What it is and what it is used for
Loperamide Hexal contains the active substance loperamide which belongs to the class of medicines called antidiarrheals and antipropulsives, which help reduce diarrhoea by decreasing intestinal motility.
This medicine is indicated:
- for the treatment of both occasional and persistent diarrhoea (acute and chronic diarrhoea);
- to reduce diarrhea and to increase stool consistency after intestinal surgery (ileostomy).
What you need to know before taking the medicine
Do not take Loperamide Hexal
- if you are allergic to the active substance or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
- if you are pregnant or breastfeeding;
- if you suffer from an intestinal disease, acute dysentery, characterized by the presence of blood in the stool and high fever;
- if you have inflammation of the intestine characterised by the presence of lesions (acute ulcerative colitis);
- if you have an infection of the intestine (bacterial enterocolitis caused by invasive organisms, such as Salmonella, Shigella and Campylobacter);
- if you have a severe form of diarrhoea (pseudomembranous colitis) caused by the use of medicines used to treat infections caused by bacteria (antibiotics);
- if the use of this medicine may expose you to the risk of complications, which may cause blockage of the intestine (ileus, megacolon and toxic megacolon). If during treatment you experience constipation (constipation), ileus or abdominal swelling (abdominal distension), stop treatment with this medicine immediately and contact your doctor;
- if you are using medicines that reduce bowel movements.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Loperamide Hexal.
Pay particular attention:v - if you have diarrhoea your body loses liquids and mineral salts: to restore normal levels, it may be useful to take aqueous solutions based on sugar and salts;
- treatment with Loperamide Hexal is only symptomatic and does not serve to eliminate the cause of your disorder;
- if you have reduced liver function, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Loperamide Hexal.
The use of this medicine improves the symptoms of diarrhea (symptomatic treatment), but does not cure the cause. Therefore, when it is possible to establish the cause of diarrhea, it is necessary to treat it with a specific therapy that will be indicated by the doctor.
Do not take this medicine for more than 2 days.
Stop taking this medicine immediately and contact your doctor if:
- you do not notice an improvement in your condition within 48 hours of taking Loperamide Hexal;
- has AIDS and experiences abdominal swelling during treatment with this medicine;
- if you experience constipation (constipation), ileus or abdominal swelling (abdominal distension) during treatment
If you are taking Loperamide Hexal to treat diarrhoea caused by bacteria or viruses (infectious colitis) you have a higher risk of developing other disorders associated with blockage of the intestine (toxic megacolon).
Do not take this medicine for any purpose other than that intended (see section 1) and never take more than the recommended dose (see section 3). Serious heart problems (with symptoms including a rapid or irregular heartbeat) have been reported in patients who have taken too much loperamide, the active substance in Loperamide Hexal.
Take this medicine with caution and under medical supervision if you have liver problems (impaired liver function, liver dysfunction), because toxic effects affecting the central nervous system may occur.
Contact your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 2 days of treatment or if the disorder occurs repeatedly.
