Loose Motion, Drink Good Amount Water. Side Effects Of Positrim?
Hello I am dev and I have been taking positrim from last 3 days and the first day was normal but the 2nd and the 3rd day i had loose motion.I have been taking it 2 times a days I mean i have skipped both meals and I drink good amount of water.So I want to know is this how positrim works to reduce ur weight or its the side effects?Will it harm?
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be due to: 1. Allergic reaction or side effects to any of the constituents present in Positrim- in this case, symptoms will reduce on its own on discontinuing the product.
2. Infection or inflammation in the Gastrointestinal tract.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained with: 1. Tablet Pantoprazole + Domperidone (to be taken half an hour before food) 2. Anti spasmodics like Dicyclomine preparation twice daily. 3. Maintain adequate hydration by O.R.S.
If symptoms still persist, it will be better to consult a Gastroenterologist & get a proper physical examination done to find out the exact cause. Investigations like complete blood count, stool examination & Ultrasound scan of abdomen will be helpful in detecting any pathological cause for the symptoms.
There is no need to worry, you will be fine. Wishing a good health. Take care.
