Diarrhoea can suddenly take over your day completely, leaving you feeling lethargic and forcing you to stop your planned activities. The uncertainty and discomfort of frequent toilet visits cause a lot of stress and disrupt your natural balance. Imodium 2 mg capsules support your bowel system by calming excessive bowel movements, so you can quickly regain control of your day and restore your vitality.

• Works targeted in the bowels to often stop diarrhoea within a few hours.
• Helps to normalise natural bowel movements without completely stopping digestion.
• Suitable for both sudden acute complaints and long-term chronic diarrhoea in adults.
• Easy-to-take capsules that work exactly where needed.

How it works

Imodium contains loperamide hydrochloride, a substance that reduces the increased activity of the bowel wall. This keeps the stool in the bowel longer, allowing the body to absorb more water and salts. This process ensures that the stool becomes firmer again and the urge decreases. The agent works locally in the bowel and is hardly absorbed into the rest of the body.
