Worm medication and diahorrea

[Missmiller]

We took an Ovex tablet last night and this morning both me and my daughter have bad diahorrea. Is this likely due to the tablet or a stomach bug???

This hasn't happened to us when we've taken it.

I've heard that ovex can cause some mild stomach cramps/uncomfortableness but I've never heard of it causing actual diarreah. I've taken it 3 times before and only had cramps one of the times, never had the runs and nor has dh or ds. Possibly a bug you have. Is this your first time ever taking ovex?

It’s a stomach bug as has become obvious! X

Oh god stomach bug and worms at the same time. Your poor daughter, and the rest of you of course. I hope you feel better soon x

I was about to say that worming medication gives me horrendous, uncontrollable diarrhoea, but presumably you’re both now vomming if you think you’ve got a bug.
