Unreferenced date December 2009 An anti diarrhoeal drug or anti diarrheal drug American English is any medication which provides symptomatic relief for diarrhea diarrhoea . Types Antibiotics such as Loperamide Hydrochloride and Metronidazole . Electrolyte solutions are used to replace lost fluids and salt s in acute cases. Bulking agent s like methylcellulose , guar gum or plant dietary fiber fibre bran , sterculia , Psyllium seed husks isabgol , etc. are used for diarrhoea in functional bowel disease and to control ileostomy output. Absorption chemistry Absorbent s absorb toxic substances that cause infective diarrhoea, methylcellulose is an absorbent. Anti inflammatory solutions like Bismuth subsalicylate . Opioid s classical use besides pain relief is as an anti diarrhoeal drug. Opioids have agonist actions on the intestinal opioid receptors, which when activated cause constipation . Drugs such as morphine or codeine can be used to relieve diarrhoea this way. A notable opioid for the purpose of relief of diarrhoea is Loperamide which is only an agonist of the mu Opioid receptor opioid receptor s in the large intestine and does not have opioid affects in the central nervous system as it doesn t cross the blood brain barrier in significant amounts. This enables loperamide hydrochloride to be used to the same benefit as other opioid drugs but without the CNS side effects or potential for abuse.
