Description

Uses of Medicine: Loperamide is a long-acting anti-diarrheal medication often used for treating common forms of diarrhea, such as traveler’s diarrhea, acute diarrhea, and diarrhea related to IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). It can also be prescribed to help reduce the output from an ileostomy. Suitable for children aged 2 and above, this oral medication works by slowing down the movement in the intestines, allowing the body to absorb more water, which helps control loose stools.

 

Dosage & Side Effects: 

The recommended dose of Loperamide for acute diarrhea, such as traveler’s diarrhea is 4 mg, followed by 2 mg after each loose stool. It’s important not to take more than 8 mg per day if using the medicine for over-the-counter use, and no more than 16 mg per day if prescribed by a healthcare provider. For chronic diarrhea, the recommended dosage is 2 mg twice daily. In cases where diarrhea is caused by chemotherapy, taking this therapeutic drug 30 minutes before meals, four times a day, can help control symptoms by slowing down bowel movements.
The most commonly reported side effects of Loperamide are abdominal cramps, dry mouth, flatulence, dizziness, nausea, ileus, urinary retention, constipation, and drowsiness.

Warning and Precautions

  • Loperamide carries potential risks, especially when not used properly. One of the most severe risks involves cardiac adverse reactions, such as QT prolongation, torsades de pointes, and in extreme cases, sudden cardiac arrest. Patients with existing heart conditions or those taking high doses are at higher risk. If any heart-related symptoms occur, seek medical attention promptly.
  • While loperamide 2 mg capsules effectively manage diarrhea, it’s important to recognize that it doesn’t address the root cause of dehydration often associated with diarrhea. Patients should ensure adequate water intake to prevent worsening dehydration while using this medication. If diarrhea persists, consult your doctor rather than increase the dose, as doing so could increase risks without addressing the underlying issue.
  • For individuals with pre-existing gastrointestinal conditions like ulcerative colitis or bacterial enterocolitis, using loperamide tablets may pose additional risks. The medication can mask symptoms of these conditions, potentially leading to delayed treatment and more severe health issues. Patients with such conditions need to consult a healthcare provider before taking loperamide.
  • Pediatric use of loperamide requires extra caution due to the potential for serious side effects like ileus and drowsiness. Children’s responses to loperamide 10 mg tablets can vary significantly from adults, making it critical to follow pediatric-specific dosage guidelines closely. Ensure that a healthcare provider monitors any child taking this medication to minimize risks.
  • In rare instances, patients may experience an allergic reaction to loperamide, such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If any of these symptoms occur, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor. Those who know they are allergic to any of the ingredients in loperamide capsules should seek alternative treatments from their healthcare provider.
  • For pregnant or breastfeeding women, the use of loperamide for diarrhea should be approached with caution. While small doses are generally considered safe, it’s important to consult your doctor to weigh the benefits against any potential risks to the baby. Always prioritize the health of both mother and child when considering the use of loperamide during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
