Explanation:

Chemotherapy associated acute diarrhoea may be managed by the adjustment and change of the patients diet and the administration of some standard anti-diarrheal drugs like: loperamide, octreotide and tincture of opium. More advanced and chronic diarrhea will demand active high dose anti-diarrheal administration and hospitalization.
