Loperamide

What is loperamide?
loperamide may be used to treat diarrhea or to reduce the amount of stool (poop) in people who have an ileostomy (which is when a surgeon re-routes your bowel through a small opening in your torso).

Loperamide works by acting on mu-opioid receptors in the gut to slow down the movement of the gut, which in turn, slows down contractions in the intestines. This allows more time for fluids and nutrients to be absorbed back into the body, which makes the stool less watery and decreases the number of times you go to the toilet.

Warnings
You should not use loperamide if you have ulcerative colitis, bloody or tarry stools, diarrhea with a high fever, or diarrhea caused by antibiotic medication.

 

loperamide is safe when used as directed. TAKING TOO MUCH LOPERAMIDE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS HEART PROBLEMS OR DEATH.

Serious heart problems may also happen if you take loperamide with other medicines. Ask a doctor or pharmacist about safely using medications together.

 

Do not give loperamide to a child younger than 2 years old.

 

The usual dosage of loperamide for a child varies depending on their age and weight. Always follow the directions on the label when giving loperamide to a child. A safe dose of loperamide is different for an adult than for a child.

 

Take loperamide with a full glass of water. Diarrhea can cause your body to lose fluids and electrolytes. Drink plenty of liquids to keep from getting dehydrated.

 

The loperamide chewable tablet must be chewed before swallowing.

 

Shake the oral suspension (liquid) before you measure a dose. Use the dosing syringe provided, or use a medicine dose-measuring device (not a kitchen spoon).

 

Not all liquid forms of loperamide are the same strengths. Carefully follow all dosing instructions for the medicine you are using.

Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not allow the liquid medicine to freeze.

 

Stop taking loperamide and call your doctor if you still have diarrhea after 2 days of treatment, or if you also have stomach bloating.

 

What happens if I miss a dose?

 

Most people just take loperamide on an "as needed" basis and do not have a daily dosing schedule. If you miss a dose, you don't need to do anything.

 

If you are taking loperamide to reduce your frequency of bowel motions after an ileostomy, you may have a dosing schedule. Take the missed dose as soon as you remember but if it is almost time for the next dose, just skip that dose. Do not take two doses at once.

What happens if I overdose?

 

Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. An overdose of loperamide can be fatal.

Overdose symptoms may include fast or irregular heartbeats, or fainting. A person caring for you should seek emergency medical attention if you pass out and are hard to wake up.

 

Never exceed the recommended dose for loperamide. The maximum dosage of loperamide in adults and children over the age of 13 years is 16mg (eight capsules) per day (24 hours).

 

What should I avoid while taking loperamide?

 

Avoid drinking tonic water. It can interact with loperamide and may cause serious heart problems.

 

Avoid becoming dehydrated by drinking plenty of fluids. Avoid vigorous exercise or exposure to hot weather if you are dehydrated.

 

Avoid driving or hazardous activity until you know how loperamide will affect you. Your reactions could be impaired.
