Composition of Loperamide Capsule

Loperamide Capsule contains Loperamide (1mg/5ml). It belongs to the Gut protective / probiotic class of medicines.

Uses of Loperamide Capsule

  • Digestive problems
  • Loose motions
  • Restoring gut bacteria
  • Stomach protection

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.
In Restoring gut bacteria
Loperamide replaces the helpful bacteria the gut loses during diarrhoea or a course of antibiotics, helping digestion settle sooner.
In Stomach protection
Loperamide coats and protects the stomach lining from acid and irritant medicines, easing pain and allowing the lining to heal.

How Loperamide Capsule works

Loperamide supports the lining and the natural bacteria of the gut, helping digestion settle back to normal.

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.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine may cause bloating and loose motions. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Loperamide Capsule

Most side effects of Loperamide are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Bloating
  • Flatulence
  • Stomach discomfort
  • Constipation

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

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.
  • Return to a normal diet as soon as you can manage it.
