Product Introduction:
Loperamide is a medication primarily used to treat diarrhea. It belongs to the class of medications known as antidiarrheals. Loperamide is available over the counter and by prescription in various forms including tablets, capsules, and liquids.
Uses:
Loperamide is commonly used to treat acute diarrhea and chronic diarrhea associated with conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It works by slowing down the movement of the intestines, which allows for more water to be absorbed from the stool, resulting in firmer stools and a decrease in frequency of bowel movements.
Benefits:

- Available over the counter, making it easily accessible for many individuals.

Safety Advice:
- Follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider or as directed on the medication label.
