Antipropulsive
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antidiarrhoeal drug
An antipropulsive is a drug used in the treatment of diarrhea. It does not address the underlying cause (for example, infection or malabsorption), but it does decrease motility.[1]
Examples include diphenoxylate, loperamide, and eluxadoline.
