Drug Uses
Imodium is used for treating and controlling diarrhea, including traveler's diarrhea, and decreasing the volume of discharge from an ileostomy (a surgical opening in the wall of the intestines). It can also be used for other situations as advised by your doctor.
How Taken
Use Imodium as suggested by your doctor. To avoid stomach upset take Imodium with a food intake. It is advised to drink extra fluids while you are taking Imodium and while you have diarrhea. Don't take for more than [[two|2] days unless suggested by a physician.
Additional Information
Imodium can cause drowsiness or dizziness. These effects may worsen if Imodium is taken with alcohol or certain other drugs. Take Imodium with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly dangerous tasks until you know how you respond to this drug. If your symptoms do not improve or if they worsen, visit your physician. This drug should be used only by the patient for whom it has been determined. Do not take less or more or take it more often than determined by your doctor.
