Diarrhoea is the passing of loose or watery stools more regularly than normal. It usually happens when your bowels are unable to absorb fluid back into your body properly, causing excessive water to come out with your stool.
Certain factors, such as bacteria or viral infections, food intolerances or diet can interfere with the bowel movements in some people, causing symptoms such as diarrhoea, among other conditions.
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 the active ingredient loperamide hydrochloride. Loperamide is a type of medicine which works against certain receptors in the bowels in order to decrease the tone of the muscles in the intestinal wall.
This action works to slow down the movements of the bowel, allowing the body to absorb water and thicken your stools.
The effect 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 several episodes of diarrhoea. It is important to drink more fluids 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 over a period of time (chronic). For this reason, it is important to take the amount prescribed by your doctor.
Typical doses are:
Your diarrhoea symptoms should improve within two days after the first dose. If not, stop taking Imodium Syrup and contact your doctor.
If you forget to take Imodium Syrup, take the dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose of Imodium Syrup.
Do not take more Imodium Syrup to make up for a missed dose.
If you take too much Imodium Syrup, seek help at the hospital casualty department, especially if you feel like your heart is racing, you have slowed breathing, you lose consciousness or get dizzy.
