Imodium®
Relief within 1 hour from the UK's No.1 Diarrhoea Relief Brand1
Imodium® has been delivering effective diarrhoea relief for over 50 years. So, it’s no wonder 85% of patients prefer Imodium® over other diarrhoea relief brands2.
Diarrhoea is a disruption of the digestive system caused by an imbalance of the physiological processes of the small and large intestine. This can result in loose or watery stools due to an increase in water content, and people can often experience abdominal pain, cramps and bloating too.
With Imodium®, your patients can get effective diarrhoea relief in just one hour. The active ingredient loperamide works in harmony with the body to help restore its natural rhythm and reduce water loss through diarrhoea.

How does Imodium® work?
Loperamide is the key active ingredient in all Imodium® products. It acts directly on the opioid receptors on the intestinal wall, reducing peristalsis. This increases the transit time in the intestine, aiding the absorption of water and essential nutrients – leading to a normal stool consistency and frequency!
Imodium® Dual Action also contains an additional active ingredient, Simeticone. This helps reduce gas bubbles in the gut and alleviates other uncomfortable symptoms of diarrhoea, such as bloating, cramps and wind. And with people experiencing at least one of these additional symptoms on 62% of diarrhoea occasions in the UK, the Dual Active formula can be a beneficial option for many.
