Stomach and bowels

Gastrointestinal problems can stem from various causes, including a poorly functioning digestive system, stress, hormonal fluctuations, food poisoning, imbalances in the gut flora, infections, and allergic reactions. These factors can trigger a range of symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, stomach ache, diarrhea, and constipation. 

Understandably, most people seek quick relief from symptoms like vomiting and nausea. While vomiting is the body's way of expelling spoiled or toxic substances, it can also happen due to surgery, pregnancy, or as a side effect of certain medications. Vomiting leads to rapid fluid loss, making it essential to replenish fluids. There are also anti-nausea medications available that can help stop or prevent the symptoms. 

Various prescription and over-the-counter medications can offer relief for an upset stomach, and having emergency supplies of stomach remedies is often convenient. Heartburn, for instance, can suddenly flare up after a meal, so it's beneficial to keep an antacid on hand.

You can purchase over-the-counter products to treat stomach and intestinal discomfort. If the symptoms persist or the usual remedies don't work, it may be necessary to try more effective treatments. At Doctoronline, we offer a range of over-the-counter solutions to help ease various stomach issues. 

For example, omeprazole is a highly effective medication for heartburn, xifaxan can be used to treat (travellers’) diarrhoea, and colofac may improve bowel function if you suffer from constipation. Prescription-only medications are often more effective than standard over-the-counter options, and there are different drugs available to address various types of stomach pain and digestive complaints. You can order treatments for heartburn, stomach pain, diarrhoea, and constipation from Doctoronline, following an online consultation for a prescription.
