A member asked:
Can you take imodium (loperamide) and lomotil for antibiotic related diarrhea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The shape of the Lomotil (diphenoxylat and atropine) molecule is similar to opioid molecules, and thus sits on the same receptors. All opiods slow bowels, and thus treat diarrhea, no matter the cause.
