Why Are Donnatal And Lomotil Prescribed?

I have been taking donnatal for over 40 years and occasionally have to take lomotal. My understanding is that these medications are for different symptions - donnatal does not help diarrhea. Can you elaborate or clarify please? I don t take both simultaneously as they help with two different issues. Thank you.
