Loperamide Tablets 6's – Anti-Diarrheal Medication for Rapid Relief from Acute & Chronic Diarrhea
Loperamide Tablets contain Loperamide hydrochloride, a widely used anti-diarrheal medication that slows intestinal movement, reduces stool frequency, and alleviates associated cramping. It is effective for acute diarrhea, traveler's diarrhea, and chronic diarrhea associated with inflammatory bowel conditions. By acting on opioid receptors in the gut, Loperamide enhances absorption of fluids and electrolytes, providing quick relief from watery stools. This medication is suitable for adults and children over a certain age (as recommended) and can be used alongside oral rehydration therapy to prevent dehydration. Loperamide ensures comfort, reduces urgency, and allows patients to maintain daily activities while managing diarrhea.
