While the drug has given me great relief with diarrhea and IBS, I have experienced very dry mouth to the point of losing my voice and periods of dizziness and dry eyes. I would like to find a way to combat these side effects.

What a great cheap effective drug. It not only works to keep an attack of IBS from happening but is very effective during an attack as well. One extra little pill an a heating pad brings relief and relaxes the ole gut. Causes me to be alittle tired and a dry mouth but very very worth it.

The disentegrating tablets work good. They do cause some side effects, such as making me a little tired and sometimes flush and lightheaded. Overall, they work well for constipation predominant IBS and they are cheap as well being offered as a generic.

This is the only medication that has worked for my irritable bowel syndrome (tendency towards diarrhea). It has controlled my symptoms for over ten years now.

I used to treat colic for my 2 month old. I am not really sure how much it has helped.
