What Is The Suggested Medication For Loose Motion?
I am writing from India ... Actually, I would be going on a road trip tomorrow with my family ... I have the tendency of IBS owing to which I am unable to enjoy road trips often. Can I take "Loperamide" or any medicine for loose motions before starting on road trip to avoid discomfort for a couple of days?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would strongly suggest not taking the Loperamide because it is a banned medicine and could cause the serious side effects. Moreover, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) is the functional kind of disease, just try to come out of the stress then everything would be fine and enjoy the trip no need to worry about this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
