Abstract
At present, it is often emphasized that every individual is responsible for one' s health and consequently self-treatment may be considered positive health behavior. Diarrhea and constipation represent symptoms often resulting in a visit of the patient in pharmacy.
In the presented paper the possibilities of self-treatment of these symptoms will be discussed, with the particular emphasis on maximizing the effect and minimizing risks of available OTC drugs.
