Posted on Wed, 26 Aug 2020

Question: Hi, I’ve had diarrhea since Sunday 8/2. It started after I took Pepcid. Never had it happen before. Only had one dose of Pepcid and it’s been happening ever since. Urgent care prescribed Zofran and Hyoscyamine on 8/4 but I’m still pooping all day and having cramps all day.

Brief Answer:
It can be gastroenteritis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I don't think this can be related to taking pepcid because you had only one dose and it can't cause diarrhea for so long.
I think it can be caused by a gastrointestinal tract infection.
I think you can use loperamid to stop diarrhea and probiotics such enterogerina to help restore the intestinal flora.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
