what is the mechanism of action for loperamide (imodium)
Loperamide Loperamide is an opioid-receptor agonist and acts on the Î¼-opioid receptors in the myenteric plexus of the large intestine. Loperamide works like morphine, decreasing the activity of the myenteric plexus, which decreases the tone of the longitudinal and circular smooth muscles of the intestinal wall.[30][31] This increases the time material stays in the intestine, allowing more water to be absorbed from the fecal matter. Loperamide also decreases colonic mass movements and suppresses the gastrocolic reflex.[32]
