diarrhea
The strict medical sense of diarrhea is "emission of stools too frequent and too abundant". In fact, common sense equates diarrhea with the notion of fluid and frequent stools. Normally, stools are pasty, but the emission of liquid or barely formed stools, without pain or particular associated disorder, is not pathological. Diarrhea can occur when liquid stool emissions are repeated during the day and the needs are overwhelming or painful.
Many medicines can accelerate intestinal transit and make the stools more liquid, without this undesirable effect being of real concern.
Antibiotics can alter the digestive flora, essential for digestion, and cause more or less troublesome but benign diarrhea. The effect appears immediately or after a few days of treatment. A severe and exceptional form of diarrhea, pseudomembranous colitis, can be observed after antibiotic treatment; this condition results in the emission of mucus and false membranes (resembling skin flaps) associated with abdominal pain; constipation may replace the initial diarrhea. Pseudomembranous colitis can occur several days after discontinuation of antibiotic treatment and requires urgent medical advice.
allergic reaction
Reaction due to hypersensitivity of the organism to a drug. Allergic reactions can take a wide variety of aspects: urticaria, angioedema, eczema, eruption of pimples resembling measles, etc. Anaphylactic shock is a generalized allergic reaction that causes discomfort due to a sudden drop in blood pressure.
treatment
Treatment that complements the action of a specific treatment, but generally does not achieve healing on its own.

What is a substitute flora?
The intestinal flora is made up of billions of microorganisms. Its balance is necessary to maintain certain essential functions of the digestive tract such as digestion of food, defense against infectious agents, stimulation and strengthening of immune defenses.
But this balance is fragile and can be called into question by many factors: intestinal infections by a virus or a bacterium, taking certain drugs such as antibiotics, changes in eating habits ... which can lead to various digestive disorders including diarrhea. Ultra-Yeast is a drug of the intestinal flora called "substitution flora" which compensates for a transient imbalance of the intestinal flora.
