A member asked:
I am 22 weeks pregnant and have diarrhea for 2 days now, the chemist gave me gastron tablets, is it safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Is considered ok: Gastron or Imodium (or generic loperamide) are considered safe if needed for treating diarrhea in pregnancy. If diarrhea is mild, there are simple ways to adjust drinking and eating to minimize symptoms WITHOUT needing medication. For pregnancy drug safety info, see: https://www.aafp.org/afp/2003/0615/p2517.html
