I have been having urine infection for 2 months now. For that i've been taking Potrate SF syrup and cranmed for 20 days nows. Do u think this could be cause for the loose motions?

Brief Answer:
Likely to be due to cranmed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for follow up query.
yes any drug intake can cause side effects like nausea vomiting diarrhea.
Cranmed can cause Diarrhea. You can take plenty of water and oral fluids.You can take ORS.I do not think you need to take antibiotics.usually it may subside on own.It also helps for UTI
You can continue treatment for UTI.If either of them(UTI or diarrhea) persists you can consult doctor.
You can get back to me for any clarifications else please close the discussion and rate.
Thank you
Dr Bharatesh
