This medication has allowed my wife to resume a normal life free from embarassing episodes of uncontrollable diarrhea. A survivor of stage 4 cervical cancer, the medical interventions included chemotherapy, external radiation and radioactive interstitial implants. These collectively produced multiple bowel obstructions resolved by five separate surgical interventions over two years wherein with each the obstructed segment was removed and the intestine resected. There have been no further obstructions for the last 15 years.....the good news. The bad news....chronic diarrhea. By balancing her diphenoxylate-atropine with diet, life has returned to an acceptable near normal life. Considering the stakes at the time, this outcome is something we can both live with.

Well I took my first dose this morning and ended up in the ER! It sent my intestines into spasms and was so painful I thought I was having a heart attack! All is well now and happy they gave me a med to to stop the spasms :) Other than that the med is working great!!

took this medication by mouth for 14 days after that I started to get loose stools again and I had to take it more often. More often means more than 3 times a day or more than every 8 hours a day. I sure loved this pill because it gave me more confidence to go places instead of sitting home always. I was able to get out more.
