Millions of consumers safely use loperamide, a prescription and over-the-counter anti-diarrheal medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Recent reports show a small but growing number of people are taking very high doses of loperamide in an attempt to self-manage opioid withdrawal or to achieve a euphoric high. At high doses, these individuals may be at risk of severe or fatal cardiac events. Learn more about preventing loperamide misuse at LoperamideSafety.org.
