Uses

Diarrhea

Medicinal Benefits

Lypoper 2mg Capsule contains Loperamide, which is an anti-diarrheal medication, primarily used to treat diarrhea in Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Short Bowel Syndrome by decreasing over-active bowel, including sudden diarrhea. Loperamide is a gastro-intestinal medication that works by slowing down the contraction of the intestines thereby decreasing the speed at which the contents pass through it. This allows more time for reabsorption of fluids and nutrients, making the stools more solid and less frequent. It should not be used in patients with dysentery (diarrhea with blood).
