Who is it for?
Travellers’ diarrhoea treatment is suitable for adults travelling to areas where food and water hygiene standards may be lower and there is an increased risk of stomach infections.
How it works:
These tablets help manage symptoms of travellers’ diarrhoea by reducing bowel movements and easing discomfort. In some cases, treatment may include antibiotics if clinically appropriate.
Dosage:
The dosage will depend on the type of medication supplied. Always follow the instructions provided by your pharmacist and complete the course if antibiotics are prescribed.
Side effects:
Possible side effects may include mild stomach cramps, nausea, or constipation. These are usually temporary.
Additional precautions:
Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. When travelling, only consume bottled or treated water, avoid ice unless made from safe water, and eat thoroughly cooked food.
