What is Loperamide Hydrochloride, and when is it used?

Loperamide is a medicine to treat Diarrhoea (runny poo). It can also help with short term diarrhoea or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Loperamide is also used for long-lasting Diarrhoea from bowel problems such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and short bowel syndrome. If you have a colostomy to give you a stoma (an opening in your stomach to collect poo from your body), Loperamide can help to slow down your bowel and make your poo thicker.

Key facts of Loperamide

• Diarrhoea which starts suddenly usually gets better on its own within 5 to 7 days. If you need immediate, short term relief, taking Loperamide can cut down the number of times you go to the toilet, and it makes your poo less watery.
• Adults should take 2 tablets or capsules straight away if they suffer from short term diarrhoea. After this take 1 each time you do a runny poo.
• Don't exceed the recommended amount. Exceeding the recommended amount can lead to serious heart problems (including a fast or irregular heartbeat).

How will it treat my symptoms?

Loperamide works by slowing down the muscle movements in your gut, so an increased amount of water is absorbed from your stools. This leads to your stools becoming firmer, and they're passed less frequently.

What causes Diarrhoea?

Diarrhoea is usually caused by a bowel infection known as gastroenteritis. Other known causes are:

• Alcohol
• Appendicitis
• Food allergy

If you are taking any other medicine currently, check the side effects to make sure that they do not cause Diarrhoea. Chronic or long-term Diarrhoea can be a symptom of a more severe condition, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

• feeling bloated and having wind
• having diarrhoea (with or without constipation)
• small, hard, pellet-like or ribbon-like stools (faeces)

Your diet and lifestyle can also help treat IBS:

If you're treating short term diarrhoea, then you shouldn't take Imodium Loperamide Capsules for over two days. If your diarrhoea lasts more than this, cease use and talk to your physician. If you're treating diarrhoea brought on by IBS, then you can take this medication for as much as two weeks at a time to deal with repeated attacks.

What causes diarrhoea?

The most frequent causes of short term diarrhoea are gut bugs and food poisoning, each of which will usually clear themselves up in seven days. But, you might even experience diarrhoea in case you've got long-term conditions such as food allergies or intolerance, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), or coeliac disease.

How can Loperamide 2mg cure my diarrhoea?

The 2mg of Loperamide in each Imodium Classic Capsule helps you to deal with diarrhoea by slowing your overactive gut. This lowers the number of times you'll have to visit the bathroom and provides your body with the opportunity to consume the water and additives which are typically lost when you have diarrhoea.

How to take Imodium Capsules

To begin your therapy, consume two Imodium Capsules with a drink of water, then take another capsule after each loose bowel movement. Don't take more than six capsules in any 24 hours. Don't forget to drink more fluids than usual to replace the fluid that your body loses when you've got diarrhoea.

How long to take Loperamide 2mg for?

If you're treating short term diarrhoea, then you shouldn't take Imodium Loperamide Capsules for over two days. If your diarrhoea lasts more than this, cease use and talk to your physician. If you're treating diarrhoea brought on by IBS, then you can take this medication for as much as two weeks at a time to deal with repeated attacks. But, you shouldn't take this product to take care of any attack that lasts more than two days. Speak with your health care provider if your diarrhoea lasts for over 48 hours or if your symptoms haven't improved after two weeks.

What is Silicol Gel

Silicolgel contains silicic acid, a compound of the mineral substance silicon and oxygen in a colloidal (highly dispersible) and hydrated form. Silicon is the second most abundant element on Earth, after oxygen. It is found in nature as silicon dioxide and in the hydrated or aqueous form as silicic acid.

Gastrointestinal disorders are usually caused by irritants and by harmful and toxic substances and pathogens. When the gastrointestinal tract is disturbed by such toxic substances and pathogens, it cannot function normally, which may lead to physical discomfort.

The advantage of Silicolgel exists in silicic acid's large and highly reactive surface. When taken internally, it forms a protective and soothing coating over the lining of the stomach and intestines.

How to take Silicol Gel

Take Silicolgel at least 1 hour before or after the intake of medicines.

Take one tablespoonful (15 ml) of Silicolgel thrice daily, preferably before meals.

Silicolgel can be taken either undiluted or diluted with water. After acute symptoms ease, treatment with Silicolgel can continue for another few days.

If the symptoms have not reduced after three days, consult a medical doctor.

With diarrhoea, it is necessary to replace lost fluids.

What does Silicol Gel contain

3.5 g Silicon Dioxide in 100 ml Silicic Acid gel.

Preservatives: Sorbic Acid (E 200), Sodium Benzoate (E 211).
