Buy Diarrhoea Relief Loperamide 2mg Capsules
Diarrhoea Relief Loperamide 2mg Capsules are an effective treatment for short-term attacks of diarrhoea and diarrhoea caused by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
How Diarrhoea Relief Loperamide 2mg Capsules work
Diarrhoea Relief Loperamide 2mg Capsules contain the active ingredient loperamide hydrochloride. The capsules work by slowing down your overactive bowel, allowing your body to absorb fluids more easily and, as a result, ease your diarrhoea.

The dosage for this anti-diarrhoea treatment is slightly different depending on whether you are taking it short-term or for the treatment of long-term diarrhoea caused by IBS.
For relief of short-term diarrhoea:
Take two capsules to start your treatment, then one capsule after each loose bowel movement. Do not take for attacks lasting longer than 48 hours. You must not take more than 6 capsules in a 24-hour period.
