Poisoning: antidiarrhoeal drugs - what does this mean
Antidiarrhoeal drug poisoning occurs when an individual takes too much of a medication that is used to reduce the frequency of diarrhoea. this can lead to an overdose of the drug, which can cause serious side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness, confusion, and even coma.
What happens during the disease - poisoning: antidiarrhoeal drugs
Poisoning from antidiarrheal drugs is caused by an overdose of the active ingredients, which bind to the opioid receptors in the gut and inhibit peristalsis, resulting in reduced intestinal motility and decreased water and electrolyte absorption. this can lead to serious dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and potentially life-threatening complications.
