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 not itself a disease, but rather is a manifestation of some other problem and may have many causes. Diarrhea can be very dangerous in infants, children and the elderly, where dehydration can occur rapidly. Causes of diarrhea include food poisoning, reaction to medications or chemotherapy, and diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome, lactose intolerance and Crohn's disease.
