Imodium Classic 2mg Capsules – Can Stop Diarrhoea Within One Hour – Anti Diarrhoea Capsules – 18 Capsules
Imodium Classic 2mg Capsules help restore your body’s natural rhythm, by providing effective relief from diarrhoea symptoms. The easy-to-swallow capsules use a trusted formula that has proven to provide diarrhoea relief for over 40 years.
The diarrhoea medicine contains loperamide hydrochloride which helps reduce diarrhoea by slowing down an overactive bowel, helping to return it to its normal rhythm. This lowers the number of times you’ll have to visit the bathroom and provides your body with the opportunity to consume the water and additives which are typically lost when you have diarrhoea. This helps to restore the absorption of fluids into your body to restore your natural balance.
Use Imodium Original to help stop diarrhoea within just one hour and restore your body’s harmony gently.
