After teaching a group of students about irritable bowel syndrome and antidiarrheal agents, the instructor determines that the teaching was effective when the students identify which of the following as an example of an opiate-related antidiarrheal agent?A)Loperamide (Imodium)B)Bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol)C)Kaolin and pectin (Kaopectate)D)Bisacodyl (Dulcolax)Ans:a

The answer is A. Loperamide

Explanation:

Antidiarrheals are drugs which are given to treat acute diarrhea by providing symptomatic relief for diarrhea but do not eliminate the cause of the diarrhea.The most common drug used is Loperamide (Imodium) which is an opioid receptor agonist. Loperamide decreases the flow of fluids and electrolytes in the bowel and reduces bowel movement by acting on the mu opioid receptors in the myenteric plexus of the large intestine. However, when taken in large quantities it gives high euphoria similar to opioids.
