Ulcerative Colitis and Lomotil Anyone?

Has anyone ever taken Lomotil to help with diarrhea???? I am currently on 4 Lialda a day, trying out Pro-Biotics and about to start the Lomotil.. I read on the lomotil side effects that it can worsen UC… Has anyone ever used it with success?

Thanks,

Nicole

So what is Lomotil? (A combination of atropine and diphenoxylate)

Atropine is a medication has is used to treat several different things: spasms in the stomach, bladder and also the intestines.
Diphenoxylate is commonly used as a medication to treat diarrhea.
The combination of these two medications atropine & diphenoxylate is Lomotil.

Here is an outside link to Lomotil here.
