Can a anti diarrhea medication cause a positive drug test?
Some antidiarrheal drugs can affect the results of drug tests. One example is loperamide, which is the active ingredient in Imodium. The reason that it can affect a drug test is that it is an opioid.
Does imodium show positive drug test?
Imodium is an opiod anti-diarrheal med, the active opiate is loperamide. It can certainly cause a positive result for opiates on a drug screen. However, with any drug screen, you should list all medications taken in the previous month. When a drug screen is positive, it is then sujected to a much more sophisticated test called a mass spectroscopy-gas chromatograpy test, or an immunoassay test, both of which identify the specific molecule, ie,they clearly identify the exact drug. These tests would not confuse loperamide with, say, heroin. It is like fingerprints- it gives an exact identification of the drug. If loperamide is specificallyfound in the drug test and you listed this med, the test would be reported as negative. Since loperamide is available over the counter (no Rx needed) in the U.S., and assuming there is not a large quantity in the drug test, is islikely that the test would be reported as negative anyway, but this is not a given.
What are anti-motility medications?
Anti-motility medications include loperamide (Imodium), dephenoxylate (Lomotil), or medications containing codeine or narcotics which decrease the ability of the intestine to contract.
Why does imodium anti-diarrheal medication work?
The key ingredient in Imodium is Loperamide. Loperamide works by decreasing peristalsis (movement of bowels) and thus allowing more time before one has to use the restroom and also allows the body to reduce the amount of water in the feced.
What is a stronger anti-diarrheal than DiphenOxylate?
I prefered Loperamide because this drug is better known as its over-the-counter name: Imodium, which is probably the best-known anti-diarrheal medicine among the general population.
Is loperamide a legal or illegal?
Loperamide is a legal medication that is commonly used to treat diarrhea. However, it can be abused for its opioid-like effects, which has led to restrictions on its sale in some locations to prevent misuse.

Is Wellbutrin or tramadol opiates?
Tramadol is a synthetic opiate, albeit a minor one. Wellbutrin isn't - it's an anti-depressant.
Will getting off tramadol cause diarrhea?
Everyone with-drawls a bit differently to Tramadol withdrawal because it depends on how much you're taking and also for low long, so I can only speak from personal experience. When I have with-drawled from Tramadol, I do get diarrhea. The best treatment for not only the diarrhea, but also to take a slight edge of the with-drawl is to take an anti-diarrhea medication that you can buy over-the-counter. Make sure though that the main ingredient in the anti-d's is Loperamide Hydrochloride. This will help the diarrhea, but also there are small amounts of opiates in Loperamide Hydrochloride, which is also in Tramadol. Just make sure notto take more of the anti-d's per day as it says on the box. There have been some studies that have shown people getting addicted to Anti-D's because some people take it to get the elated feeling that is in the Loperamide Hydrochloride, which often is a reason people get addicted to Tramadol in the first place (not saying that you're addicted, but that it happens to people) because it makes them feel happier or give them more energy, etc...much like the Tramadol does. Hope that helps you and I hope you feel better soon! Take care :)
