What are Imodium Capsules?

Imodium Classic Capsules is a treatment that can help ease two distinct kinds of diarrhoea. If you are suffering from brief-term diarrhoea or diarrhoea brought on by IBS, this medication can help reduce your symptoms and lessen the number of times you will need to visit the bathroom.

The capsules contain loperamide hydrochloride, a substance that helps reduce diarrhoea by slowing down an overactive bowel. This allows water and salts that are usually lost in diarrhoea to be absorbed by the body.

What causes diarrhoea?

The most frequent causes of short term diarrhoea are gut bugs and food poisoning, each of which will usually clear themselves up in seven days. But, you might even experience diarrhoea in case you've got long-term conditions such as food allergies or intolerance, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), or coeliac disease.

How can Loperamide 2mg cure my diarrhoea?

The 2mg of Loperamide in each Imodium Classic Capsule helps you to deal with diarrhoea by slowing your overactive gut. This lowers the number of times you'll have to visit the bathroom and provides your body with the opportunity to consume the water and additives which are typically lost when you have diarrhoea.

How to take Imodium Capsules

To begin your therapy, consume two Imodium Capsules with a drink of water, then take another capsule after each loose bowel movement. Don't take more than six capsules in any 24 hours. Don't forget to drink more fluids than usual to replace the fluid that your body loses when you've got diarrhoea.

How long to take Loperamide 2mg for?

If you're treating short term diarrhoea, then you shouldn't take Imodium Loperamide Capsules for over two days. If your diarrhoea lasts more than this, cease use and talk to your physician. If you're treating diarrhoea brought on by IBS, then you can take this medication for as much as two weeks at a time to deal with repeated attacks. But, you shouldn't take this product to take care of any attack that lasts more than two days. Speak with your health care provider if your diarrhoea lasts for over 48 hours or if your symptoms haven't improved after two weeks.
