Children:

Elderly patients:
No dosage adjustment is necessary.
Renal impairment:
No dosage adjustment is necessary.
Liver failure:
Although no pharmacokinetic data are available for patients with liver failure, this medication should be used with caution in these patients due to reduced first-pass effect.
The oral freeze-dried powder should be placed on your tongue, where it will dissolve, and can be swallowed with your saliva. No liquid is needed to take the oral freeze-dried powder.
Pregnancy:
There are limited data on the use of loperamide hydrochloride in pregnant women. Animal studies have shown no direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to reproductive toxicity (see Section 5.3). As a precautionary measure, the use of loperamide hydrochloride should, if possible, be avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding:
No effects on the newborn or breastfed infant are expected, as systemic exposure to loperamide in breastfeeding women is negligible. Loperamide may be prescribed temporarily during breastfeeding if dietary measures are insufficient.
