Berlin - Diarrhea can be a side effect of various drugs. Quite often it occurs after taking antibiotics. He usually remains harmless. More than two days, he should pause, however. Then a doctor visit is appropriate.
"Diarrhea as side effects of antibiotics are usually harmless and disappear within a few days by themselves they hold more than two days, a doctor should be consulted," says Thorsten Gottwald of the Federal Chamber of Pharmacists, Berlin. Antibiotics kill bacteria and thus also some of the desirable intestinal bacteria. One possible result is diarrhea because nutrients are not completely degraded by the intestinal bacteria. Anyone who has diarrhea should drink a lot and replace the salt loss.
Various non-prescription medications can cause diarrhea as a side effect. This applies, for example, medications such as proton pump inhibitors that reduce the formation of stomach acid and taken for stomach pain and heartburn are. Known side effect is also contained in drugs for too much stomach acid, the magnesium. Anyone noticed this side effect can take up magnesium-free alternatives. Diarrhea is a side effect of cancer drugs, prescription heart medications or high doses of thyroid hormones.
"Diarrhea can also sign the overdose of a laxative to be," warns Gottwald. "Then you should reduce the dose of laxative until the stools soft but not liquid." Basically, laxatives without medical advice should not be used longer than two weeks. Exceptions are source materials from flaxseed or psyllium Indian: This laxative in high doses does not lead to diarrhea and can be taken long term.
