Frequently asked questions about imodium tablet
What is imodium used to treat?
Loperamide is used to control and relieve the symptoms of acute diarrhea. It is also used to treat chronic diarrhea in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Loperamide helps stop diarrhea by slowing down the movements of the intestines.
How many imodium can I take?
Imodium dosage for adults and teenagers is 4 mg (2 tablets) after the first loose bowel movement, and 2 mg (1 tablet) after each loose bowel movement after the first dose has been taken. No more than 8 mg (4 tablets) should be taken in any 24-hour period.
What not to take with imodium?
Avoid drinking tonic water. It can interact with loperamide and may cause serious heart problems. Avoid becoming dehydrated by drinking plenty of fluids.
Does Imodium stop diarrhea immediately?
Take imodium straight after your first bout – it can relieve diarrhea in just one hour so your body can start to recover sooner. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and/or taking a rehydration treatment.
Can I take Imodium on an empty stomach?
Take on an empty stomach. Take 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals. Drink lots of noncaffeine liquids unless told to drink less liquid by your doctor. Do not take Imodium Multi-Symptom Relief (loperamide and simethicone) for longer than you were told by your doctor.
Do you have to wait 2 hours after eating to take Imodium?
It is best to take Loperamide half an hour before a meal. This will help to slow down the gut activity that is stimulated by eating. Most people find that the bowel is most active in the morning and so Imodium will help if taken after breakfast.
Does imodium stop U pooing?
Loperamide works by slowing down the passage of food through the gut. Your body can then draw in more water from your intestines, making the poo thicker and firmer. This makes it easier to hold on when you have the urge to pass a poo.
