Does Using Loperamide For Long Duration Have Any Side Effects?
What are the long term effects of lopermide usage?
I am on a weight training bulking regime. The preworkout i take usually causes loose stools, not diarrhea, just frequent visits to the toilet.
Over the past five days one lopermide for two days has helped me. How long can it safely be taken? say i take it two times a week. 2mg each dose. Any major side effects?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As a physician, I would like to tell you that Loperamide is a drug which slows down the bowel movements, and according to your problems, you may be allergic to one of the contents of your preworkout formula. Thus I would suggest that you should change the brand of your preworkout formula as taking Loperamide for long duration can hamper with your gut motility.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Abhijeet
