Popis: Loperamide is an antidiarrheal peripheral opiate agonist, with rare neurological secondary effects. We report the case of a 26-month-old child who had impaired consciousness under treatment by loperamide, and was treated successfully with naloxone. Limitations of the use of loperamide in young children are underlined. Naloxone may be used in case of impaired consciousness, for a diagnostic as well as therapeutic purpose.
