"Diarrhoea occurs when the lining of the large intestine becomes inflamed, preventing the absorption of fluid from food in the intestine. This causes loose or watery stools and is often accompanied by abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Many treatments for acute diarrhoea are available to buy from pharmacies. Medicines to stop diarrhoea (antimotility medicines) Antidiarrhoeal medicines such as loperamide and morphine salts work by slowing down the passage of food through the intestines, allowing time for more water to be absorbed from the intestines. They can control acute diarrhoea, but shouldn&amp;#039;t be used if you have yellow/green mucus or blood in your stools, if you also have a high temperature (fever) or if your diarrhoea started during or after a course of antibiotics. All these situations require investigation by a doctor.

Racecadotril is a new prescription-only medicine that reduces the secretion of fluids into the intestines and helps make stools less watery.  Rifaximin is an antibiotic that is not absorbed from the gut. It is a prescription-only medicine licensed for the treatment of travellers&amp;#039; diarrhoea that is not complicated by fever and blood in the stools. Specific types of diarrhoea may be treated differently. For example, diarrhoea caused by Clostridium difficile infection may be treated with the antibiotic fidaxomicin, while colestyramine relieves diarrhoea associated with certain conditions or surgery affecting the small intestine.
