Loperamide for Diarrhea, Acute "I presumably caught the stomach bug going around my workplace and had severe diarrhea all day with stomach cramps, which started as soon as I woke up one morning. About 5:30 p.m. I took an Imodium after a rough day, and it stopped the diarrhea completely. I was very pleased and shocked at how well it worked after just 2 tablets. Hopefully, it wouldn't have lasted much longer anyway! Haha!"

Loperamide for Diarrhea "Loperamide is very helpful for diarrhea within 4 (or fewer) caplets. It helps with the stomach cramping too. It was also helpful for when I had the stomach flu."

For Diarrhea, Chronic "I have IBS (both D & C). Lately, mostly D. I've tried a few different medications, and they wind up causing the constipation. Tonight, I started Loperamide 2 mg capsules (prescription strength). I took the 2 that you're supposed to take for the first dose. So far, it's been about 3 hours, and I'm okay, I think. I have a little stomach ache, but not like cramping. Hopefully, that's it for the D, and this medication will be good for me."
