Any doctors or nurses out there? I need help.
My son takes 9 pills a day of Pentasa, 250 Mg's each. I'd like to know if this regimen had something to do with the sudden case of clostridium difficile he was recently hospitalized for - or if it is more likely he acquired it some other way. Could the flu that his sister and I had last week triggered it?

2. Wow! I think you need to ask your MD
about this stuff. We don't do medical advice. We're not qualified.

3. We aren't allowed to interpret, advise, or diagnose on DU.
Call your pharmacist, better yet, the pediatrician, and see if there might be a correlation.

Good luck.

4. Locked
Please do not solicit medical advice at DU. You never know who is giving you information or what their credentials might be.


For example, this guy.

Thanks
