How is diarrhea treated?

Depends: That depends on the cause. In some cases, antibiotics or anti-parasitic drugs are needed. In others, it's just a matter of keeping hydrated until it runs its course.

Diarrhea: Oral rehydration (replace lost fluids & salt), loperamide (imodium) & bismuth subsalicylate, and most important of all, discuss with your doctor to explore the causes.

Regain Control: The normal muscular activity of the intestinal tract is out of balance and needs assistance in regaining normal activity. Imodium (loperamide) is used for regaining this functional balance. See link: http://www.Imodium (loperamide).Com/.
