How does Stoperan Junior work?
Inhibition
of intestinal peristalsis
Loperamide, an ingredient in Stoperan Junior, treats diarrhea by acting directly on the gut wall. This drug usually stops diarrhea within a few hours by reducing excessive intestinal peristaltic movements.t3.
Fewer
bowel
movements
By slowing down peristalsis and increasing water resorption, gastrointestinal content moves more slowly, which reduces the frequency of bowel movements.
Rapid
effect
Stoperan Junior usually stops diarrhea within a few hours3.
Liquid relief for children
Available in liquid form, it is an ideal alternative to tablets, making it extremely friendly for young patients3.
What types of diarrhea can Stoperan be used for?
Acute diarrhea
e.g., caused by
stress, a change in diet,
or mild food poisoning
Traveler’s diarrhea
associated with a change
in environment and
bacterial flora
Chronic diarrhea
as symptomatic support,
e.g., for irritable
bowel syndrome
