Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
Since you have been having continuous diarrhea, without alternating
constipation, I feel that your problem is due to
collagenous colitis.
You may therefore give a trial of a COMBINATION of following drugs :-
*
Metronidazole 250mg thrice daily for 7 days
*
Pepto-Bismol tablets - 2 tablets four times daily (total of 8 tablets/day) for 08 weeks.
*
Prednisolone (5mg) 6-8 tablets/day for 2 weeks and then reduce the dose by 2 tablets every 5 days.
I am sure that you will have a complete response.
Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he agree with me, and will prescribe suitable treatment as advised.
