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.
