Unexpected diarrhoea can completely disrupt your day and make you feel insecure, whether you are on the road or trying to maintain your routine at home. The rapid loss of fluid and constant urge cause physical restlessness and discomfort. Sandoz Loperamide supports your body by normalising bowel movements, which allows the stool to thicken faster and helps you regain control of your day.

• Stops diarrhoea effectively, often within just a few hours of intake.
• Calms overactive bowel movements for greater comfort.
• Works locally in the intestines, exactly where the support is needed.
• Suitable for both acute and chronic diarrhoea in adults and children aged 8 years and over.

How it works

The active ingredient loperamide hydrochloride reduces the propulsive movements of the intestines. This keeps food in the intestinal tract for longer, which gives the body time to absorb more fluid and salts. This process thickens the stool and prevents further dehydration, supported by a reliable pharmaceutical formulation.
