FORTASEC

Fortasec, a brand of medicine to combat diarrhoea

Diarrhoea is an uncomfortable condition that can occur in everyday life. To understand diarrhoea we need to understand how the digestive system works.

Digestion is the process by which the body absorbs and metabolises nutrients from ingested food and the remaining waste is expelled in the form of faeces.

When faeces are stools that are softer or more liquid than normal, it is called diarrhoea. Normally, these are usually occasional, although there are people in whom this symptom is habitual and persistent. To do this, you must find the specific cause (stress, intolerances, etc.).

Frequently asked questions

What causes diarrhoea?

There are many factors that can throw your digestive system out of balance. Usually it is a one-off occurrence, such as during travel, but sometimes it happens continuously. In this case, you should consult your doctor.

Is Fortasec dangerous?

Fortasec is a medicine containing loperamide, a drug used to treat diarrhoea. If taken in adequate doses and for a short period of time, it is safe and effective. However, abuse or misuse of loperamide, such as taking high doses, can lead to health risks, including serious heart problems. Therefore, it is important not to exceed the recommended dose.

In rare cases, Fortasec can cause serious side effects, so seek medical attention if you experience symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, fever, blood in the stool, or abdominal swelling.

Do I need a prescription to buy Fortasec?

Fortasec is a medicine, but does not require a prescription, although it is only available from pharmacies. It is usually caused by eating unusual, spicy or spicy foods in your body.

These products are perfect to carry with you discreetly.

Is it normal to have diarrhoea during menstruation?

It is a completely normal effect in women who are going through this period, at least 73% of women have this type of symptoms as there are hormones that make the smooth muscle more or less active. Although it usually disappears quickly.

Not only during menstruation, but also during the menopause hormonal changes can cause diarrhoea or other problems.

What should I do if diarrhoea continues?

See your GP, it may not be occasional diarrhoea and the problem may be caused by other reasons.

Isn't it better to let the diarrhoea run its own course?

Diarrhoea is thought to be a symptom of your body's own efforts to expel bacteria or toxins, but in certain circumstances it can lead to fluid loss. This leads to exhaustion and tiredness without allowing your system to get into a normal rhythm.
