About Lopox Tablet
Lopox Tablet 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.
Lopox Tablet 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).
Take Lopox Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Lopox Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending upon your medical condition. The most common side effects of Lopox Tablet are headache, nausea, and constipation. They do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. It may also cause dizziness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you.
Diarrhea can cause water loss and electrolyte imbalance, so drink plenty of fluids to help keep yourself hydrated. It is important to avoid this medicine if you have blood in your stool or if you are severely constipated. Let your doctor know about all other medications you are taking as some may affect or be affected by this medicine. And also, avoid drinking alcohol while taking Lopox Tablet as it can worsen your sleepiness.
