1Second Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Semmelweis University Medical School.
The antidiarrhoeal effect of loperamide (Imodium) has been examined in 87 hospitalized gynaecological patients suffering from diarrhoea of different origins. The characteristic parameters and the carbon passage time were observed. According to observations Imodium has a rapid action, decreases the number of daily defecations, normalizes the consistency of stool, and controls the other symptoms accompanying diarrhoea. It increases passage time. The drug has no notable side effect and is of high value in controlling or preventing diarrhoeas caused by stress situations.
