From the official label · 2024-11-11 · DailyMed
How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Loperamide Hydrochloride). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
In vitro and animal studies show that loperamide hydrochloride acts by slowing intestinal motility and by affecting water and electrolyte movement through the bowel.
Loperamide binds to the opiate receptor in the gut wall.
In vitro loperamide is metabolized mainly by cytochrome P450 (CYP450) isozymes, CYP2C8 and CYP3A4, to form- N-demethyl loperamide.
Quoted from the prescribing label, sections “Mechanism of Action” and “Pharmacokinetics”. DailyMed · 2024-04-03
Do not take it if
if you have bloody or black stool
