Used to treat gastrointestinal motility disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It helps regulate intestinal movement by acting on opioid receptors in the gut, reducing both diarrhea and constipation. Commonly prescribed for abdominal pain, bloating, and irregular bowel habits. Works by normalizing muscle contractions in the digestive tract, improving overall gut function. Often used in adults and children for symptomatic relief of functional gastrointestinal disorders.
