It seems you're experiencing chronic constipation and using Eldoper (Loperamide) to manage symptoms. _Eldoper's Impact on the Liver_ Loperamide is generally considered safe, but long-term use can cause: 1.

Discuss alternative treatments, such as: - Fiber supplements - Laxatives (e.g., Psyllium, Bisacodyl) - Probiotics - Bowel habit modification 3.
