Diarrhoea is the passing of loose or watery stools more regularly than normal. It is usually caused by excessive water in the faeces.
When partially digested food passes slowly through the large intestines, bacteria extract nutrients and water to be used throughout the body. Once the waste reaches the rectum, the stools should be dry and compact.
However, certain factors, such as infections, intolerances and diet can interfere with the functions of the large intestines and the bacteria. After eating a large meal, contractions may happen more quickly and the bacteria cannot keep up, resulting in an increase of water in stools. In other cases, infections can prevent the bacteria from effectively doing their job.
In both of these examples, an excess of water is left in the faecal matter, resulting in diarrhoea.
Diarrhoea causes the body to lose fluids which can result in dehydration. Symptoms of dehydration can include:
Treating diarrhoea can greatly reduce the risk of experiencing dehydration.
Imodium Syrup contains 1 mg of loperamide hydrochloride in a 5 ml solution. Loperamide is an agonist which works against certain receptors in the small intestine in order to decrease the tone of the muscles in the intestinal wall and to suppress the gastrocolic reflex. That action slows down the overactivity of the bowel reducing diarrhoea symptoms.
The effects of Imodium Syrup should last between 8 and 12 hours. If taken in the morning, Imodium Syrup should provide all-day relief from diarrhoea.
Imodium Syrup only treats the diarrhoea symptoms and does not replenish the body with water or salts, which are typically lost during bouts of diarrhoea. It is important to drink more than normal when treating diarrhoea with loperamide.
Follow your physician's instructions carefully when you take Imodium Syrup SF. Imodium Syrup SF comes with a measuring cup with a 5 ml line. Set the measuring cup on a stable surface with the arrow pointing upward.
Pour the designated amount of solution into the cup, stopping when the fluid reaches the appropriate measuring line. For example, if your doctor says to take a 5 ml dose, stop pouring when the fluid line reaches the 5 ml mark on the cup.
The amount you take is related to whether the diarrhoea attack is sudden (acute) or it comes and goes (chronic). For this reason, it is important to take the amount prescribed by your physician.
Typical doses are:
