FAQ: How does Imodium work?
Imodium's loperamide acts on opioid receptors in the gut wall, slowing intestinal contractions and reducing fluid secretion into the bowel. This reduces the frequency and urgency of diarrhoeal stools and firms stool consistency. Loperamide does not cross into the brain at normal doses so has no narcotic effects - it works purely in the gut.
FAQ: When should I NOT use Imodium?
Do not use Imodium if you have bloody diarrhoea, high fever, or suspect a bacterial infection (salmonella, campylobacter). In these cases, slowing the bowel can prolong infection. If symptoms persist beyond 48 hours or worsen, seek medical attention. Not for children under 12 without medical advice.
FAQ: Can I take Imodium for traveller's diarrhoea?
Yes - Imodium is widely used for traveller's diarrhoea to allow continued activities. However, avoid use if there is blood in the stool or high fever as these may indicate a bacterial cause where loperamide could be harmful. Ask our pharmacist about comprehensive traveller's health preparation.
