Imodium Capsules
Imodium Capsules are a type of medication that is used to treat diarrhea. The active ingredient in Imodium Capsules is loperamide, which works by slowing down the movement of the gut, allowing the body to absorb more water and nutrients from the stools, and reducing the frequency of bowel movements.
Imodium Capsules are used to treat short-term episodes of diarrhea, such as those caused by viral infections or food poisoning. They are not intended to treat long-term or chronic diarrhea, or diarrhea caused by certain underlying medical conditions.
Imodium Capsules are available in packs of 18 capsules and are intended for oral use. They should be taken with water, and the dosage and duration of use will depend on the severity of diarrhea and the individual's age and medical history. It is important to follow the instructions provided by the healthcare professional or on the product packaging.
How to Use:
Read the label and packaging carefully to make sure you understand the instructions, dosage, and any warnings.
Take Imodium Capsules with water.
For adults and children over 12 years old, take 2 capsules initially, and then take 1 capsule after each loose bowel movement, up to a maximum of 8 capsules in 24 hours.
If symptoms persist for more than 48 hours, consult a healthcare professional.
Do not take Imodium Capsules for longer than 48 hours without consulting a healthcare professional.
If you miss a dose of Imodium Capsules, take the next dose as soon as possible, but do not take a double dose to make up for the missed dose.
Store Imodium Capsules in a cool, dry place, and keep them out of reach of children.
