Administration Options: OTC anti-diarrhea medication can be taken multiple different ways. From tablets to chewables to liquid and even a food, the number of different ways you can take the medication to make you feel better faster. Taking tablets such as Gericare Anti Diarrhea tablets have been a popular option over other methods since they can be quickly be broken down by chewing. Once in the system it works quickly to resolve the problem. Drinking a liquid will work to coat the stomach lining. This "coat" helps to control the symptoms rather than accelerating them and are the easiest to take for many patients. Using caplets will slow down movements in the bowels, which will lower the amount of bathroom trips you'll be making. A newer type of treatment now involves eating a food rather than ingesting a liquid or chewing tablets.
