Loperamide "I had loose, almost diarrhea stools for almost three months after a trip to Florida. I began to seriously worry, so before going to a doctor, I took a dose (2 pills) of Imodium. I returned to normal in 2 days and have had no problem since. One dose fixed a 3-month long problem! Read the directions. It said to take a second dose after a second event of loose stools. I might have taken another dose that night after the first if I had read the instructions carefully. I suspect some of the reviewers who had stomach pains might have done that, because I had NO discomfort. Just an almost miraculous immediate return to normal movements. Thank you, makers!"

Loperamide "I just got back from Mexico 12/07/19 and would not have been able to board the plane if it were not for Imodium A-D. It absolutely saved my ass! I do not understand these complaints about packaging, though, it's quite simple, peel back paper cover and pop the thing through. The packaging matters very little to me considering I would still be in Mexico if it were not for this medication. THANK YOU!!! from the bottom of my bowels."

"My wife got traveler's diarrhea on a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. After a few trips to the WC, she took a first dose of 'Lomotil' brand name in Mexico for loperamide. That stopped the flow. Three days later, it was my turn. Since we already had the box of medicine, I only waited for a second WC trip (just to make sure the first was not just a one-off), took the first (two pill) dose and that stopped it. It works! It does not cure it. We both continued with watery stools after that, and I guess there is a difference between slowing down the gut and restoring its health."

Loperamide "Traveled to Ecuador and was happy that I had packed this. Solved my loose stool problem. Had to take it several times throughout the trip. Bought the capsules and only used them when necessary."
