Chronic GERD, Loose Stools. Taking Antacids, Enteriquinol, Zenoflox. Risky?
I am a chronic GERD patient and have been taking antacids. I am suffering from a bout of loose motions since the past six days. Initially it subsided after i took Enteroquinol. However my local physician put me on Zenoflox but it is not coming under control. Can I switch back to Enteroquinol and if I do, how many hours of gap do I need to leave after taking Zenoflox? Are the two drugs likely to interact and cause problems?
