Benefits of Loperamide Capsule
- In Digestive problems
- Loperamide relieves the digestive symptom it was prescribed for, whether that is loose motions, cramps, bloating or an unsettled stomach.
- In Loose motions
- Loperamide slows the gut or restores its balance, so stools become formed again and the urgency and cramping settle.

- Loperamide coats and protects the stomach lining from acid and irritant medicines, easing pain and allowing the lining to heal.
How Loperamide Capsule works

How to take Loperamide Capsule
Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush or break it unless your doctor has told you to. Take it with or after food. Taking it at about the same time each day helps you remember. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Warnings and precautions
Loose motions with high fever, blood in the stool or severe abdominal pain need a doctor, not a home remedy. Oral rehydration salts and fluids matter more than any medicine when you have loose motions — dehydration is the real danger, especially in children and older people. Take a probiotic a couple of hours apart from an antibiotic so the antibiotic does not simply kill it. Do not use an anti-motility medicine such as loperamide if you have a fever or blood in the stool.
Do not take Loperamide if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Probiotics are used with caution in people whose immune system is significantly suppressed.
Interactions with other medicines
Antibiotics reduce the effect of probiotics taken at the same time.
How to store Loperamide Capsule
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. Some probiotic preparations ask to be refrigerated — follow the pack. Keep out of the reach of children.
Quick tips for Loperamide Capsule
- Keep up fluids and oral rehydration salts.
