Acute diarrhea is a common problem and generally lasts for one or two days, whereas chronic diarrhea lasts four weeks.

This allows more time for reabsorption of fluids and nutrients, making the stools more solid and less frequent. It should not be used in patients with dysentery (diarrhea with blood).
