Imodium 2 mg capsules are a medicine for diarrhoea and contain the active substance loperamide hydrochloride. It is used for the symptomatic treatment of acute diarrhoea in adolescents from the age of 12 and adults.

Treatment with loperamide hydrochloride beyond 2 days may only be carried out under medical prescription and observation of the course of treatment. If you do not feel better or even worse after 2 days, consult your doctor.

Imodium is an anti-diarrhoeal agent.

It is used to treat short-lasting (acute) diarrhoea that cannot be controlled with other measures (diet, replacement of water and salts) and for which the administration of antibiotics is not indicated.

IMODIUM® 2 mg capsules are used to treat acute diarrhoea. The stool becomes firmer again. This counteracts unnecessary weakening of the body due to excessive loss of fluids and electrolytes.
