A member asked:
Do suppositories for hemorrhoids cause loose stools and leakage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not generally : There can always be individualized side effects from medications, but loose stools and leakage are not a problem generally seen as a side effect from suppositories for hemorrhoids. However, you should stop using this medication & tell your doctor right away if you experience the rare side effects of fast &/or irregular heartbeat, a pounding headache, nervousness, shakiness, or trouble sleeping.
