Generic Name: Anti-Diarrheal (loperamide)
Anti-Diarrheal Reviews
For Diarrhea, Acute "They helped me a little bit for a short time after taking 4 doses but I need to get a stool culture so I may have something other than typical diarrhea. The main reason for my review is to say that the caplets are extremely difficult to get out of the individual packing. I needed scissors to cut it open. Most caplets/pills are easy to get out by peeling away the paper on the back but that's impossible to do with this medication."
For Diarrhea "Loperamide is very helpful for diarrhea within 4 (or fewer caplets). It helps with the stomach cramping too. It was also helpful for when I had the stomach flu."
For Diarrhea, Chronic "Effective, but ANTICHOLINERGIC....linked to dementia "
For Traveler's Diarrhea "It started to work within 90 Minutes."
