Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Of course it helps but the side effect profile of this drug makes us insist on using it only in conjunction with diarrhea-inducing chemotherapy drugs. If you are having prolonged diarrhea that is persisting despite nutritional measures, you better investigate and treat the underlying cause and not suppress it with medications. I advise you to consult your family physician.
