Does anyone know of any prescription antidiarrheal drugs?

Does anyone know of any prescription antidiarrheal drugs? I'm not on about Immodiom or Loperamide which contains imodium, just drugs that are only used on prescription.

Thanks!!!!


Answers:

Pretty much all anti-diarrhoeal's are available OTC. Many doctors do not recommend their use at all in routine episodes as there is some evidence that they hold infected material in the bowel longer and that the actually prolongs the duration of the illness.
