Reviews/Feedback:
Imodium: After the first attack I take two pills of Imodium, then uno more pills per subsequent attack, with a maximum of 8 pills per day. If no more attacks happen in the next eight hours after the last diarrhoea episode, there is no need to take more pills
Imodium: What is the decomposition rate for imodium?
In storage?
Imodium: I use the chewable tablets whenever I am not going to be near a bathroom. Start taking 2 tablets about 1 hour before leaving home and every 3 1/2 hours thereafter. Eat very lightly or not at all and this seems to do the trick. Rarely do I have an "episode" while traveling.
Imodium: I was pleased to read reviews of Imodium because I have been taking it more and more and was afraid I was taking it too much. But now that I see other people doing the same, I'm not as concerned.
Imodium: Had severe intestinal irritation afer eating a meal out with Southwestern sausages. Went to emergency room. Was administered Iomodium orally in emergency room and took it later on my own.
Imodium: I take this to relieve my I.B.S. It works well enough.
Imodium: only partial benefit
Imodium: Treating my IBS with imoduim is not chemically hard on me as other stronger ant-diahhreal medications. It doesnt cure it but helps about half the time I have problems. I am very anxious because it still effects my social life and anxiety and depression sets in. I am taking a small dose of Xanax each day I may need to increase the dosage (.25mg) 3 x a day. plus I take lexapro a small dose of 1/2 everyother day because it effects my sex life. this is about mostly all I know to share with you. Also I had 3 fistulas surgeries and they cause me to not able to hold my BM when I have freguent bouel movement. I have a very extreme weak spinster around my anus.
Imodium: Undiagnosed IBS, I take 4 (max rec dosage)per day with my morning thyroid med and I am now a normal functioning person, able to eat while out. Dr's told me I am lactose intolerant and eat more fiber, HA, makes it worse! So I take 4 per day and I haven't had any diarrhea!
Imodium: works great for the IBS, I take one or two every other day. I don't get bloated or constipated.
