Scientific Evidence:

Loperamide, the active ingredient in Loperamid Lekhim tablets, is a synthetic opioid that acts on the mu-opioid receptors in the gut, slowing down intestinal motility and reducing the frequency of bowel movements. This mechanism helps to decrease diarrhea and improve stool consistency.

Studies have shown that loperamide is effective in reducing the number of bowel movements and relieving symptoms of diarrhea. Research published in the Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology demonstrated the efficacy of loperamide in the symptomatic treatment of acute diarrhea.

Additional Information:

It is important to stay hydrated while taking Loperamid Lekhim tablets to prevent dehydration, especially in cases of acute diarrhea. If symptoms persist for more than 48 hours, consult a healthcare provider. Avoid use in children under 6 years of age without medical supervision.

Before using this medication, inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions or medications you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions. Store the tablets at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
