For adults with acute diarrhoea: take two tablets/capsules as soon as possible; then take one tablet/capsule after each time you go to the toilet with diarrhoea. Have lots of water to drink to prevent you from becoming dehydrated. Eat as normally as possible, as soon as you feel able. If your symptoms continue for more than 48 hours, speak with your doctor or pharmacist for advice if you have not already done so. Loperamide must not be taken by children under 12 years of age unless it is prescribed for them by a doctor. |

Used for | Acute diarrhoea |

Loperamide is a medicine that can help if you have acute diarrhoea. Acute diarrhoea in adults starts suddenly and in most cases eases within a few days. The main treatment is to have lots to drink to prevent dehydration. The most common cause of acute diarrhoea is an infection. Many bacteria, viruses, and other germs can cause diarrhoea. In most cases the diarrhoea settles as your body's immune system clears the infection. Antidiarrhoeal medicines like loperamide may not be necessary; however, they can be helpful if you wish to reduce the number of trips that you need to make to the toilet. Most people only need to take loperamide for a day or so.
Loperamide works by slowing down the activity of your bowel. This reduces the speed at which the contents pass through, and so food remains in your intestines for longer. This allows more water to be absorbed back into your body and results in firmer stools that are passed less often.
Because loperamide regulates the passage of food through the digestive system, it can also help people with diarrhoea associated with irritable bowel syndrome, and people who need help to regulate their bowel movement following surgery on the intestines.
You can buy loperamide from retail outlets or get it on prescription from your doctor; however, it is not suitable for children under the age of 12 years unless it has been prescribed by a doctor.
To make sure this is the right treatment for you, before you start taking loperamide it is important that you speak with your doctor or pharmacist:
Along with their useful effects, most medicines can cause unwanted side-effects although not everyone experiences them. The table below contains some of the most common ones associated with loperamide. You will find a full list in the manufacturer's information leaflet supplied with your medicine. The unwanted effects often improve as your body adjusts to the new medicine, but speak with your doctor or pharmacist if any of the following continue or become troublesome.
Common loperamide side-effects (these affect fewer than 1 in 10 people) | What can I do if I experience this? |
Constipation | Stop taking loperamide |
Wind (flatulence), feeling dizzy | This should soon pass. If it becomes troublesome, stop taking loperamide |
Headache | Drink plenty of water and ask your pharmacist to recommend a suitable painkiller. |
Feeling sick (nausea) | Try taking loperamide after eating some food if you are not already doing so |
If you experience any other symptoms which you think may be due to loperamide, speak with your doctor or pharmacist for further advice.
