Uses / Indications:
Acute diarrhea (sudden onset, brief duration)
Long-lasting diarrhea that happens with certain intestinal illnesses is called chronic diarrhea.
Diarrhea from traveling
Diarrhea associated to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Pregnancy interaction:
Diaryl 2mg Tablet has Loperamide in it, which is a medicine that stops diarrhea by making feces harder and less frequent.
Pregnancy: Only use loperamide if you really need to when pregnant. Studies on animals haven't found a lot of harm, but there isn't much data on humans. Before using, talk to your doctor, especially in the first trimester.
Breastfeeding: Small amounts of Loperamide may get into breast milk, thus it is not safe to use during breastfeeding because it could hurt babies.
Fertility: Taking it as directed does not seem to have any effect on fertility.
Expert advice:
Drink a lot of fluids and electrolytes when taking Diaryl to avoid being dehydrated.
Don't drink beer, coffee, or spicy foods until the diarrhea goes away.
If you don't feel better after 48 hours or if your symptoms get worse (fever, blood in stool), stop taking the drug.
If you have severe diarrhea from a bacterial infection or colitis, don't take Diaryl.
If you feel dizzy or sleepy after taking it, don't drive or use heavy machinery.
Tell your doctor if you have liver disease, since they may need to change your dose.
Side Effects:
Not being able to poop
Cramps in the stomach
Feeling sick
Feeling dizzy or weary
Mouth that is dry
Side effects that are rare yet serious:
Swelling in the stomach
Rash or irritation on the skin
Severe allergic response (trouble breathing, swelling of the face and throat)
Irregular heartbeat (with too much use or use over a lengthy period of time)
Get medical help right away if you have significant reactions.
How to use:
You can take the drug with or without meals and water.
Your doctor will tell you to take 2mg at first and then 1 capsule with each loose stool. This is the standard dose for adults.
Don't take more than 16mg a day.
Once your stool returns to normal consistency, stop taking the drug.
Keep it in a cool, dry place where it won't get wet or see sunshine.
How it works:
The primary element in Diaryl 2mg, loperamide, slows down the movement of the intestines (gut motility).
This lets the stool take in more water and electrolytes, which makes it firmer and less frequent.
It also makes the anal sphincter tighter, which helps with diarrhea-related urgency and incontinence.

Medicine interaction:
Antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin and Clarithromycin may raise the levels of Loperamide.
Antifungal medications (Ketoconazole, Itraconazole) may exacerbate side effects.
CNS depressants, such alcohol, sedatives, and antihistamines, make you more sleepy.
Loperamide levels go up when you take P-glycoprotein inhibitors like Quinidine or Ritonavir.
Always tell your doctor about all the prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal drugs you are using.
