I've just looked it up and it seems to be a weight loss medication and one of the side effects can be diarrhorea.

Don't know what your symtpoms are.

Mine is diarrhorea and I found that lactose and dairy cause my symptoms so am on a strict dairy free diet which keeps me under control.

Before trying drugs you could try food elimination and a lot of people on this site recommend the FODMAP diet which is a type of elimination

Not what you're looking for?
