Common use
Diarex is indicated for the management of acute nonspecific diarrhea, traveler’s diarrhea, and chronic diarrhea associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It is also used as adjunctive therapy in diarrhea-predominant inflammatory bowel conditions under medical supervision. The medication is suitable for symptomatic treatment of diarrhea caused by viral or bacterial gastroenteritis, provided that antimicrobial therapy is administered concurrently when appropriate.
Dosage and direction
Adults and children 12 years and older:
Initial dose: 4 mg (2 tablets) after the first loose stool, followed by 2 mg (1 tablet) after each subsequent loose stool.
Maximum daily dose: 16 mg (8 tablets) per 24-hour period.
Administration:
Tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. May be taken with or without food. Do not crush or chew. Treatment should not exceed 48 hours without medical consultation. For chronic diarrhea, use under physician guidance with periodic reevaluation.
Precautions
- Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment
- Not recommended for use during pregnancy unless clearly needed
- Elderly patients may be more sensitive to effects; monitor closely
- Avoid concomitant use with other antidiarrheals or constipating agents
- Discontinue use if abdominal distension occurs
- Not intended for use in diarrhea associated with pseudomembranous colitis
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to loperamide or any component of the formulation
- Children under 12 years of age
- Patients with abdominal pain without diarrhea
- Acute dysentery characterized by blood in stools and high fever
- Severe ulcerative colitis or toxic megacolon
- Patients with impaired liver function severe enough to affect metabolism
Possible side effect
Most side effects are dose-related and transient. Common reactions include:
- Constipation (10–15% of users)
- Dizziness or drowsiness (5–8%)
- Nausea or abdominal discomfort (3–5%)
- Dry mouth (2–4%)
Rare but serious effects include allergic reactions, paralytic ileus, or toxic megacolon (incidence <0.1%).
Drug interaction
- May potentiate effects of CNS depressants (alcohol, barbiturates)
- Concurrent use with opioids may increase constipation risk
- P-glycoprotein inhibitors (e.g., quinidine) may increase loperamide levels
- Antacids may reduce absorption; administer 1 hour apart
- Macrolide antibiotics may inhibit loperamide metabolism
- Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) may interact unpredictably
Missed dose
Since Diarex is taken as needed after loose stools, missing a dose is not applicable in the conventional sense. Do not double doses. If diarrhea persists beyond 48 hours, consult a healthcare provider rather than increasing frequency.
Overdose
Symptoms may include CNS depression (drowsiness, stupor), nausea, vomiting, and urinary retention. In severe cases, respiratory depression may occur. Management includes gastric lavage if presented early, activated charcoal, and naloxone administration for CNS effects. Supportive care with monitoring of respiratory and cardiac function is essential.
Storage
Store at room temperature (15–30°C) in original packaging. Protect from light and moisture. Keep blister strips sealed until use. Do not transfer to alternative containers. Keep out of reach of children. Discard any unused medication after expiration date printed on packaging.
Disclaimer
This product is for symptomatic relief of diarrhea and is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment of underlying conditions. Persistent diarrhea may indicate serious illness. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist beyond 48 hours, if fever develops, or if blood appears in stools. Use during pregnancy or lactation only under medical supervision.
