I am a endometrial cancer patient. 2 1/2 years cancer free. I have been in the hospital 4 times since 11/2006 with a bowel obstruction. I take this medication for diarrher. I have had diarrhea for 4 days out of the pass 7 days. it is very watery, I am taking sips of gatorade through out the day, most days I am eating food. It is really depressing me to continue to have diarrhea like this. I don't take the medication when I have diarrhea. Should I continue taking the medication while I am having diarrhea. I was taking the medication once a day, now I am taking it twice a day per my doctor. Read More Read Less

Is there any restrictions on when I can take this with other meds? Is there a time limitation I need to know about when I should wait to take my other meds?
