A member asked:
Why can't you take lomotil (diphenoxylat and atropine) if you have antibiotic associated diarrhea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thanks for asking!: Lomotil (diphenoxylat and atropine) can make c. Difficile diarrhea much more severe, and c. Difficile diarrhea is one type of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Until you know that you don't have c. Difficile, you should avoid medications like lomotil (diphenoxylat and atropine).
