Re: controlling Tykerb
Yes it is an antidiarrheal. Here in US it is by prescription only. I found that taking one Lomotil along with 2 Immodium at the very first sign of any problem worked. The suggested dose of Immodium is two after the first stool and one after each succeeding one up to (I think) 4 or 6 a day. I hope this helps your wife.
