What injection can I take to help stop severe, sudden diarrhea that is not responding to Metrogyl injections and an IV fluid drip, especially since I have long-term diarrhea caused by nerve damage from diabetes?
Since the Metrogyl injections and IV fluids aren't providing relief, your sudden worsening might need a different approach. For chronic diarrhea caused by diabetic nerve damage, doctors sometimes prescribe an injection of a generic medication called octreotide, which helps reduce fluid secretion in the intestines. However, because your symptoms are severe and sudden, it is crucial to be evaluated immediately by your healthcare team.
