-
When you travel, you're at risk.
Travelers’ diarrhea, or TD, is one of the most common travel-related illnesses, ambushing millions of travelers every year. It’s most often caused by food or drink contaminated with E.coli bacteria. Depending on where you’re going, and when, there’s up to a 70% chance you could get TD.
-
Nobody goes away to sit on the toilet.
TD isn’t always serious, but it can last for up to a week, with diarrhea that may be accompanied by other unpleasant symptoms like bloating, cramping, gas, and frequent urges to go to the toilet. Symptoms that can take a serious bite out of your precious travel plans.
-
Cut TD short – not your trip.
When TD strikes, it’s a good idea to treat the cause, and not just the symptoms.

What WARNINGS and IMPORTANT INFORMATION should I know about AEMCOLO?
Stop taking AEMCOLO if diarrhea gets worse or lasts more than 48 hours and notify your healthcare provider.

When taking AEMCOLO for an infection due to bacteria, it is common to feel better before the antibiotic therapy is finished. It is important to take the antibiotic exactly as directed. Do not skip doses or end before all the medication is taken. If you do, you may lower how well the drug will work and may increase the chance of the bacteria becoming resistant.
