Care Loperamide 2mg Capsules 6s

Why People Use It

Dealing with sudden diarrhoea is uncomfortable and disruptive whether it hits during travel, after a meal out, or as part of a long-term gut condition. Care Loperamide 2mg Capsules are a trusted over-the-counter antidiarrhoeal treatment that helps bring quick, effective relief. People reach for this product to manage acute diarrhoea, traveller's diarrhoea, and loose stools linked to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). It works by slowing down gut movement, giving the intestines more time to absorb fluids which means fewer toilet trips and firmer stools. It's also used by people with an ileostomy to help reduce output and regain daily comfort.

How to Use

Adults and children aged 12 and over should take 2 capsules (4mg) after the first loose bowel movement, then 1 capsule (2mg) after each loose stool that follows. Do not exceed 8 capsules (16mg) in any 24-hour period. Take the capsules whole with a full glass of water do not crush or chew them. Stay well-hydrated throughout, as diarrhoea causes fluid loss that can lead to dehydration. Most people notice improvement within 48 hours. Not suitable for children under 12 without medical advice.

Things to Keep in Mind

Always read the label before use. If diarrhoea continues beyond 48 hours or gets worse, stop taking the capsules and speak to a pharmacist or GP. Do not use alongside tonic water, as this combination can affect heart rhythm. Let your doctor know about any prescription medicines you currently take, as interactions are possible.

Warnings

Not recommended for children under 12. Avoid use during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by a healthcare professional. Do not use if you have bloody stools, a high temperature, or suspect a serious gut infection. Taking more than the recommended dose can cause serious heart problems always follow dosage guidance carefully.
