What causes diarrhoea?

Diarrhoea is the passing of loose or watery stools more regularly than normal. It usually happens when your bowels are unable to absorb fluid back into your body properly, causing excessive water to come out with your stool.

Diarrhoea can be caused by bacterial or viral infections, food intolerances, anxiety or chronic conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcerative colitis and Chron's disease.

If you experience diarrhoea regularly, speak to your doctor. They can help you to determine the cause of your diarrhoea. From there, they can provide advice on how to prevent bouts of diarrhoea from developing again.

Why is it important to treat diarrhoea?

Diarrhoea causes the body to lose fluids, resulting in dehydration.

Symptoms of dehydration can include:

• Dizziness
• Dry mouth
• Dry skin
• Fainting
• Faster breathing
• headaches
• Increased heartbeat
• Muscle cramps
• Sunken eyes

Treating diarrhoea can greatly reduce the risk of becoming dehydrated.

While treating diarrhoea with Norimode, make sure you drink plenty of fluids throughout the day to further prevent dehydration. Norimode (loperamide) will not hydrate you.

Avoid drinking alcohol or caffeinated beverages while you have diarrhoea, as these can worse your symptoms. Stick to water and fruit juices.

If your diarrhoea lasts longer than 48 hours, contact your doctor before continuing to take Norimode.

How does Norimode Work?

Norimode tablets contain 2 mg of loperamide hydrochloride as the active ingredient.

Loperamide hydrochloride slows down contractions in the bowels.

Normally, muscles contract around the bowel walls to push stools along to be passed out. As this process continues, water and nutrients are extracted back into the body by the walls of the bowels.

If the stool matter travels too quickly due to an infection or other bowel disease, water remains in the stool, which passes out as diarrhoea.

Norimode slows down the movement of stool matter in your bowels. This increases the time it stays in the bowel, causing more water and electrolytes to be absorbed, so your stool can return to its normal form.
