If travelling to the Philippines, what anti-diarrheal product is best? ?
When traveling to the Philippines, what is the most effective anti-diarrheal product to take? I typically use Pepto-Bismol when visiting other countries, but I’m concerned it may not be sufficient if I experience diarrhea. Can anyone recommend a more effective option or additional products I should consider?

I always carry Lomotil or Immodium tabs. They’re over the counter products, no need for a prescription.
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.
have your stool examined then the treat of choice follows:-) in the meantime replace 100cc/lbm sterile water volume per volume.
I don’t understand why you would get diarrhea, and why if you did the medication would be different than elsewhere.
