A 19-year-old patient complains of diarrhea. As a part of complex therapy, the doctor prescribed the patient an antidiarrheal drug that stimulates opioid receptors in the intestine. What drug was prescribed for this patient?
- A. Furazolidone
- B. Loperamide
- C. Rehydron
- D. Omnopon (Papaveretum)
- E. Linex
Hint
Look for the antidiarrheal that acts on opioid receptors of the gut wall to slow motility but, unlike morphine-type analgesics, hardly enters the brain.
