you can get a prescription pill from the doc called "arestal". it's a maximum 3 times a day pill, it works well. If you like pepto, there is a bismuth pill here called Heliobac. You might have to order it at the pharmacy (I ordered a bottle, it came the next day)
The only Loperamide available here OTC is very low strength (0.25mg) while immodium caplets are 2mg caplets. You can get 2mg caplets prescription. |

| The Korean for diarrhea is 설사 pronounced seolsa. If you go into any Korean pharmacy and say this, they will hand you a box of pills. They work well enough if you are in a pinch. |
