I took my first dose of dexilant & amitiza this morning. They both list diarrhea as a side effect. I ve been haing diarrhea since about 3 hrs after taking them. Can I take anything for it or do I just ride it out? Does it take time to adapt to either medications?

Hello,

As of now drugs like racecadotril can be tried.
If symptoms persist better to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
