How do you manage diarrhea?

Antimotility drugs (Mebeverine, Atropine) and opiates (loperamide) helps reduce the propulsive contractions related to diarrhea. Lastly, in traveller's diarrhea, it might be a good idea to get Ciprofloxacin or Doxycyclin as an antibiotic. Diarrhea usually runs its course out though.
