Common use
Diarex is indicated for the control and symptomatic relief of acute, non-specific diarrhea. It is commonly used in cases of traveler’s diarrhea, viral gastroenteritis, and diarrhea associated with mild food intolerances. Healthcare providers may also recommend it for managing diarrhea symptoms in patients undergoing certain medical treatments, provided no contraindications exist. It is not intended for chronic diarrheal conditions unless directed by a physician.
Dosage and direction
Adults and children 12 years and older: Take 2 caplets initially, followed by 1 caplet after each loose stool. Do not exceed 8 caplets in 24 hours.
Children 6-11 years: 1 caplet initially, followed by ½ caplet after each loose stool. Do not exceed 3 caplets in 24 hours. Supervision by an adult is recommended.
Children under 6 years: Not recommended without physician consultation.
Take with a full glass of water. May be taken with or without food. Use only until diarrhea is controlled, for no more than 48 hours unless directed by a healthcare provider.
Precautions
- Do not use if fever is present or if stools contain blood or mucus.
- Consult a physician if symptoms persist beyond 48 hours.
- Maintain adequate fluid intake to prevent dehydration.
- Not recommended for pregnant women during the first trimester unless advised by a physician.
- Use with caution in patients with liver impairment.
- Keep out of reach of children.
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to loperamide or any component of the formulation.
- Patients with abdominal pain without diarrhea.
- Conditions where constipation should be avoided (e.g., megacolon).
- Acute ulcerative colitis or bacterial enterocolitis (e.g., caused by Salmonella, Shigella, or Campylobacter).
- Children under 6 years of age.
Possible side effects
Most side effects are mild and transient. Common reactions may include:
- Constipation
- Dizziness or drowsiness
- Nausea
- Abdominal discomfort or distension
Rare but serious side effects include allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling) or symptoms of toxic megacolon (severe bloating, abdominal pain). Discontinue use and seek medical attention if severe reactions occur.
Drug interaction
Diarex may interact with:
- Other antidiarrheal or constipating agents (additive effect)
- QT-prolonging drugs (e.g., certain antibiotics, antifungals, antipsychotics)
- P-glycoprotein inhibitors (e.g., quinidine, ritonavir)
- CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, erythromycin)
Consult a healthcare provider before use if taking prescription medications.
Missed dose
As Diarex is taken as needed after loose stools, a “missed dose” is not applicable. Do not double doses. Resume with the next required caplet after a subsequent loose stool.
Overdose
Overdose may lead to severe constipation, central nervous system depression (including drowsiness, stupor), or respiratory depression. In case of suspected overdose, seek immediate medical attention or contact a poison control center. Provide supportive care; naloxone may be used in cases of respiratory depression under medical supervision.
Storage
Store at room temperature (15-30°C). Keep in the original container, tightly closed, and protect from moisture and light. Do not use after the expiration date printed on the packaging.
