Introduction

Loperamide + Lactic Acid Bacillus is a combination medicine used to treat acute and chronic diarrhea. Loperamide is an anti-diarrheal that slows down bowel movements, while Lactic Acid Bacillus is a probiotic that helps restore the natural balance of good bacteria in the gut.

It is effective in cases of loose stools caused by infections, food changes, or antibiotic use.
