Description
Lopamide Tablet 10 is a medication primarily used for the symptomatic treatment of acute diarrhea. Its active ingredient is Loperamide, which belongs to a class of drugs known as antidiarrheals. Loperamide works by slowing down the movement of the gut, allowing more time for water and electrolytes to be absorbed from the stool. This results in less frequent and more formed stools. Lopamide Tablet 10 is indicated for the short-term management of diarrhea, including traveler’s diarrhea, when it is not caused by an infection that requires antibiotics. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment, especially if diarrhea is accompanied by fever, blood in the stool, or persists for more than 48 hours. The typical dosage for adults is two tablets initially, followed by one tablet after each loose stool, not exceeding eight tablets per day. For children, dosage should be determined by a physician. Common side effects may include constipation, dizziness, and abdominal discomfort. Store Lopamide Tablet 10 at room temperature, away from moisture and direct heat, and keep out of reach of children.
