Product details
Diarrhoea Relief – Loperamide Capsules contain the active ingredient, Loperamide, that works to slow the muscular contractions of the intestine, to help relieve diarrhoea.
How does Loperamide work?
Loperamide reduces the speed at which the gut contents are pushed through the intestines, allowing more time for water and electrolytes to be reabsorbed from the gut contents back into the body. It results in firmer stools that are passed less frequently.
