• When managing acute diarrhoea with this medicine, staying hydrated is essential. Make sure you or your child drinks plenty of fluids like water, herbal teas, or rehydration solutions to restore lost electrolytes.
• During episodes of diarrhoea, choose a bland diet. Include foods like rice, toast, bananas, and applesauce, as these are gentle on the stomach and can help firm up stools.
