Eql Stomach Relief

Drug Details

This medication is designed to relieve occasional upset stomach, heartburn, nausea, and diarrhea, as well as to help prevent travelers' diarrhea. It works by slowing down the growth of bacteria that may be causing diarrhea. However, do not self-treat diarrhea if you have a fever or notice blood or mucus in your stools, as these symptoms may indicate a more serious condition. In such cases, consult your doctor promptly for a proper evaluation and treatment. Additionally, under medical supervision, this medication is used alongside other drugs to treat stomach ulcers caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori. Do not self-treat ulcers with this medication, as bismuth subsalicylate, a salicylate, can cause severe bleeding problems if used alone in patients with ulcers. Always check the product's ingredients on the label, even if you have used it before, as formulations may change, and products with similar names could serve different purposes. Using the wrong product could lead to harm.
