Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Initial adult dosage after an episode is 4mg. Then 2mg after each subsequent stools. But not to exceed 16mg in 24 hours time. Usual improvement for most people in 48 hours period. Some get improvement after 2 to 3 episodes stools. But not for every one. The time of onset of action of drug is within an hour.
Take enough fluids and electrolytes also. Taking tender coconut water , tea with lemon, ORS according to water loss loss, curd and rice , bananas all helps.
Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
