How long does Loperamide Hydrochloride and Simethicone stay in your body?

The elimination half-life of loperamide hydrochloride and simethicone is about 10.8 hours (range 9.1 to 14.4 hours) — the time it takes the body to clear about half of it. As a rule of thumb, a medicine is mostly gone after roughly 4 to 5 half-lives, though this varies from person to person with age and kidney or liver function. Per the FDA label, the apparent elimination half-life of loperamide is 10.8 hours (range 9.1–14.4 hours), so most of a dose clears in roughly 2–3 days. Loperamide is metabolized in the liver (mainly CYP2C8 and CYP3A4) via N-demethylation; the label does not characterize the N-demethyl metabolite's half-life, so no metabolite-specific clearance number is given. People with liver impairment clear it more slowly (reduced first-pass metabolism — use with caution); the label reports no pharmacokinetic data in kidney impairment, and no major disposition differences in elderly patients.

How much does Imodium Multi-Symptom Relief cost?
