| | Important Points For the Ostomy Patient By Danny Babin of CVS Pharmacy Be careful to check all oral dosage preparations for sustained release or enteric coating. Liquid or chewable preparations are absorbed better than tablets. If you question the absorption of a drug the patient is taking or whenever a new medication is started, ask if he finds the whole tablet or a partially dissolved tablet in his appliance.
Monitor for drugs that may increase gastrointestinal motility and cause diarrhea. All oral antibiotics may alter the normal gastrointestinal flora and cause diarrhea. lleostomy patients should never take a laxative, enema, or have a rectal temperature taken.
