Thank you for asking on HCM
Sestil AD (Loperamide) is an antidiarrheal agent. It works by slowing the movement of bowel contents, so in your case there may be a transient slowing movement of bowel contents, but its effect lasts for 4hours. I don't see anything to worry about. Just dicontinue use of Sestil AD if not prescribed or unnecessary.
Kindly rate my answer as helpful.
