Features & benefits
How to use
Adults (12 years and older): Take 30 mL oral solution (4 mg) initially and 15 mL oral solution every time you have a loose bowel movement, to a maximum of 120 mL oral solution (16 mg) per day. Stop use if you have a solid or hard stool or if you go for 24 hours without a bowel movement. PROPER USE OF THIS MEDICATION : IMODIUM® should be taken by the mouth. You can take IMODIUM® any time of day. The dose for the Calming Liquid should be administered with the attached measuring cup only. When you have diarrhea: • You will lose a lot of fluids. Therefore, drink plenty of clear fluids, water, unsweetened juices, or clear soups. • Do not drink alcohol or milk and avoid fruit, green vegetables, and spicy or fatty foods. These items tend to aggravate diarrhea.
Warnings
You should not use IMODIUM® if you have any of the following conditions: • If you are constipated or your abdomen is swollen or have abdominal pain; • If you have a bacterial infection in your digestive system, or suspect food poisoning due to bacterial contamination; • If you have an inflammation of the lower bowel; • If you are taking prescription drugs that may cause constipation, such as anti-psychotic and anti-depressant medications; • If you know you are sensitive to one of the ingredients or to any other component of this formulation (see ingredients); • If in doubt, ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice. Before you use IMODIUM® talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you: • Are pregnant or nursing a baby. IMODIUM® is not recommended for nursing mothers, because small amounts of loperamide can end up in your milk; • Have meningitis or liver disease, as you may need medical supervision while taking IMODIUM®. STOP USE and see your doctor or pharmacist if: • Diarrhea gets worse, lasts longer than 48 hours, or you get any unusual symptoms; • You are infected with HIV and you have any signs of abdominal swelling or bulging. Although IMODIUM® stops diarrhea, it will not treat the cause of it. Whenever possible, the cause of diarrhea should also be treated. Tiredness, dizziness, or drowsiness may occur in the setting of diarrheal symptoms treated with loperamide. Therefore, it is advisable to use caution when driving a car or operating machinery. INTERACTIONS WITH THIS MEDICATION Always tell your doctor or pharmacist: • If you are using other drugs, including herbal medicines, because some drugs should not be taken together. • If you are taking drugs that slow down the action of the stomach and intestines (for example, some antidepressants and cold and allergy medication), because these can make the effect of IMODIUM® too strong. • If you are taking sedating medications. In particular, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of the following: • Ritonavir (used to treat HIV) • Quinidine (used to treat abnormal heart rhythms) • Oral desmopressin (used to treat excessive urination) • Itraconazole or ketoconazole (used to treat fungal infections) • Gemfibrozil (used to lower cholesterol) Store at room temperature (15-30° C), protected from light. Keep out of reach of children. In case of drug overdose, contact a health care practitioner, hospital emergency department, or regional Poison Control Centre immediately, even if there are no symptoms.
