Description

Uses of Medicine:

Loperamide is an over-the-counter oral antidiarrheal agent commonly used to treat and manage various types of diarrhea, including traveler’s diarrhea, acute nonspecific diarrhea, and IBS-related chronic diarrhea. It is also prescribed for reducing ileostomy output. Safe for use in patients aged 2 and above, Loperamide works by slowing intestinal movement, allowing better water absorption. Its fast-acting formula offers relief from uncomfortable symptoms, making it a trusted choice for many.

  Dosage & Side Effects: 

The recommended dosage for acute diarrhea, such as traveler’s diarrhea is 4 mg, followed by 2 mg after each occurrence of unformed stool. It’s important to note that the total dose should not exceed 8 mg per day for over-the-counter use, while for prescription use, it should not go beyond 16 mg daily. For chronic diarrhea, the recommended dose is usually 2 mg taken twice a day. In cases of chemotherapy-induced diarrhea, administering loperamide 30 minutes before meals, four times a day, can help manage symptoms by slowing the colic reflex.

The most common side effects of Loperamide are dry mouth, flatulence, abdominal cramps, nausea, ileus, constipation, urinary retention, dizziness, and drowsiness.

Warning and Precautions

  • Loperamide may cause severe cardiac adverse reactions, including QT prolongation, torsades de pointes, and sudden cardiac arrest, especially when taken in high doses. Patients with existing heart conditions should use loperamide with caution. Always follow the recommended dosage to avoid serious cardiac risks. Seek medical attention immediately if any heart-related symptoms arise.
  • Treatment with Loperamide 10 mg tablet is often used to treat diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration if not managed properly. While it controls symptoms, it does not address the underlying cause of fluid loss. Drink plenty of water and use loperamide cautiously to avoid worsening dehydration. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist.
  • People with pre-existing gastrointestinal conditions like ulcerative colitis or bacterial enterocolitis should be cautious when using loperamide. In such cases, loperamide may mask symptoms, leading to more severe complications. Always consult a healthcare provider before use if you suffer from a gastrointestinal disorder to avoid potential risks.
  • Pediatric patients may respond differently to loperamide compared to adults. Due to the risk of serious adverse reactions, such as ileus and drowsiness, the use of loperamide in children should be monitored closely by a healthcare provider. It’s crucial to follow pediatric-specific dosage guidelines to ensure safe use.
  • Although rare, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to loperamide 2 mg capsule, such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing. Discontinue use immediately if you notice any signs of an allergic reaction. If you’re allergic to any ingredient in this therapeutic drug, consult your healthcare provider for alternative treatments.
  • The use of this drug during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be approached with caution. Although it is generally considered safe in small doses, consult your healthcare provider before using loperamide to treat diarrhea during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Potential risks to the baby must always be considered.
