What are the Best Anti Diarrhea Medicine Brands?

What Does Anti Diarrheal Do?

Antidiarrheals reduce the frequency and urgency of passing stools. They are not for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome.

Antidiarrheal pills work in a multitude of ways which can include:

  • Decreasing the flow of fluids into the bowel, slowing down the movements within your bowel and limiting your number of bowel movements

  • Allowing fluid to be absorbed more easily into your body, which can result in less diarrhea and more properly formed stools

  • Reducing inflammation in your intestines by balancing the way fluid moves through them

  • Slowing the growth of diarrhea-inducing bacteria

How Does Anti Diarrhea Medicine Work?

Anti-diarrhea medicine helps reduce the urgency and frequency of your body’s need to pass stool. These medicines decrease the flow of fluid to the bowel, which causes its movement to slow and the number of bowel movements to diminish. This slowdown of the bowel gives the body more time to absorb fluids, resulting in bulkier stools. Bismuth subsalicylate products, including Kaopectate and Pepto-Bismol, work in a similar fashion by reducing the amount of water entering the bowel. 

What Are Side Effects Of Anti-Diarrhea Medicine?

Common side effects of taking an antidiarrheal medicine can include an upset stomach, cramps, or constipation, however there are some side effects you will want to notify your doctor of should you experience them. These side effects can include:

  • Signs of an allergic reaction (hives, itching, etc)

  • An irregular heartbeat or chest pain

  • Dizziness

  • Belly swelling or vomiting

  • Fever

Because your body is depleted of electrolytes after bouts of diarrhea, it can be helpful to supplement your diet with probiotics from CVS to give your digestive system a boost upon feeling better.

What Is the Best Medicine To Give a Child for Diarrhea?

Imodium AD Children's Liquid is suitable as an anti-diarrhea medicine for kids aged 6 and up. Frequent, mild symptoms due to a medical condition, such as IBS, may also respond well to daily probiotics or kids' digestive health supplements. See your doctor or pharmacist for additional advice.

How To Treat Dehydration From Diarrhea

No matter what kind of diarrhea treatment you use, it's important to include staying hydrated as part of your treatment plan. When you have diarrhea, you can lose more water than normal, which can put you at risk for dehydration. Make sure you drink clear liquids which can include water or broth, throughout the day to help you feel better. Ideally, you should drink around eight to 12 cups of water or other liquids per day while you're dealing with diarrhea. You can also purchase an electrolyte product to help keep your levels in check.

What To Take For Diarrhea

In most cases, you will simply need to wait for diarrhea to pass. However, there are some over the counter diarrhea remedies you can try that may ease your symptoms. One product contains an ingredient called loperamide. This ingredient can slow down the movement of food through your intestines so your body can absorb liquid more effectively. Another product such as Pepto-Bismol contains something called bismuth subsalicylate. This ingredient helps to balance the fluid in and through your digestive tract so that the diarrhea can be less intense. Always talk to your doctor or CVS pharmacist before starting any medications.

How to Prevent Diarrhea

For most people, diarrhea occurs when they eat something that their stomach may not agree with. You will likely learn which foods "trigger" diarrhea so you can avoid eating them in the future. Fried, fatty, and spicy foods can cause diarrhea in some people. If you notice that you have this problem after eating these types of foods, it's best to try and reduce them from your diet. If you do end up having diarrhea for more than two days and you feel lightheaded or notice other symptoms, talk to your doctor as soon as possible so they can determine the cause and recommend any further treatment if it's needed.

Can I Take Anti-Diarrhea Medicine While Pregnant?

Some diarrhea medicines are okay to use during pregnancy or specific trimesters of your pregnancy. Loperamide, for example, is believed to be suitable during all stages of pregnancy, but you should avoid Pepto Bismol during your second or third trimesters. Many prescription anti-diarrhea drugs, however, aren't okay to use at any point in pregnancy.

See your primary care physician first before taking any anti-diarrhea medication during pregnancy. They'll run thorough testing to ensure that your condition is unrelated to your pregnancy and recommend suitable medications and prenatal supplements.

Are Anti Diarrheal Products Available For Same Day Pickup?

Yes Anti Diarrheal Medicine is available for same day pickup at most locations, check your local stores availability and add to cart to pick up today.

Does CVS Deliver Anti Diarrheal Medicine?

Yes CVS delivers Anti Diarrheal medicine to your home. Delivery is always free over $35.

Is Anti Diarrheal Medicine Over The Counter?

Yes, Anti Diarrheal is an over the counter product and can be purchased at CVS in stores and online.

How Long Does Anti-Diarrhea Medicine Last?

The length of time anti-diarrhea medicines last depends on the medicine itself and the condition causing the diarrhea. For many people, loperamide (the active ingredient in Imodium) begins to ease diarrhea symptoms within an hour, and it can be taken in multiple doses throughout the course of the day if symptoms return. Many people get relief for up to 12 hours with just one dose. Defer to the product packaging for dosing details, or ask your health care provider for guidance. 

When to Take Anti-Diarrhea Medicine

Unless otherwise directed by your doctor, you can take anti-diarrhea medicine whenever you experience the symptoms of diarrhea. However, if your diarrhea is accompanied by other symptoms, such as severe abdominal pain, blood in the stool or fever, or you have a severe illness, seek medical attention as soon as possible. 

The cause of diarrhea isn't treated by anti-diarrhea medicine. These medicines only treat diarrhea symptoms sometimes caused by inflammation, viruses, infections, lactose intolerance or food allergies. Your health care provider may also recommend that you take anti-diarrhea medicine to help treat diarrhea resulting from conditions such as Crohn’s or celiac disease. 

Browse CVS to find the best anti-diarrhea medicines and other digestive health products. 

Diarrhea Symptom Relief: Anti-Diarrhea Medicine 

Acute and chronic diarrhea tends to occur at the most inopportune times, which makes anti-diarrhea medicine a must-have for your home medicine cabinet or first aid kit. From staple bismuth formulas, such as those by Pepto-Bismol, to anti-diarrhea pills by Imodium, CVS has a selection of some of the best anti-diarrhea medicines. 

Anti Diarrhea Pills

Dealing with diarrhea is not a pleasant experience, but it can also be dangerous especially if you don't get the proper treatment. If you experience diarrhea, it can cause a myriad of side effects including dehydration and even an irregular heartbeat. Thankfully, there are several forms of diarrhea remedies you can try to help you feel better.

Remedies for Diarrhea

Probiotics are a source of "good" bacteria that can help to balance the gut and intestinal tract, reducing the frequency and intensity of diarrhea when taken as directed. You can take probiotic nutritional supplements or eat more foods rich in probiotics such as yogurt, kimchi, or sauerkraut. Eating low-fiber foods to firm up your stool like bananas, toast, or white rice is another remedy for diarrhea. Always make sure that you stay hydrated and consume beverages that are high in electrolytes to help prevent dehydration if you're suffering from diarrhea. Avoid caffeinated drinks and alcohol if you have diarrhea, as these could irritate your digestive tract even more.
