If travelling to the Philippines, what anti-diarrheal product is best? ?

Question

I usually take Pepto-Bismol when going to other countries. But it might not be enough if I have diarrhea. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Philippine drugstores sell a variety of Loperamide HCL drugs in case you ran out of Pepto-Bismol. Diatabs & Imodium are the popular anti-diarrheal OTC in the Phils. I'm not sure if Mercury Drug or Watsons (Philippines equivalent to CVS and Walgreens) carry Pepto-Bismol though.

Answer 2

I always carry Lomotil or Immodium tabs. They're over the counter products, no need for a prescription.

Answer 3

Over the counter med would be immodium ad.

They call it LBM here.  

Answer 4

Imodium or Lomotil

Answer 5

Just don't drink the water from the tap.

Answer 6

I don't understand why you would get diarrhea, and why if you did the medication would be different than elsewhere.
