Imodium-Diarrhoea-Relief-Capsules-12

Imodium is used to treat sudden short-lived attacks of diarrhoea in adults and children over 12 years old. It works by making the stools more solid and less frequent. Imodium can also be used to treat episodes of diarrhoea associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome after your doctor has diagnosed the condition. Always inform your pharmacist if you are pregnant, think you might be pregnant or are trying to become pregnant. He/she will probably suggest you speak to your doctor first. Do not use Imodium capsules: In children under the age of 12 years, if your doctor has told you that you have a condition where slowing of the stomach or intestine should be avoided (e.g. Constipation: Bloated Tummy: Inflammation of the bowel) .Imodium should not be used on its own in acute dysentery, the symptoms of which may include blood in your stools and a high temperature. Patients aged under 12 years should not receive Imodium Capsules unless prescribed by a doctor If in doubt about any of the above, ask your doctor or pharmacist If you suffer from liver disease, tell your doctor before using Imodium. You may need to be more closely supervised during treatment and the dosage may have to be altered. Imodium only treats the symptoms of diarrhoea. When you have diarrhoea, your body loses large amounts of fluid and salts. You should therefore replace this lost fluid by taking more liquids than you normally would. If your diarrhoea lasts for more than 24 hours, see your doctor If you are taking Imodium to control episodes of diarrhoea associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome diagnosed by your doctor, you should return to him/her if the pattern of your symptoms changes. Always tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure about taking any other medicines as you should not take any other antidiarrhoeal preparations whilst taking Imodium (except for oral rehydration therapy).
