Anti-Diarrheal Medication

Diarrhea is an illness that can be caused by bacteria, parasites, and viruses. It can also be a symptom of intestinal disorders and diseases. Many people will normally suffer from this condition at least once a year and can choose to either wait it out or get medication to speed up recovery. 

At Wellspring, we offer anti-diarrheal medication at the most affordable prices in the market. With our same-day shipping and countrywide delivery, our customers are able to receive their medicines in the shortest time possible. That way, they can treat their diarrhea and overcome all the accompanying symptoms fast.

Types of Anti-Diarrheal Medication

There are two main types of anti-diarrheal medications, which are:

  • Loperamide

Loperamide is the generic name of a drug used to treat diarrhea. It’s commonly known by the brand name Imodium. This medicine works by slowing down movement in the intestines, which allows the body to absorb more fluid. Hence, the passing of loose, watery stool is prevented. After taking Imodium, you’ll have normal bowel movements with less frequency.

  • Bismuth Subsalicylate

Commonly sold under the brand name Pepto-Bismol, bismuth subsalicylate is an anti-diarrheal drug that can also be used to treat heartburn, indigestion, and nausea. Its main function is to balance the movement of fluids through the intestines. This slows down the growth of bacteria and viruses, which are some of the causes of diarrhea.

At Wellspring, we offer anti-diarrheal loperamide 2mg in two bottle sizes, one of 96 caplets and the other 200 caplets.

How to Take Your Anti-diarrheal Drugs Safely

Here are several precautions to take when using your anti-diarrheal medication to ensure they work well and remain safe for use:

  • Make sure to read the facts label to find important information about the correct dosage for each age group. You’ll also find details on how often to use the tablets. This is necessary because, unlike prescription meds, you don't receive instructions from a doctor.
  • In case you're already on other types of medication, consult your physician before using loperamide or bismuth subsalicylate. That is because their active ingredients may react with other medications and result in unpleasant side effects. Some of the drugs that you’re supposed to avoid taking alongside anti-diarrheal medications are antibiotics, prescription pain killers, and diabetes medicine.
  • Avoid using different types of anti-diarrheal medications simultaneously. Since they could contain similar active ingredients, this might lead to an overdose, which is dangerous.
  • Store your medicine bottles in a cool, dry place, and out of the reach of little children. Exposing your medication to heat causes them to degrade faster. In addition, never use expired medicine.
