A member asked:

Are there any other medications to treat chronic diarrhea like motofen (difenoxin and atropine)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not heard of this...: Motofrin is not a product with which i'm familiar. Yes there are agents for chronic diarrhea. But the cause of the chronic diarrhea must be determined first, in order to avoid harm.
