Active Ingredient & Action
LOPERAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE is an antidiarrheal medication that works by inhibiting the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that stimulates the muscles in the intestines to contract and move food through the digestive system. By slowing down the movement of the gut, LOPERAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE allows the body to absorb more water and electrolytes from the intestines, thereby reducing the frequency and urgency of bowel movements.
Important Notes
Before taking LOPERAMIDE-2, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions, such as liver or kidney disease, or if you are taking other medications.
