Akme Entoquol Tablet 20 is used to manage diarrhoea and loose stools associated with intestinal infections and digestive disturbances. It is a combination medicine that belongs to the class of antidiarrhoeal medicines.

This medicine is commonly prescribed to help reduce the frequency of loose stools, control urgency associated with diarrhoea, and improve bowel consistency. It may also help manage symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, intestinal irritation, and frequent bowel movements associated with acute diarrhoeal conditions.

Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Inform your doctor if you have liver disease, severe dehydration, fever, blood in your stools, constipation, or intestinal blockage before starting treatment. Continue taking the medicine for the prescribed duration and maintain adequate fluid intake during treatment to help prevent dehydration.

Akme Entoquol Tablet 20 is used to:

Help manage acute diarrhoea and loose stools
Reduce frequent bowel movements associated with digestive disturbances

Help reduce abdominal discomfort associated with diarrhoea

Follow these instructions while taking Akme Entoquol Tablet 20:

Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet unless advised otherwise.
Maintain adequate fluid intake during treatment.

Akme Entoquol Tablet 20 may cause side effects such as:

Constipation
Nausea
Abdominal discomfort
Dizziness
Dry mouth

Management Of Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally improve as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any symptoms, consult your doctor.

Here are a few tips that may help:

Constipation: Drink adequate fluids and include fibre-rich foods in your diet if advised by your doctor.
Dry mouth: Sipping water regularly may help relieve dryness in the mouth.

Akme Entoquol Tablet 20 contains the following ingredients:

Loperamide (2 mg): It works by slowing the movement of the intestines, allowing more time for water and electrolytes to be absorbed from the bowel. This helps reduce the frequency of loose stools and bowel urgency.
Betacyclodextrin (10 mg): It may help support intestinal balance and improve stool consistency during diarrhoeal conditions.

Pregnancy

Akme Entoquol Tablet 20 should be used during pregnancy only if advised by your doctor. Limited information is available regarding the safety of this combination during pregnancy.

Breastfeeding

Consult your doctor before taking Akme Entoquol Tablet 20 while breastfeeding. Small amounts of loperamide may pass into breast milk.

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol while taking this medicine, as it may worsen dizziness or drowsiness in some individuals.

Liver

Inform your doctor if you have liver disease before taking Akme Entoquol Tablet 20. Loperamide may accumulate in the body in patients with severe liver impairment and may increase the risk of side effects.

Kidney

Consult your doctor before taking Akme Entoquol Tablet 20 if you have severe kidney impairment.

Use In Driving And Operating Machinery

Akme Entoquol Tablet 20 may cause dizziness or drowsiness in some individuals. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel unwell after taking this medicine.

Allergy

Do not take Akme Entoquol Tablet 20 if you are allergic to betacyclodextrin, loperamide, or any ingredients of this medicine. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop rash, swelling, itching, or breathing difficulty.

Children

Akme Entoquol Tablet 20 should be used in children only if prescribed by a doctor. Antidiarrhoeal medicines should be used cautiously in paediatric patients.

Older Patients

Older adults may be more sensitive to dehydration, constipation, and dizziness associated with diarrhoeal conditions and treatment. Medical supervision may be required during treatment.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Akme Entoquol Tablet 20 may interact with the following medicines:

Antihypertensive medicines (e.g., atenolol, amlodipine): Severe diarrhoea may affect fluid balance in patients taking antihypertensive medicines. Your doctor may monitor blood pressure and hydration status during treatment.
Antidiabetic medicines (e.g., insulin, metformin): Diarrhoea and reduced food intake may affect blood sugar control in patients taking antidiabetic medicines. Your doctor may advise regular blood glucose monitoring if needed.
Antitubercular medicines (e.g., rifampicin, isoniazid): Some antitubercular medicines may worsen diarrhoea or gastrointestinal irritation when taken together. Your doctor may monitor digestive symptoms during treatment.
Antiepileptic medicines (e.g., phenytoin, carbamazepine): Severe diarrhoea may affect the absorption of some antiepileptic medicines, potentially reducing their effectiveness. Your doctor may monitor treatment response if required.
Antibiotic medicines (e.g., clarithromycin, erythromycin): Taking these medicines together with loperamide may increase the risk of heart rhythm-related side effects in some individuals. Your doctor may monitor treatment if needed.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Akme Entoquol Tablet 20 should be used with caution if you have:

Intestinal blockage or severe constipation: Taking this medicine may worsen bowel obstruction or constipation in patients with existing intestinal problems. Your doctor may advise avoiding this medicine in such conditions.
Bacterial intestinal infections: Loperamide-containing medicines may worsen certain infectious diarrhoeal conditions by slowing bowel movement. Your doctor may advise alternative treatment depending on the cause of diarrhoea.
Ulcerative colitis or inflammatory bowel disease: This medicine may increase the risk of severe bowel complications in some individuals with inflammatory bowel conditions. Your doctor may monitor symptoms carefully during treatment.
Severe dehydration: Diarrhoea may already cause fluid and electrolyte loss, and patients with dehydration may require fluid replacement and close monitoring during treatment.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Akme Entoquol Tablet 20 should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage may vary depending on the severity of diarrhoea, response to treatment, and overall health condition. Do not exceed the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

Taking more than the prescribed amount of Akme Entoquol Tablet 20 may increase the risk of severe constipation, abdominal swelling, dizziness, drowsiness, breathing difficulty, or irregular heartbeat. Seek immediate medical attention if overdose is suspected.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of Akme Entoquol Tablet 20, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses together to compensate for the missed dose.

Store Akme Entoquol Tablet 20 below 30°C.
Keep the medicine in a dry place away from moisture and heat.
Protect from direct sunlight.
Keep out of reach of children.
Do not use after the expiry date mentioned on the pack.

Drink adequate fluids such as water, ORS, soups, and clear liquids to help prevent dehydration associated with diarrhoea.
Consume light and easily digestible foods such as rice, bananas, toast, curd, and boiled potatoes until bowel movements improve.
Avoid spicy, oily, very sugary, or heavy meals, as these may worsen intestinal irritation and loose stools.
Maintain proper hand hygiene and safe food practices to help reduce the risk of intestinal infections and recurrent diarrhoeal illness.
Avoid consuming contaminated water or unhygienic street food during recovery from gastrointestinal infections.
