plenty of water during a bout of diarrhoea as well as use oral rehydration solutions to prevent dehydration.

Q: What are best diarrhoea medications?

Antidiarrhoeal medications can lessen the length of your infection. Loperamide is one of the most effective medications used to treat diarrhoea. This medication works to slow down the muscle movements in the gut so that more water can be absorbed into the digestive system and not passed with the stools.

Q: Why do I keep getting diarrhoea on and off?

Having repeated attacks of diarrhoea may be a sign of a larger condition such as IBS. It may also be due to an allergy or irritant that is causing the reaction. You should speak with your doctor if you keep getting diarrhoea on and off.

What causes diarrhoea?

Often the cause of diarrhoea is unknown. The most common causes are thought to be due to a bacterial infection, allergies or intolerances, radiation therapy and eating foods that upset the digestive system. Antiobiotics and other medications can also be the cause of diarrhoea.

How does medicine treat diarrhoea?

Sometimes an antibiotic is prescribed to kill the parasite or infection causing the diarrhoea, other times a specific medication is used. These medications slow down bowel movements, allowing more water to be absorbed.
