Even so, the decision to switch rests with the doctor or pharmacist; do not change a chronic treatment without consultation.

Generics with the same INN

The same active substance (LOPERAMIDUM), a different brand or manufacturer. Sorted by price, lowest first.

Generic vs original — in short

Generics contain the same active substance (INN) as the original product, at the same dose and in the same pharmaceutical form. To be authorised they must demonstrate bioequivalence — that is, a similar pharmacokinetic profile (the blood concentration over time is within ±20%). Typical differences are in the excipients (relevant for patients allergic to lactose, gluten or colourings), the brand and the manufacturer. For chronic treatments, switching from one generic to another is done with the doctor's agreement — even if the active substance is identical, individual tolerance can differ.

Alternatives from the same category

A different INN, but the same therapeutic category — Diaree. These are NOT direct substitutes; consult the doctor or pharmacist.
