The opposite of a laxative would be an anti-diarrheal medication. Anti-diarrheal medications work by slowing down the movement of the digestive system to allow for more water absorption and firmer stools. Examples of anti-diarrheal medications include loperamide (Imodium) and bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol).
