Description

Imodium Plus 2mg Caplets, 12 Caplets

Imodium Plus 2mg caplets are designed to treat the symptomatic treatment of acute diarrhoea & symptoms associated with abdominal discomfort including bloating, cramping or flatulence.

Imodium Plus new name is Imodium Dual Action Relief

Imodium Plus Comfort works by restoring your bowel to its normal rhythm. This helps to restore the absorption of fluids into your body. It also helps to soothe the discomfort of painful cramps.

IMODIUM® Plus Comfort tablets work to quickly relieve diarrhoea within 1 hour, while also soothing painful cramps, uncomfortable bloating and embarrassing wind.

Used to treat short-lived bouts of diarrhoea, the tablets contain an additional ingredient called Simeticone, which helps ease excess gas in the gut and relieve painful accompanying symptoms.

If you’re struck by a bout of diarrhoea, often you may find you are suffering from other symptoms alongside it. Imodium Plus caplets have a dual-action formula that helps to effectively relieve both the diarrhoea itself and the associated bloating, cramps and wind, providing complete relief from the discomfort of a stomach upset.

How it works

Imodium Plus 2mg caplets contains 2 active ingredients, loperamide hydrochloride and simethicone. Both these ingredients work together to slow the muscular contractions of the intestine and reduce the speed of the contents being pushed through the intestine, allowing for more water to be reabsorbed back into the body. Resulting in firmer stools that are passed less frequently.

What is diarrhoea and why do I get it?

Diarrhoea are common in adults, children and babies. They’re often caused by a stomach bug. They can be really uncomfortable and unpleasant, but fortunately, it isn’t usually something to worry about and, more often than not, it goes away in a few days. Some of the possible causes of diarrhoea include:

  • A food intolerance

  • A food allergy

  • Food poisoning

  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

  • A viral infection, such as norovirus.

  • A bacterial infection, such as E.coli

  • A reaction to a medication

  • A bowel or intestinal disease

  • Coeliac disease

Importance Rehydration therapy when you have Diarrhoea

Your body can lose large amounts of fluids and salts when you have diarrhoea. You need to replace the fluid by drinking more liquid than usual. Ask your pharmacist about rehydration therapy to replace lost salts. This is especially important for children and frail or older people

Product Details

Before taking this medicine

If you are in any doubt, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Do not take this medicine…
■ In children less than 12 years old.

■ If you are constipated or your stomach appears swollen.
If any of these apply to you, get advice from a doctor or pharmacist without taking IMODIUM
® Dual Action

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist…

replace the fluid by drinking more liquid than usual. Ask your pharmacist about special powders which
replace the sugars and salts.
■ If you have AIDS and your stomach becomes swollen, stop taking the tablets immediately and contact
your doctor.
■ If you have liver disease. Check with your doctor before using the tablets. Some of the side-effects might be
more troublesome.
■ IMODIUM
® Dual Action Relief Tablets only treat the symptoms of diarrhoea. In some cases, the cause of
your diarrhoea may require treatment, if symptoms persist or worsen, please contact your doctor.
Taking other medicines
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any other medicines including:

Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including

® Dual Action Relief Tablets may interact with
them.
If any of these bullet points apply to you now or in the past, talk to a doctor or pharmacist.
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding
■ Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine if you are pregnant, think you are
pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
■ This medicine is not recommended if you are breast-feeding as small amounts of the medicine may get into
your milk. Talk to your doctor about a suitable treatment.
Special warnings about this medicine
■ This medicine may make you feel dizzy, tired or sleepy. If affected do not drive or operate machinery.
■ Do not take this product for anything other than its intended use (see section 1) and never take more than
