1 VICODIN, VICODIN ES, and VICODIN HP should not be used if you have breathing problems or a blocked bowel. 2  These drugs can cause breathing problems at high doses or in sensitive patients.
But recently same thing happen to me. I had also non stop liquid diarrhea. I did some research. Diarrhea is essentially caused by an imbalance or failure in the movement of the bowels, the secretion of feces or the absorption of water. So, these clever little anti-diarrhea pills work on all three degrees of this problem.
Diarrhea is more frequent and more liquid bowel movements than normal. There are many causes. Diarrhea often is caused by an infection with bacteria, viruses or a parasite. Bacteria cause diarrhea either by invading the intestine or by producing a toxin that makes the intestine secrete more water. When the diarrhea is caused by food contaminated with bacteria or parasites, people often refer to this as food poisoning. Other causes of diarrhea include: Irritable bowel syndrome, especially during times of increased stress. Side effects from medications, such as antibiotics and magnesium-containing antacids.
