Imodium Capsules can stop diarrhoea with one dose, quickly and effectively. Imodium can be used to treat episodes of diarrhoea associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). It can also be used to treat sudden short-lived (acute) attacks of diarrhoea in adults and children over 12 years old.
How does Imodium work?
When something upsets the natural balance of nutrients and water absorption in your intestines, your digestive system starts to work too fast. This leads to the frequent passing of loose, watery stools, known as diarrhoea. Contrary to popular belief, Imodium doesn't work by stopping your bowel movements. Instead, it contains an active ingredient called 'loperamide', which works by calming your digestive system down. This helps your digestive system get back to normal, leading to firmer stools. By restoring this delicate balance, you can feel better sooner and have the confidence to get on with your day.
How to take Imodium Capsules:
Adults and children over 12 years of age should take 2 capsules initially, followed if required, by 1 capsule after every further loose bowel movement, up to a maximum of 8 capsules per day.
If your diarrhoea lasts for more than 24 hours, consult your doctor.
Diarrhoea associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS):
If your doctor has diagnosed you with IBS, take 2 capsules to control an episode of diarrhoea.
Further episodes may be controlled by taking 1 or 2 capsules according to severity, up to a maximum of 8 capsules per day.
If your symptoms change or your acute symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks, consult your doctor.
Each Imodium Capsule contains:
2mg Loperamide Hydrochloride and Lactose
Possible side effects when taking Imodium Capsules:
Side effects with Imodium are rare but should you experience any side effects report to your doctor or pharmacist.

Imodium Capsules is a really tried and trusted product, whenever I get an unexpected episode Imodium usually works first time almost every time, I bought this size as I'm always relying on someone else to have a packet if I run low on supplies. All the family uses Imodium and a packet is always a relief to find when caught short. Buy some you wont be dissappointed. ..
