Imodium is an over-the-counter medication useful against digestive illnesses such as symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and severe diarrhoea. It has loperamide as its active ingredient and promises an bowel and stomach relief. It is also effective against conditions like ulcerative colitis, fungal infections of the digestive tract, gut-associated allergic reactions, acute dysentery, respiratory depression, toxic megacolon, and abdominal distension.
This medication works by slowing bowel movements. It reduces the incidence of diarrhea by increasing water absorption from the intestines and improving intestinal motility. Visit us to buy various Imodium products in case of similar digestive issues.

FAQs
Is it safe to use loperamide during breastfeeding?
Yes, it is okay to do so. Only a fraction of this drug passes into milk, and the baby is not likely to be harmed. Loperamide increases the tone of the anal sphincter and treats short-term diarrhoea to ensure stomach & bowel relief. It prevents dehydration in breast-feeding women.
Is Imodium effective against symptoms of Irritable bowel syndrome?
Imodium is the drug of choice to treat occasional diarrhea. It slows down the overactive bowel and thus lowers the number of bowel movements.
Who should avoid the use of loperamide for diarrhea?
People who are allergic to loperamide and its associated drugs should not use it. People with severe diarrhea should also consult with a doctor.
Can loperamide hydrochloride cross the blood-brain barrier?
No, it can't cross the blood-brain barrier at therapeutic doses. It can't even do so at high doses.
