loperamide and Pruritus

loperamide has been researched along with Pruritus in 3 studies

Loperamide: One of the long-acting synthetic ANTIDIARRHEALS; it is not significantly absorbed from the gut, and has no effect on the adrenergic system or central nervous system, but may antagonize histamine and interfere with acetylcholine release locally.
loperamide : A synthetic piperidine derivative, effective against diarrhoea resulting from gastroenteritis or inflammatory bowel disease.

Pruritus: An intense itching sensation that produces the urge to rub or scratch the skin to obtain relief.
