What Is The Treatment For Gastrointestinal Ailments?

I have been suffering from gastrointestinal ailments which the doctor has diagnosed as IBS. I was prescribed colospa by my doctor and after taking this medicine for around two weeks, severe rash on skin appeared. The skin specialist advised that the rashes are due to side effects of colospa. After consulting doctor, new medicine cintapro od along with pan 40 have been prescribed. Should I take cintapro od as I found that in rare cases this also can result in itching & rash on skin.

Hi thanks for contacting healthcare magic.

The previous drug you were using was antispasmodic drug useful in irritable bowel disease.

The second drug you started us prokinetic antiulcerative medication.

You can continue with second medication.
If rash develop then consultation to doctor done .but its incidence is not as high as that of previous drug.

Meanwhile avoid stress.

Avoid smoking and alcohol.

Green leafy vegetables taken more.

If you have constipation fiber containing diet taken more.

Let me know you some more specific drug for irritable bowel syndrome is alosetrone and lubiprostone.

Wish you good health.

Take care.
