Min Age Limit (Advisory): 12 Years Review: emergency solution - This product claims to stop diarrhoea quickly. Due to my illness and the medication and treatments that are required I can have a problem with diarrhoea and need something which can stop it, especially when I need to travel back and forth to hospital, etc. I normally use Loperamide Hydrochloride capsules and a pain killer but the pharmacist recommended I try these to help with the excruciating pain that I normally experience. So, to answer the main questions: - did it stop the diarrhoea ... YES, eventually Something to note is the inclusion of sucrose, which could be a problem for diabetics. It took the Loperamide Hydrochloride about an hour to start slowing the diarrhoea I'll be honest I believe that the pharmacist had mistaken this version of Diocalm for the Diocalm Dual Action which has the pain killer Morphine Hydrochloride in it. As an anti-diarrhoea drug it isn't bad, but this version has no pain killing effect. So, I will be sticking to the Loperamide Hydrochloride to stop the diarrhoea and an analgesic for pain relief.
