Berberine Hydrochloride Tablets are used to treat diarrhea caused by bacterial infections and belong to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations. During treatment, pay attention to your diet: consume light, easily digestible foods; eat smaller, more frequent meals; avoid foods that may cause abdominal distension, such as soy products and dairy products; avoid overeating or binge eating; abstain from alcohol; and avoid raw, spicy, pungent, or excessively greasy foods. Ensure adequate rest and avoid excessive physical exertion.
