Loperamide oxide (LOPOX) is a prodrug of loperamide (LOP). The reduction of LOPOX to LOP was investigated to provide a pharmacokinetic basis for the pharmacodynamics and improved side effect profile of the prodrug. Reduction of LOPOX was studied in vitro

Loperamide oxide is a prodrug of the effective antidiarrheal loperamide. Administration of this prodrug improves efficacy and tolerability. For better understanding of these effects, the absorption and gastrointestinal distribution of loperamide oxide and of its active drug loperamide were studied.
