Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of loperamide, after oral administration of increasing doses (1 to 16 mg) of loperamide oxide, has been investigated in 10 healthy male volunteers, using a randomised cross-over design. Comparison of the maximum plasma loperamide concentration and AUC demonstrated that the bioavailability of loperamide was proportional to the dose of loperamide oxide administered.
