Sent to Health Experts February 02 10:42 PM

I have a really bad case of diarrhea. I bought some Pepto-Bismol and Gator Aide today in hopes that is would help. I read the label on the Pepto though and it said if you are having black stools, or on a blood thinner (I am on Coumadin), don't take the Pepto. I also had a virus infection on 12/12/06 and my primary doctor prescribed Compazine or Prochlorperazn - 5mgs, and I have taken two of those today. Is there anything else I can do for it? Thank you doctor! - Bob

 

Optional Information:
Male , Age: 70

Already Tried:
Pepto-Bismo, Gator Aide and some meds my doctor prescribed for a virus called Prohlorperazn 5MG
