Drugs that may lead to diarrhoea - Naveed Yaseen - 05-25-2009 07:46 AM
Certain medications are more likely than others to aggravate the digestive tract and result in loose stools, the US National Library of Medicine says.
The agency says they include:
Today’s Health Tip
* Antibiotics, which often cause diarrhoea because they kill bacteria — even the good bacteria — found in the intestines.
* Chemotherapy drugs, used to treat cancer.
* Immune system-suppressing drugs, such as mycophenolate.
* Some herbal teas that contain senna or other substances that are natural laxatives. A laxative is meant to relieve constipation. But taking too much of a laxative can lead to problem diarrhoea.
