Loperamide Hydrochloride Capsules

The chemical structure of this product is similar to that of haloperidol and pethidine, but the therapeutic dose has no effect on the central nervous system. The effect on intestinal smooth muscle is similar to that of opioids. It can inhibit the contraction of intestinal smooth muscle and reduce intestinal peristalsis. It can also reduce the release of acetylcholine from intestinal nerve endings, and directly inhibit peristaltic reflexes through local interactions between cholinergic and non-cholinergic neurons. This product can prolong the residence time of food in the small intestine, promote the absorption of water, electrolytes and glucose, and inhibit intestinal over-secretion caused by prostaglandins, cholera toxin and other enterotoxins. In addition, this product can also increase the tension of the anal sphincter and inhibit fecal incontinence or urgency. LD50105mg/kg (oral for mice), 185mg (oral for rats).
