Loperamide vs Morphine
 | Loperamide |  | Morphine |  |
| This medication is used to treat sudden diarrhea (including traveler's diarrhea). It works by slowing down the movement of the gut. This decreases the number of bowel movements and makes the stool less watery. Loperamide is also used to reduce the amount of discharge in patients who have undergone an ileostomy. It is also used to treat on-going diarrhea in people with inflammatory bowel disease. Loperamide treats only the symptoms, not the cause of the diarrhea (e.g., infection). Treatment of other symptoms and the cause of the diarrhea should be determined by your doctor. Do not use in children younger than 6 years unless directed by your doctor. This medication should not be used in infants younger than 24 months. | morphine Oral is used to help relieve moderate to severe pain. Morphine belongs to a class of drugs known as narcotic (opiate) analgesics. It works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. | |||

| Add Loperamide review I got very sick with diarrhea and stomach pain, and my doctor prescribed Loperamide to me and the diarrhea stopped almost immediately. Now and then I get diarrhea and I take Loperamide and it goes away. I have colitis and had my gallbladder out and had a tubal. Have severe diarrhea and this helps somewhat. Have taken an oral powder and this worked better. | Add Morphine review I have had chronic back pain my entire life. In 2008 I had the first of three spinal fusion surgeries and one neurostimulator implant surgery. I live in Georgia where the government tells the doctor how to dispense medicine. So my doctor has maxed me out at 160 mg of Morphine per day. By itself I would have to stay in bed all day in pain. I have two other powerful pain meds that bring the p ... Had six open back surgeries with fusion from l2 through s1. failed back surgeries dissabled cant walk a city block. severe back pain caused by prolong scolosis of back all forms of meds spinal fusion injections anfd all fforms of rx for pain and ease bak pain to no avail I have been on 100mg 3 times a day for about 16 years now. You most definitely build up a tolerance for this drug. My pain doctor switches it about every 3 years to Oxycontin 80mg. That seems to help with the tolerance build up. Hope this helps someone out there! | |||
