Imodium Reviews

Show: for
Don't know.
Only take when going shopping. Gives me gas.
Only one tablet and only in extreme cases because I will get SERIOUS constipation
For the most part two of these work great on diarrhea and stop it quickly
Imodium works but its a short-term fix. Medication like this should not be taken for long periods of time.
Helps when you need to be somewhere other then the bathroom!
Never leave home without it.
hit or miss whether it works, when it does, I have to take a higher dose.
works but can create constipation
