Cap. Eldoper-2mg

Eldoper contains Loperamide as an active ingredient which is an anti-diarrhoea medicine. It works by slowing down the speed at which food and stomach contents pass through the bowel. This allows your body more time to take up water from your stool and so reduce diarrhoea.

Loperamide works by slowing the contractions of the intestinae and increases transit by binding to the opiate receptor in the gut wall. It also increases the tone of the anal sphincter, thereby reducing incontinence and urgency.

INGREDIENTS:

Loperamide
