How does Lopiagma work?

Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo MBBS , Internal Medicine

Lopiagma contains loperamide. It works by slowing down the movement of bowel in the intestine which lowers the fecal volume and increases its viscosity. This also allows better absorption of salts and water in the body. Hence in this way Lopiagma provides relief from diarrhea.
