Overview
Imodium Oral Solution is an anti-diarrheal medicine used to treat the symptoms of moderate to acute diarrhea including traveler’s diarrhea. This medicine is also used to manage the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and Crohn’s disease.
Imodium Oral Solution works by slowing down the gut movement to allow more time for the absorption of fluids back into the body. This makes the stools firmer and reduces the number of times you have to go to the bathroom. This medicine is proven to treat the following symptoms:
-
Runny stools
-
Abdominal cramps
-
Bloating
-
Frequent bathroom visits
-
Pain
- Trapped wind
This mint flavored syrup is not only suitable for adults but also safe to use for children aged 4 and above.
