Loperamide

Uses

Loperamide is used in the treatment of diarrhea. It should not be used in patients with dysentery, which is characterized by diarrhea with blood.

How it Works

How Loperamide works Loperamide is an anti-diarrheal medication. It works by slowing down the contractions of the intestines, thereby decreasing the speed at which contents pass through. This allows more time for the reabsorption of fluids and nutrients, resulting in stools that are more solid and less frequent.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Loperamide include constipation, nausea, headache, and flatulence.
