Benefits

In Digestive problems: Octride Depot relieves the digestive symptom it was prescribed for, whether that is loose motions, cramps, bloating or an unsettled stomach.
In Loose motions: Octride Depot slows the gut or restores its balance, so stools become formed again and the urgency and cramping settle.
In Restoring gut bacteria: Octride Depot replaces the helpful bacteria the gut loses during diarrhoea or a course of antibiotics, helping digestion settle sooner.
In Stomach protection: Octride Depot coats and protects the stomach lining from acid and irritant medicines, easing pain and allowing the lining to heal.

Warnings & precautions

Loose motions with high fever, blood in the stool or severe abdominal pain need a doctor, not a home remedy. Oral rehydration salts and fluids matter more than any medicine when you have loose motions — dehydration is the real danger, especially in children and older people. Take a probiotic a couple of hours apart from an antibiotic so the antibiotic does not simply kill it. Do not use an anti-motility medicine such as loperamide if you have a fever or blood in the stool.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine may cause bloating and loose motions. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Quick tips

Keep up fluids and oral rehydration salts.
Return to a normal diet as soon as you can manage it.
