My wife is 58 years old. For the last 3 weeks she is suffering from diarrhea. Our family doctor prescribed ordent (ofloxacin + ornidazole). In fact diarrhoea aggravated. We went to a gastroenterologist. He prescribed rifaclean capsules. This also aggravated her diarrhoea. Needless to say everybody prescribed lot of probiotic medications to restore intestinal flora etc. I gave her imodium which always gives some relief because even the specialist cannot give proper antibiotic. This is now becoming serious. I gave her entire quinol to start with before even going to our family doctor. This medicine always used to work fine in the past. This time it failed. So we went to our family doctor as described above. When nothing works, we tried flagyl also. Nothing is working and now the status serious. Need urgent help. The stool reports acidic stool, mucous and some macrophages. She is mild diabetic much under control with metformin.

There are no other steps to be taken in the usual setting to control diarrhoea. She may need NOrmaxintablet and ORS The capsule ENUFF is a good treatment I give and try and inform me \. Enuff 100 MG Capsule is an antidiarrheal which works by decreasing the intestinal secretion. The treatment should be continued until the frequency of stools reached to two
