  • Loperamide belongs to the opioid receptor agonist drug class and works locally in the gut.
  • It is a non-prescription product and can be ordered without a prescription, but it is still dispensed by a registered pharmacist.
  • It should be used as directed on the pack or by your pharmacist or doctor.
Is this strength right for me?

Is this strength right for me?

  • Colodium is available as a 2mg capsule only. Check the packaging and follow the dosing instructions provided.
  • Do not exceed the maximum daily dose stated on the packaging, and do not use it for longer than the pack advises without speaking to a doctor.
  • Do not give it to children unless a doctor or pharmacist has advised it, as dosing and suitability differ by age.
  • If you need advice on whether it suits you, you can consult a doctor or pharmacist online before or after you order.
Delivery, packaging and ordering

Side effects, safety and when to seek help

Side effects, safety and when to seek help

  • Colodium is generally well tolerated when taken as directed, but some people may experience side effects. Avoid alcohol, as it may increase dizziness and drowsiness.
  • Do not use it if you are allergic to loperamide. It may interact with medicines such as ritonavir, quinidine, and antifungals like itraconazole or ketoconazole. Some medicines that affect heart rhythm may also interact with loperamide, especially at doses higher than recommended.
  • Loperamide does not treat the underlying cause of your symptoms. Persistent, severe or bloody symptoms, or symptoms with high fever or signs of dehydration, should be assessed by a doctor.
  • Seek immediate medical attention for a fast or irregular heartbeat, fainting, severe abdominal pain or swelling, swelling of the face or lips, difficulty breathing, or any severe or unexpected reaction.

How to take your Colodium

  1. Step 1

    Check the pack, and confirm with your pharmacist or doctor that Colodium is suitable for you. Tell them about all medicines you take, any heart or liver problems, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

  2. Step 2

    Follow the dosing instructions on the packaging or from your pharmacist. The usual starting dose for adults is 2mg (one capsule), and you should not exceed the maximum daily dose stated on the pack.

  3. Step 3

    Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Avoid alcohol while taking it.

  4. Step 4

    Treatment should not usually continue beyond 2 days without medical advice. Stop and seek medical help if symptoms persist, worsen, or come with fever, blood or signs of dehydration.

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.
