Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your query.
It is questionable is it side effect of medicines or there is some other bowel disorder such as enterocolitis, inflamatory bowel disease or something third. In all cases you should drink plenty of fluids,eat easier food, high fiber food, fruit and vegetables. If this persists you should do stool bacterial analysis and then right treatment can be started. Wish you good health.
