I'm having kind of loos motion from last 5 days(not complete waterly, I have to go for 3 to 4 times a day. minor abdomenal pain rarely)...I was having 1/2 NorflexTz twice a day but of no use. Now I'm prescribed with Imosec(1/2 twice a day for 2 days) with other tablets as ornof(1 tb twice a day for 5 days), drofem(1 tb twice a day for 3 days), mebex (1 tb twice a day for 3 days), vibact(1 tb twice a day for 5 days) and rantac(1 tb twice a day for 5 days before meal). As i read, imosec has some side effect, please suggest if it should be taken. Also please advice if the dose is appropriate and if is a right prescription
