Key Information
What is Colodium 2mg Capsule?
- Colodium 2mg Capsule contains loperamide hydrochloride 2mg and is supplied as a capsule.
- 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?
- 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
- Choose your product and place your order. No prescription is needed, and your order is dispensed by a registered pharmacist.
- You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order.
- The product page lists fast delivery. Delivery fees depend on your location and order terms, and are not always free. Check the page for current charges.
- Check the product packaging for its Malaysian registration details, and verify them through the relevant Ministry of Health Malaysia resources if needed.
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
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.
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.
Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Avoid alcohol while taking it.
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.

Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.
