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.
In some cases, continuous diarrhea that may occur with bowel problems can cause severe, sometimes life-threatening, dehydration. Other serious symptoms may occur. Seek immediate medical care (call 911) if you, or someone you are with, have any of these life-threatening symptoms including: 1  Fever and chills.
