Hello, my name is Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi.
I under your concern.
Diarrhea can be due to clexane. It is not a common symptom but it can happen.
I suggest you to:
-Use over-the-counter options include Imodium (loperamide)
-Take frequent, small sips of water or a rehydration drink and small bites of salty crackers.
- Begin eating mild foods the next day or sooner, depending on how you feel.
Hope it helps.
Kind regards!
