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."

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!"
