Imodium is an over-the-counter medication that is available to treat diarrhoea. The medication works by decreasing the motility of the guts and, therefore, slowing down the bowels. This, in turn, reduces stool frequency and can help with symptoms such as loose stools. Unless you have prolonged or chronic symptoms (such as longer than five to seven days of diarrhoea) or if you have underlying health problems, Imodium is a medication that is well tolerated. Of course, if you have concerns, consult your primary care provider..

FAQs
How does Imodium work?

Can you take Imodium when pregnant?

Imodium for kids?
If your child has diarrhoea, you should consult a paediatrician before using any kind of Imodium, as you need to make sure it is the right dosage for your child and think about any safety issues that might arise. By consulting a doctor, who can tell you whether or not to use Imodium safely for your child, you can make sure that the medicine is administered appropriately.
Will Imodium help upset stomach?
In cases of an upset stomach, Imodium works by slowing the movements of the digestive system, slowing down the passage of the faeces through the bowel, and, as a result, preventing the water from being extracted and slowing down the diarrhoea itself. However, before taking Imodium, you should always consult your doctor, as some people should not take it at all for various underlying health issues.
Is it harmful to take Imodium every day?
Taking imodium daily has its risks. Overuse can cause constipation as well as stomach bloating and cramps. Longer-term use can mask other health issues you really ought to see a doctor about. If you have been using Imodium every day for a long time now, consult a doctor as soon as you can.
Does Imodium help with cramps?
Imodium is typically not used for the treatment of cramp, which is a term associated with involuntary contractions of the abdominal and pelvic muscles. The main use of Imodium is for the treatment of diarrhoea, which is associated with an increase in the rate of bowel movements and transit of bowel contents. You should consult with a registered health professional for the correct treatment of cramps.
