A member asked:
Can you tell me if it's dangerous to have diarrhea continuously for 15+ days after stopping my meds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diarrhea.: I don't know what medicine you stopped that made you have the diarrhea, but the risk for having diarrhea for this long is the possibility of dehydration and electrolyte loss. If you are feeling really bad, go to your doctor or to the emergency room. Otherwise, see your doctor or a gastroenterologist to sort out the reason for the diarrhea.
