About Imodium

Imodium is used to treat sudden diarrhoea. It usually works by slowing down the rhythm of digestion, so the small intestines get more time to absorb all the fluid and nutrients from the foods you eat. It helps in decreasing the number of bowel movements and makes the stool a little bit solid. It is also helpful in treating continuous diarrhoea in people with inflammatory bowel disease.

How effective is Imodium?

Imodium is used to treat diarrhoea and helps in reducing the amount of stool in people who have an ileostomy. It shows effectiveness in treating Diarrhoea (Acute) and Diarrhoea (Chronic). It slows down the movement of the gut that decreases the bowel movements and makes the stool less watery.
