Can Imodium And Gas X Be Taken For Severe Diarrhea?
My best friend is on her last dose of Cipro and continuing with her Bactrim for a bad ITI (54 years old) she is having severe diarrhea and working a new job. I was going to run her over some items tonight to try and help her feel better. I have Imodium, gas x, plain cooked pasta, real homemade mashed potatoes, was voing to get some ginger ale, and put some essential oil of peppermint on a cottonball for her to smell (nausea And severe diarrhea). Is this all okay? Plua any other suggest?

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Imodium can be taken in severe diarrhea, but gas x may useful in bloating if stomach. Use tablet Sporulac twice a day for five days. Take tablet Ofloxacine Ornidazole twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
