Overview

Colodium 2mg Capsule contains Loperamide Hydrochloride 2mg and is presented as a capsule. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.

It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.

You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.

Directions for Use

Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. For acute diarrhoea, an initial dose is usually taken first, followed by a further capsule after each loose stool, without exceeding the maximum daily dose stated on the packaging. Fluids and oral rehydration should also be taken to replace lost water and salts, especially if diarrhoea is frequent.

Dosage

The usual adult dose for acute diarrhoea is 2mg (one capsule) taken initially, followed by 2mg after each subsequent loose stool, up to the maximum daily dose stated on the packaging, and treatment should not usually continue beyond 2 days without medical advice. This product is generally not recommended for children below the age stated on the packaging without a doctor’s guidance.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, and keep the capsules in their original blister packaging until use. Keep out of the reach and sight of children.

Relevant Information

Loperamide provides symptomatic relief from diarrhoea but does not treat its underlying cause, so persistent, severe, or bloody diarrhoea, or diarrhoea accompanied by high fever or signs of dehydration, should be assessed by a doctor rather than managed with this medicine alone. Maintaining adequate fluid and salt intake remains important throughout an episode of diarrhoea.
