Loperamide hydrochloride

Loperamide hydrochloride is a medication used to decrease the frequency of diarrhea and sudden diarrhea including traveler's diarrhea. It is often prescribed for treating inflammatory bowel disease and short bowel syndrome but not in those with blood in the stool, mucus in the stool, or fevers. It also reduces the discharge quantity in patients who have undergone an ileostomy. It only treats the symptoms, but cannot treat the cause of diarrhea, so only a doctor normally decides on the use of this medicine. Loperamide hydrochloride is sold under the brand name Imodium & Diamond among others. Paul Janssen from Janssen Pharmaceutica in Beerse, Belgium, first synthesized Loperamide hydrochloride in 1969 and started selling Loperamide in 1973. US FDA approval gave the approval for selling it in 1976. During the 1980s, it was the best-selling prescription antidiarrheal in the USA.

How does it work? Loperamide hydrochloride slows down the movement of the gut resulting in a decrease in the number of bowel movements in addition to making the stool less watery. As an opioid-receptor agonist, its acts on the μ-opioid receptors in the myenteric plexus of the large intestine. There is decreasing the myenteric plexus activity, which in turn decreases the tone of the longitudinal and circular smooth muscles of the intestinal wall. The resulting benefit is an increase in the time material stays in the intestine, during which more water is absorbed from the fecal matter in addition to decreasing the colonic mass movements and suppressing the gastrocolic reflex.
