Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do to stop diarrhoea quickly?
The right approach depends on the cause and severity of your symptoms. Staying hydrated, replacing lost fluids and electrolytes, and using suitable relief options can help manage symptoms. Our pharmacists can recommend appropriate solutions based on your situation.
Should I take medication every time I have diarrhoea?
Not every episode of diarrhoea requires medication, as the body may be trying to remove irritants or infections. The most suitable approach depends on factors such as the cause, frequency, and severity of symptoms. Our pharmacists can advise on whether medication is appropriate for your needs.
How long should diarrhoea last before I seek help?
Mild cases of diarrhoea often improve within a few days. However, you should seek medical advice if symptoms are severe, persistent, accompanied by fever or blood in stools, or if you show signs of dehydration such as severe dizziness or reduced urination.
What should I eat or drink when I have diarrhoea?
Staying hydrated is important, as diarrhoea can cause fluid and electrolyte loss. Choose easy-to-digest foods and avoid items that may further irritate your digestive system. Our pharmacists can also advise on suitable supportive options to help you recover.
Can I take diarrhoea medication if I need to go to work or travel?
Some people may need symptom relief when diarrhoea interferes with important activities such as work or travel. However, the right option depends on your symptoms and the possible cause. Our pharmacists can help recommend suitable solutions based on your situation.
Will probiotics help me recover faster?
Probiotics may help restore the natural balance of good bacteria in your gut and can shorten the duration of some types of diarrhoea, particularly diarrhoea related to antibiotics. They are not suitable for every situation, but our pharmacists can recommend a probiotic that's appropriate for your condition and advise whether it's likely to benefit you.
What else can I take besides diarrhoea medicine?
Anti-diarrhoea medicine isn't always the only answer. Depending on the cause of your symptoms, your recovery may benefit from:
- Oral rehydration solutions (ORS) to replace lost fluids and electrolytes
- Probiotics to help restore the natural balance of good bacteria in your gut
- Zinc supplements (particularly for children, when recommended by a healthcare professional)
- A temporary change in diet, such as eating bland, easy-to-digest foods while avoiding greasy, spicy, or high-fibre meals
