I was having watery diarrhea last week and dr prescribed me antibiotics and sporlac 20 tablet.is it ok to take sporlac tablet 3 times a day alone ?

Treatment Failure: I would be very interested to know what the doctor is treating. I know of no common reason to give someone an antibiotic for diarrhea. But in any case, it did not work. Persistent diarrhea needs to be tested for bugs, parasites, and bacteria and THE CORRECT diagnosis made before any treatment can be recommended.
