Stop It 2mg Capsules 20 Blister (S2)

Stop It 2mg Capsules 20 Blister is a pharmacy medicine used for the temporary relief of acute diarrhoea. Each capsule contains loperamide hydrochloride 2mg, an anti-diarrhoeal agent that works by slowing the movement of the intestines. This allows more water and electrolytes to be absorbed, helping to restore normal bowel function and reduce the frequency and urgency of bowel movements.

Conveniently packaged in a blister strip, these capsules are portable, hygienic, and ideal for use at home, work, or while travelling. Stop It is suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over when taken as directed.

As a Schedule 2 (S2) Pharmacy Medicine, Stop It can be purchased without a prescription for short-term diarrhoea relief.
