I'm really worried about my friend. They're dealing with a lot of vomiting and loose motion. They've been given some medicine but it doesnt seem to be helping much. Is there any more effective medicine that you would suggest?

It sounds like your friend is dealing with a severe stomach issue. If the prescribed medicines aren't working, it's important for them to revisit their doctor, as it could be a sign of an underlying infection or condition that requires a different approach. In some cases, probiotics or a more specific treatment might be needed.
