DIARRHEA-RELIEF

1. Description

• Drug Class: Antidiarrheal / Synthetic Opioid Receptor Agonist.
  
  
• Mechanism of Action:
  
  
  • Loperamide Hydrochloride (2 mg): Binds to mu-opioid receptors in the gastrointestinal wall, slowing down intestinal motility (peristalsis). This increases the transit time of food through the digestive tract, allowing more water and electrolytes to be absorbed into the body and resulting in firmer, less frequent stools.
    
    

2. Uses

• Acute Diarrhea: Control and symptomatic relief of sudden, short-term non-specific diarrhea.
  
  
• Traveler’s Diarrhea: Relief of sudden loose stools associated with travel.
  
  
• Chronic Diarrhea: Management of persistent diarrhea associated with conditions like Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), under medical supervision.
  
  
• Ileostomy Output Reduction: Reducing the volume and frequency of discharge for patients with an ileostomy.
  
  

3. Directions for Use

• Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
  
  
• Adult Dosage:
  
  
  • Initial Dose: Take 2 tablets (4 mg) at the onset of acute diarrhea.
    
    
  • Maintenance Dose: Take 1 tablet (2 mg) after each subsequent loose bowel movement.
    
    
• Maximum Daily Limit: Do not exceed 8 tablets (16 mg) in a 24-hour period.
  
  
• Duration: Stop using the medication as soon as stools become well-formed or if no bowel movement occurs for 24 hours. Do not use for more than 48 hours without consulting a physician.
