What Do Imodium Plus Tablets Do?

The tablets are used to treat short-lived attacks of diarrhoea when it occurs with stomach cramps, bloating and wind.

The tablets contain two active ingredients:

• Loperamide hydrochloride, which helps reduce diarrhoea by slowing down an overactive bowel. This helps the body to absorb more water and salts from the bowel.
• Simeticone, which breaks up the gas bubbles in the bowel that causes cramps and bloating.

Dosage

Swallow the correct number of tablets whole with a drink of water.

Adults over 18 years:

• Take 2 tablets initially, followed if required, by 1 tablet after each loose bowel movement.
• Young adults aged 12 to 18 years: Take 1 tablet initially, followed if required, by 1 tablet after each loose bowel movement.
• Not more than 4 tablets should be taken per day, for a maximum of 2 days. If your diarrhoea lasts for more than 48hours, consult your doctor.
