Diarrhea.
What are y’alls go to for diarrhea treatment in someone with minimal clinical concern for badness?
Yes I know I know it’s not an emergency and yes I know it’s a stupid use of ER resources. But sometimes you get people who won’t leave without a door prize and it’s quicker to just give something to make they feel better until they can see a GI or sx resolve.
My running list is:
Loperamide
Dicycloverine
Hyoscyamine

Enteritis / Colitis
You guys give abx to all of your enteritis / colitis patients who have normal vitals, normalish (maybe watery diarrhea max) BM's and normal labs? I usually don't in most cases...but I've had a bunch of these exact cases over the past month and many have come back to the ED after I give them bentyl, probiotics, motrin, and maybe an anti-emetic.

Common Retail Questions
Just wondering how other pharmacists answer these common questions and if you can share yours- just trying to see if I can improve my responses.
1 How to prevent reoccuring yeast infections? Do you ever recommend probiotics? I know it's fungal but have read some articles stating probiotics have potential.
2 Difference between probiotics available? Which one to take?
3 How to help with ringing in the ear?
4 How are Zarbee products for children?
5 How to dispose of old/expired medications?...
