What is Aurovitas Loperamide 2 mg, 20 Capsules?

Aurovitas Loperamide 2 mg is an over-the-counter medicine indicated for the symptomatic treatment of occasional acute diarrhoea. It contains 2 mg of loperamide, an active ingredient that helps to reduce bowel movements, increasing the consistency of stools and reducing the frequency of bowel movements.

This medicine comes in a pack of 20 loperamide capsules, making it a practical option for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and over who need relief from occasional bouts of diarrhoea.

Loperamide acts solely on the symptoms; it is therefore important to identify the cause of the diarrhoea if it persists or is accompanied by other serious symptoms.

What is Loperamide Aurovitas used for?

Loperamide 2 mg is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of acute non-specific diarrhoea in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and over.

By reducing intestinal motility, it helps to reduce the number of bowel movements and promotes the formation of more solid stools, providing greater comfort during episodes of occasional diarrhoea.

What are the benefits of Loperamide Aurovitas?

It helps to reduce the frequency of bowel movements

Loperamide hydrochloride acts directly on the gut, helping to reduce the number of bowel movements during episodes of diarrhoea.

Promotes firmer stools

Loperamide helps to reduce excessive fluid loss through the stools, helping to restore a more normal consistency.

Symptomatic relief from occasional diarrhoea

It is indicated for acute episodes of non-specific diarrhoea, providing rapid symptom relief when used correctly.

Convenient capsule format

The pack containing 20 loperamide capsules ensures the medicine is available whenever needed for occasional episodes.

How should Aurovitas Loperamide 2 mg be taken?

The capsules should be swallowed whole with a glass of water.

Adults

  • Initial dose: 2 capsules (4 mg).
  • Thereafter, take 1 capsule (2 mg) after each episode of diarrhoea.
  • Do not exceed 8 capsules (16 mg) per day.

Adolescents aged 12 years and over

  • Initial dose: 1 capsule (2 mg).
  • Thereafter, take 1 capsule after each episode of diarrhoea.
  • The maximum daily dose will depend on body weight.

If diarrhoea persists after 48 hours of treatment, stop taking the medicine and consult a doctor.

Who is it suitable for?

Aurovitas Loperamide 2 mg is indicated for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and over who have occasional acute diarrhoea.

It must not be used in children under 12 years of age or in situations where diarrhoea is associated with certain intestinal infections or other conditions requiring medical assessment.

Contraindications and precautions

Do not use this medicine in the following situations:

  • Children under 12 years of age.
  • Allergy to loperamide or any of the medicine’s ingredients.
  • Acute dysentery with blood in the stools and a high fever.
  • Acute ulcerative colitis.
  • Antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis.
  • Diarrhoea caused by Salmonella, Shigella or Campylobacter infections.

During episodes of diarrhoea, it is essential to increase your intake of fluids and electrolytes to prevent dehydration.

Consult a doctor before using this medicine if you have liver disease, AIDS or are taking narcotic painkillers.

Possible side effects

As with other medicines, loperamide may cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them.

The most common include headache, dizziness, nausea, constipation and flatulence. Less commonly, drowsiness, abdominal pain, vomiting, dry mouth or indigestion may occur.

Severe allergic reactions, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or widespread skin rashes require immediate medical attention.

Composition

Each capsule contains 2 mg of loperamide hydrochloride. The other ingredients include lactose monohydrate, maize starch, talc and magnesium stearate. The capsule contains gelatine and titanium dioxide (E171).

Pharmacist’s advice

Loperamide only helps to control the symptoms of diarrhoea; it does not treat the underlying cause. If symptoms persist or recur frequently, consult a healthcare professional.

Stop treatment immediately if you experience severe constipation, abdominal distension or a lack of bowel movements.
