ROKO Capsule 1×10 is a prescription anti-diarrheal medication containing loperamide (2mg) as its active ingredient. It is used to effectively manage sudden (acute) or chronic diarrhea by slowing down the movement of the intestines. 
Uses and Benefits
  • Treatment of Diarrhea: Effectively manages acute (sudden onset) diarrhea, including traveler’s diarrhea.
  • Chronic Diarrhea Management: Helps control symptoms in certain chronic conditions, such as diarrhea associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in adults.
  • Reduces Stool Output: Can reduce the volume of discharge in patients who have undergone an ileostomy (a surgical opening in the abdominal wall).
  • Restores Normal Bowel Function: By slowing bowel movement, it allows the body to reabsorb more water and salts from the intestinal contents, making stools firmer and less frequent.
  • Controls Urgency: Increases control over bowel movements by increasing the tone of the anal sphincter, which is often weakened during acute diarrhea. 
Key Information and Safety
  • Administration: The capsule should be swallowed whole with a glass of water, with or without food. Do not crush or chew it.
  • Hydration: It’s crucial to drink plenty of fluids (water, clear broths, electrolyte solutions) to prevent dehydration caused by diarrhea.
  • Do Not Use If: Do not take the capsule if you have diarrhea with blood in your stool (dysentery), a high fever, or severe constipation. These symptoms may indicate a more serious infection.
  • Driving: This medicine may cause dizziness or drowsiness. Exercise caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
  • Alcohol: Avoid alcohol consumption as it can exacerbate drowsiness and cause abdominal discomfort.
