Frequently Asked Questions
What is Andial Tablet used for?
Andial Tablet contains loperamide, which is primarily used to treat acute or chronic diarrhea by slowing down bowel movements.
How does Andial Tablet work?
Andial works by decreasing the movement of the muscles in the gut, leading to slower passage of stool and increased absorption of fluids, which helps to reduce the frequency and urgency of diarrhea.
What is the usual dosage for Andial Tablet?
The usual adult dose is 2 mg (typically one tablet) after the first loose stool, followed by 1 tablet after each subsequent loose stool. The maximum dose should not exceed 8 tablets (16 mg) per day unless directed by a doctor. Dosage for children depends on age and weight; consult a doctor before use.
What are the possible side effects of Andial Tablet?
Common side effects include constipation, abdominal pain, nausea, dry mouth, and dizziness. Rarely, serious side effects like severe abdominal bloating or allergic reactions may occur.
Is Andial Tablet safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Andial should only be used during pregnancy if clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor. It passes into breast milk in small amounts, so consult your healthcare provider before use if you are breastfeeding.
Can Andial Tablet be taken with other medications?
Andial can interact with certain medications, such as antibiotics, antifungals, and some heart medications. Always inform your doctor or pharmacist about any other medicines you are taking.
What precautions should be taken while using Andial Tablet?
- Do not use Andial to treat diarrhea caused by bacterial infections, blood in the stool, or high fever unless directed by a doctor.
- Avoid use in children under 6 years unless prescribed.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids.
- Do not exceed the recommended dose.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Andial Tablet?
Andial is usually taken as needed, so a strict dosing schedule is not necessary. If you miss a dose and still have diarrhea, take the next dose after your next loose stool. Do not double up doses.
How should Andial Tablet be stored?
Store Andial at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep it out of reach of children.
