Medication information
OTC
Loperamide
Anti-diarrheal — Imodium
Loperamide (Imodium) slows the gut to control diarrhea. It is appropriate for traveler's diarrhea, IBS-D, and short-term acute diarrhea — but not for fever-and-bloody-stool illness, which needs medical attention.
How the pharmacy helps
We stock 2 mg caplets. The pharmacist will check that diarrhea is appropriate to slow before suggesting a course.

Imodium Loperamide | 2mg | Caplet | Active |
Avoid in bloody diarrhea, high fever, or severe abdominal pain — the underlying infection needs to clear, not be slowed.
Stay within the package directions. Very high doses can cause heart rhythm problems.
Talk to a pharmacist or prescriber for children — different products and doses.
