Medicine Description stoprrhea 2mg
stoprrhea 2mg tablets is a medication that primarily acts on the opioid receptors in the gut. By binding to these receptors, loperamide reduces the motility of the intestinal muscles, leading to decreased peristalsis. This action allows for increased transit time of intestinal contents, resulting in enhanced absorption of fluids and electrolytes, ultimately alleviating diarrhea. Additionally, loperamide helps in reducing the frequency of bowel movements and solidifying stool consistency.
