Teva-Loperamide is a pharmaceutical formulation of Loperamide Hydrochloride manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals; one of the world’s largest generic pharmaceutical manufacturers with an established track record in producing high quality generic medications to regulatory standards. Loperamide is an opioid receptor agonist that acts locally on the gastrointestinal tract’s mu opioid receptors to reduce intestinal motility and fluid secretion, producing its anti diarrheal effect without meaningful central nervous system penetration at standard doses due to its active efflux from the brain by P-glycoprotein. A pharmacological characteristic that distinguishes it from other opioid compounds and underpins its established safety profile at recommended doses.
Loperamide’s mechanism of action through mu-opioid receptor activation in the enteric nervous system slows intestinal transit time, reduces the frequency of bowel movements, and decreases fluid and electrolyte loss; making it one of the most studied compounds in gastrointestinal motility research. Its preferential peripheral activity without central opioid effects at standard doses has also made it a frequently referenced tool compound in research examining P-glycoprotein efflux transporter function, blood brain barrier penetration studies, and comparative opioid receptor pharmacology across peripheral versus central tissue distribution.
Teva’s pharmaceutical manufacturing standard contributes a quality, purity, and consistency benchmark consistent with regulated generic pharmaceutical production. Teva-Loperamide is stocked by Canada Steroid Depot following the same rigorous third party lab verification process applied to every product in our range. Each batch is tested for concentration accuracy and purity before being made available, with COA documentation available on request. All orders ship discreetly across Canada in plain, unmarked packaging with no identifying information on the exterior.
Loperamide should be used at the recommended dose only. At standard doses it is well tolerated, but misuse at doses significantly above the recommended amount carries serious cardiac risks including QT prolongation and potentially fatal arrhythmias, which have been documented in cases of intentional high dose misuse. If diarrhea persists beyond 48 hours or is accompanied by fever or blood in stool, seek medical attention.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light and heat.
TEVA LOPERAMIDE is a non prescription antidiarrheal medication manufactured by Teva Canada Limited. Each tablet contains 2mg of loperamide hydrochloride. This package contains 12 tablets for a total of 24mg of loperamide hydrochloride.
Loperamide is used for the symptomatic control of acute non specific diarrhea alongside appropriate fluid and electrolyte replacement. It is also medically indicated for certain forms of chronic diarrhea and for reducing intestinal discharge following ileostomies, colostomies, and other intestinal resections.
Loperamide binds to opioid receptors in the intestinal wall and reduces the release of acetylcholine and prostaglandins involved in intestinal movement. This decreases propulsive peristalsis, increases intestinal transit time, and can reduce stool frequency while improving stool consistency.
At recommended doses, loperamide acts predominantly within the gastrointestinal tract. It has high affinity for the gut wall and undergoes extensive first pass liver metabolism, resulting in very low systemic bioavailability. This limits central nervous system exposure when the medication is used as directed.
Loperamide should not be used when slowing intestinal movement could be harmful, including certain cases involving bloody diarrhea with fever, acute ulcerative colitis, or invasive bacterial enterocolitis. Excessive doses can cause serious and potentially fatal heart rhythm abnormalities. For acute diarrhea, medical assessment is recommended if symptoms do not improve within 48 hours.
