Loperamide is an over-the-counter medication primarily used to treat diarrhea. While it is an opioid, it does not produce a typical opioid high because it does not effectively cross the blood-brain barrier at standard doses. At very high doses, however, some individuals may experience euphoric effects, but this poses significant health risks, including serious cardiac issues. It's important to use loperamide as directed to avoid potential dangers.
