What Causes Diarrhea While On Duspatalin?
Question: I have been taking duspatalin retard for two weeks. But lately diarrhea on and off, but now constantly and very strong. Could the drug be responsible ?
I made a mistake in email address : correct is YYYY@YYYY
I also have oesophical problems (too little dilation) , including pain on swallowing.
This seems to be usually at the same times (1 to 3 days) as the intestinal problem mentioned above.

Brief Answer:
No, drug could not be.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. No, duspatalin retard does not cause diarrhea. It helps in relaxing the muscles in the gut and reduces pain and motility. It usually could cause constipation.
2. Pain during swallowing is due to esophageal constriction. Is there any stricture or was any endoscopy done? I would require more details.
3. Regarding diarrhea - How was it with irritable bowel syndrome?
- Has diarrhea frequency reduced after starting duspatalin retard?
- Cant rule out any medication interactions? doubtful, but still would require evaluation.
- Any change in diet? since two weeks.
- Require further details, reports for further opinion.
Take plenty of water along with oral re-hydration salt. Stay well hydrated.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
