Can Dexilant cause diarrhea?

Yes, Dexilant can be one of the causes of diarrhoea. Other medicines that the person is taking (e.g. metformin, if used) may also be the cause. If this is the beginning of treatment, it is worth bearing in mind that usually when diarrhea is associated with the drug, it passes after 1-2 weeks. If the treatment has been used for a long time, and diarrhea recurs and the cause is the drug - you can contact your doctor to modify the treatment. As for the agents that inhibit diarrhea, products containing loperamide (e.g. Stoperan, Laremide) work better in such situations. However, it is worth remembering that diarrhea can have many causes and if it is associated with, for example, poisoning, it is a self-limiting symptom. If the duration of diarrhea is more than 2-3 days for children and the elderly and more than 14 days for other people - we should see a doctor. With diarrhea, it is important to hydrate the body, e.g. using hydration preparations (electrolytes).
