For IBS, taking all of these at once is typically not necessary; in particular, Defstar (a steroid) and Rcifax should only be used when specifically prescribed for a brief period of time. Do not take any long-term medications; instead, consult your gastroenterologist to simplify and discontinue needless medications.
