***Restricted 2 Medicine***
Imodium slows the rhythm of digestion so that the small intestines have more time to absorb fluid and nutrients from the foods you eat.
Imodium is used to treat diarrhea. It is also used to reduce the amount of stool in people who have an ileostomy (re-routing of the bowel through a surgical opening in the stomach).
Important information about Imodium:
You should not use Imodium if you are allergic to loperamide, or if you have stools that are bloody, black, or tarry, or if you have diarrhea that is caused by taking an antibiotic.
Before taking Imodium, tell your doctor if you have a fever, mucus in your stools, a history of liver disease, or if you are taking an antibiotic.
Drink plenty of liquids while you are taking Imodium. It may take up to 48 hours of taking Imodium before your symptoms improve. Keep using the medication as directed and tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 10 days of treatment.
Imodium may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert.
