| Uses: | The uses of Diamide ( Imodium, Kaopectate 1-D, Maalox Anti-Diarrheal, Pepto Diarrhea Control, Generic Loperamide ) - Product origin: New Zealand include:
This medication is used to treat sudden diarrhea (including traveler's diarrhea). It works by slowing down the movement of the gut. This decreases the number of bowel movements and makes the stool less watery. Loperamide is also used to reduce the amount of discharge in patients who have undergone an ileostomy. It is also used to treat on-going diarrhea in people with inflammatory bowel disease.
Indications:
DIAMIDE is indicated for the symptomatic control of acute and chronic diarrhoea. In patients with an ileostomy it can be used to reduce the number and volume of stools and to harden their consistency.
Dosage and Administration:
ADULTS AND CHILDREN OVER 12 YEARS OF AGE
Acute diarrhoea: the initial dose is 2 capsules; followed by 1 capsule after every subsequent loose stool.
Chronic diarrhoea: the initial dose is 2 capsules daily; this initial dose will be adjusted until 1-2 solid stools a day are obtained, which is usually achieved with a maintenance dose of 1-6 capsules daily.
The maximum dose for acute and chronic diarrhoea is 8 capsules daily.
