Treating Diarrhoea with IMODIUM®
You can treat diagnosed IBS-related diarrhoea with IMODIUM® IBS Relief. IMODIUM® works in harmony with your body to help restore its natural pace, gently slowing digestion back down to a normal rhythm.
What does Imodium do?
IMODIUM contains the active ingredient Loperamide. This medication is used to treat sudden diarrhoea (including traveller’s diarrhoea). It works by slowing down the movement of the gut. This decreases the number of bowel movements and makes the stool less watery.
