Suggest Remedy For Diarrhea Post Intake Of Lovastatin

I am taking lovastatin. It seems to give me an overwhelming case of diarrhea. It s as if I am preparing for a colonoscopy. It isn t fun. I have stopped taking it. No symptoms for over a week. Is there something other than a stating I could take? Something over the counter? Colesterol is just at 200. Thank you for your help. Rebecca

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, even if this is the drug induced diarrhea still no need to worry about this, and it will be fine soon, at the most this can be managed with "Lyophilized Lactobacillus" else this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
