What Causes Digestive Issues And Dark Green Stool While On Methadone?
Hi im currently on methadone and have been clean for years, but of course it does cause me to have digestive issues. I just went to the bathroom and my stool was a dark green and hard and was like lumps all strung together and the same color. I also sometimes have mucus in my stool. Im just worried I might have worms, could you please explain to me what worms would look like please ?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, such symptoms may not be due to medicines but it may be due to intestinal infection protozoa need to be ruled out, till then it can be managed with "Tab Metronidazole 400 mg" twice in day and this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
