How to relieve gastrointestinal discomfort caused by clofazimine

Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are common side effects of clofazimine (Clofazimine), and patients often seek home relief methods. It is recommended to take medicine with meals to reduce irritation to the gastric mucosa; the diet should be light and easy to digest, such as rice porridge and noodles, and avoid greasy and high-fiber foods; drink small amounts of water frequently, 1500-2000ml per day to prevent dehydration. If diarrhea is frequent (>3 times a day), you can take montmorillonite powder orally to stop diarrhea and supplement electrolyte drinks at the same time. For example, some patients reduced their daily bowel movements from four to one by adjusting their diet, and their nausea symptoms were relieved within a week. If symptoms persist or worsen, you need to seek medical treatment promptly to rule out other causes.
