For me, not baby or kid. Can I take anti-diarrhea medication (Imodium or Pepto) when I have the flu? Was reading a few websites and some say I should not...others say it can help relieve stomach cramping and, well, diarrhea. It's pretty bad.
My doctor doesn't open for another three hours on Saturdays, or I'd call them.
TIA.
Re: Anti-diarrhea medication with flu?
I'm confused, do you have a GI bug, and the flu? If you have a GI bug, and no respiratory symptoms, it's not the flu. You can take something to slow it down, but my doctor said the same thing yours did, it's working it's way out for a reason. Stay hydrated.
If you have the flu and a GI bug, are you taking flu/cold/sinus mess, call to see if it interacts with Imodium. And if you do have both, that really sucks.
Don't take AD meds - let your system flush out whatever it needs to.
