Say "NO" to Cap. Imodium!

Today i want to share something about one medicine called Cap.Imodium ( Loperamide Hydrochloride )This medication is a over the counter medication and i can say it is quite famous among us to treat Diarrhea. Usually if the patients are suffering of diarrhea, doctor will prescribe this medication because of it fast acting. I want to share to you that this medication contain "babi". Most of us did not notice about it, but it is fact. I really hope that who are usually use this medication or plan to use this medication, better ask your doctor to change with the other medication ( especially for muslim ). Imodium inhibits hypermotility by direct action on the bowel wall. Its inhibition of peristalsis is the result of decreasing the activity of both the longitudinal muscles (preparatory and reflex phases) and the circular muscles (reflex phase). Beside that, it normalizes the stool in both acute and chronic diarrhoea. It is incompletely absorbed from the gut, and it is almost completely metabolized in the liver where it is conjugated and excreted via the bile. Imodium is mainly eliminated via the faeces.

The other alternative of medicine that you can use to treat diarrhea is Tab.Dhamotil. This medication also use to treat acute and chronic diarrhea. Now, especially for the muslim patient, the pharmacist will change the cap.Imodium to tab.dhamotil because of this case. There are some doctor are prescribing cap. imodium for muslim patient but in case you get this medicine, immediately tell the pharmacy that you know that cap.imodium contain "babi" and change it with tab.dhamotil.
