Concurrent administration of P-glycoprotein inhibitors such as quinidine potentially allows loperamide to cross the blood–brain barrier and produce central [[morphine]]-like effects. Loperamide taken with quinidine was found to produce respiratory depression, indicative of central [[opioid]] action.<ref>Increased drug delivery to the brain by P-glycoprotein inhibition.

Loperamide is metabolized by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) system and is a substrate for the CYP3A4 isoenzyme. Concurrent administration with CYP3A4 inhibitors may elevate loperamide concentrations.<ref>Loperamide: a pharmacological review.
