Brief Answer:
Take Probiotics

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
You seem to have developed antibiotic induced diarrhea. This can occur following intake of antibiotics like Azithromycin. Actually, whenever you take any antibiotics, it has potency to kill all the bacteria, so the normal inhabitant flora of your intestine also gets effected. This causes diarrhea. So, in such scenario, i advice my patients to take a good probiotic containing Lactobacillus. As far as taking Sompraze D is concerned, you can take it.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.

Brief Answer:
Take Probiotic.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, You don't need Eldopler. It's used in case of excessive uncontrolled diarrhea. You would require to take probiotic only like Bifilac, Vizylac which are available on the counter easily.
I meant to say that, normally our intestine have few bacteria's that constitute the normal flora of our intestine and they are harmless. Whenever you take any antibiotic, this normal flora also gets killed causing loose stools.
So, just take a probiotic and you will get better.
