Description and Uses
Loperamide is presently used more often as an antidiarrheal drug than as an analgesic, and it is also included in the list of over-the-counter drugs because of its insignificant action on the CNS. It reduces intestinal smooth muscle tone and motility as a result of binding to intestinal opiate receptors. It is used for symptomatic treatment of severe and chronic diarrhea of various origins. The most popular synonym for loperamide is imodium.
