hi ! Adol drops contains paracetamol which is not known to cause loose motions. dose is fine too. the culprit here is either the suppository which can act as contact laxative or it may be viral diarrhoea. both conditions are self limiting though.most probably it is because of the suppository as the motions are not very loose. hope that will solve your query. take care
