What can be done to quickly stop diarrhea while at work?

If you need to stop diarrhea quickly while at work, taking loperamide can be helpful. Loperamide is a medication that slows down how fast things move through your intestines, which can help reduce diarrhea.

How Loperamide Works

• Slows Intestinal Movement: This helps your body absorb more water and makes stools less watery.
• Convenient: It's available over-the-counter, meaning you can buy it without a prescription.

Studies

1. Study 1: Found that loperamide is effective in treating diarrhea by slowing bowel movements.
2. Study 2: Showed that loperamide works well for managing diarrhea symptoms.

Remember, it's important to follow the instructions on the package or those given by a healthcare provider when using loperamide. If symptoms persist, consider consulting a healthcare professional for further advice. Loperamide should not be used if you have fever, worsening abdominal pain, blood in your stool or symptoms lasting more than 2 days.
