HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, most of the diarrhea are self limiting and does not need any medicine neither it has to be checked so better avoid to take the medicine, if the symptoms persist then underlying cause of diarrhea would be matter of concern, and that has to be treated hope this information helps.
