To request a loperamide prescription through Klarity Health:
When selecting an antidiarrheal medication, it’s important to consider the specific cause of diarrhea, potential side effects, and individual health conditions. Below is a comparison of loperamide with other commonly used antidiarrheal medications:
| Medication | Use Case | Side Effect Risk | Cost (Generic) | Administration |
| Loperamide | Acute and chronic diarrhea | Low (constipation, dizziness) | Low | Oral (capsule, liquid) |
| Diphenoxylate/Atropine (Lomotil) | Moderate to severe diarrhea | Moderate (drowsiness, dry mouth) | Moderate | Oral (tablet, liquid) |
| Bismuth Subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) | Mild diarrhea, indigestion | Low (black stools, constipation) | Low | Oral (tablet, liquid) |
Loperamide is effective with a mild side effect profile. Diphenoxylate/Atropine (Lomotil), a Schedule V controlled substance, is suitable for more severe cases. Bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) helps with mild diarrhea and upset stomach, though it may cause darkened stools or tongue.making it a popular choice for those sensitive to hormonal fluctuations.
