Namaste! Here's some information about the medications you mentioned and advice for your current situation.
Eldoper (Loperamide 2mg) is used to reduce diarrhea by slowing down bowel movements, helping to control frequent loose stools.
Norflox 400 (Norfloxacin 400mg) is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, including some types of gastrointestinal infections.
Taking Loperamide and Norfloxacin together is generally considered safe when prescribed by a doctor, as they work differently: one controls diarrhea symptoms, and the other treats infection.
However, since you have had 11 motions since 11:00 AM, this is a significant amount of diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration and may indicate a serious infection.
It is important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids with electrolytes.
If you experience symptoms like fever, blood in stools, severe abdominal pain, or worsening condition, seek medical attention immediately.
Avoid self-medicating further without consulting a doctor, as some causes of diarrhea require specific treatments.
If symptoms persist beyond 24-48 hours or worsen, please consult a doctor promptly for proper evaluation and management.
For urgent concerns, you may contact emergency services. Please see a gastroenterologist or your primary care doctor for a thorough assessment.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please share your age and gender.
