About Loopra Tablet 10's

Loopra Tablet 10's contains 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. Diarrhea is a condition in which bowel movements are too frequent, leading to loose, watery stools. Acute diarrhea is a common problem and generally lasts for one or two days, whereas chronic diarrhea lasts four weeks.

Loopra Tablet 10's contains Loperamide, which is a gastrointestinal medication primarily used to treat diarrhea. It works on the opiate receptor in the gut and slows down the intestines' contraction, 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).
