Administering Eldoper Capsule correctly is crucial. Here are the standard steps:

• Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food.

• If you find it difficult to swallow the capsule, consult your doctor for alternatives.

• Always adhere strictly to your doctor's instructions regarding when and how to use this medicine.

Eldoper Capsule is taken orally.

Eldoper Capsule contains loperamide (2 mg). Here's how it works:

• Mu-opioid receptor activation: The loperamide in Eldoper Capsule binds to and activates mu-opioid receptors in your gut. This reduces the release of certain chemicals that contribute to diarrhoea.

• Slowing down intestinal movement: Loperamide disrupts the gut's electrical activity and muscular contractions, increasing the time food spends in the intestines.

• Absorption of fluids and electrolytes: The medicine increases the tone of your anal sphincter, which helps the body absorb more fluids and electrolytes.

• Reduction in bowel movements: By decreasing the frequency of colonic mass movements, Eldoper Capsule reduces the urge to defecate.

• Decrease in fluid secretion: Eldoper Capsule also works to reduce fluid secretion in your intestines, which helps to solidify stools and further manage symptoms of diarrhoea.

• Store Eldoper Capsule in a cool, dry place, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep it away from direct sunlight as it can affect the medicine's effectiveness.

• Ensure the storage area is not exposed to excessive moisture or heat.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

• Use Eldoper Capsule before the expiry date printed on the package for maximum benefits.

• If you're taking Eldoper Capsule for acute diarrhoea, ensure your diet includes plenty of fluids and electrolytes. This helps replenish what your body loses during bouts of diarrhoea.

• If you're managing chronic diarrhoea associated with conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, incorporate low-fat and low-fibre foods into your diet. These are usually easier on your digestive system. Always consult your doctor about specific dietary changes.
