Diarrhea can cause your body to be dehydrated. Make sure to drink plenty of water and electrolytes, such as Dioralyte, to replace the fluids and mineral lost. If you develop signs of dehydration (e.g. extreme thirst, infrequent urination, muscle cramps, weakness, fainting) contact your doctor immediately.

Like all medicines, loperamide can cause side effects, but many people have no side effects or only minor ones.

These common side effects happen in more than 1 in 100 people. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you feel uncomfortable with these side effects, or they don't go away:

• constipation
• feeling dizzy
• feeling sick
• headaches
• farting (wind)

It's rare to have a serious side effect with loperamide, but tell a doctor or pharmacist straight away if you:

• feel faint or less alert, or if you pass out
• start moving in a clumsy, uncoordinated way

In rare cases, it's possible to have a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to loperamide. In that case, call 999 immediately.
