Pharmacy Action Diarrhoea Relief Loperamide 2mg 20 Capsules (S2)

Pharmacy Action Diarrhoea Relief 20 Capsules contains Loperamide hydrochloride 2mg, a trusted medicine used for the short-term relief of acute diarrhoea. It works by slowing down the movement of the bowel, helping the body absorb more water and electrolytes, which results in firmer stools and reduced frequency of bowel movements.

This pack provides 20 capsules, making it convenient to keep on hand for sudden episodes of diarrhoea. It is suitable for adults and children over 12 years old when taken as directed.

This is a Schedule 2 (S2) Pharmacy Medicine. Always follow directions for use. If symptoms persist beyond 48 hours, consult a healthcare professional.
