FAQs
How do I take Imodium Instants?
Place one tablet on your tongue. It will dissolve on its own. You do not need water. Swallow as the tablet dissolves.
What is the maximum daily dose?
For adults, the usual starting dose is two tablets, followed by one tablet after each loose bowel movement. Do not exceed four tablets in 24 hours unless directed by a doctor.
Can children use Imodium Instants?
No, this product is intended for adults only. For children, consult a doctor or pharmacist for an appropriate alternative.
How long does it take for Imodium Instants to work?

What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, provided it is before the next scheduled dose. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
Can I take Imodium Instants with other medications?
It is advisable to consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Imodium Instants with other medications, especially if you are taking any prescription drugs, as interactions may occur.

The active ingredient is Loperamide hydrochloride. Please refer to the product packaging for a full list of inactive ingredients.
Troubleshooting
Tablets do not dissolve quickly
Ensure the tablet is placed on the tongue where it will dissolve. If experiencing a very dry mouth, a small sip of water might aid dissolution, though it's designed to be water-free.
Diarrhea symptoms persist after use
If symptoms do not improve within 48 hours, or if they worsen, stop using the product and consult a healthcare professional immediately.
Accidental overdose
If more than the recommended dose is taken, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms of overdose can include severe constipation or abdominal pain.
