Loperamide hydrochloride is a potent and selective agonist of the μ-opioid receptor in the intestines, which decreases motility and increases the absorption of fluids and electrolytes in the body, producing a constipating effect. It is commonly used in the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea, including travelers' diarrhea and diarrhea associated with inflammatory bowel disease or irritable bowel syndrome. The drug is available in various forms such as oral tablets, capsules, and oral solutions under different brand names, both as a prescription and over-the-counter medication.
