Imodium is a brand of loperamide, an over-the-counter medication used to treat diarrhea. It is a member of the gastrointestinal drugs class, which includes medications used to treat conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis. Imodium works by slowing down the movement of the intestines, allowing the body to absorb more water and electrolytes. This helps to reduce the frequency and severity of diarrhea. Imodium is available in both capsule and liquid form, and is often used in combination with other medications to treat more severe cases of diarrhea. Imodium is a popular choice for treating diarrhea due to its effectiveness and availability without a prescription. It is also relatively inexpensive compared to other gastrointestinal drugs. Imodium is widely available in pharmacies, supermarkets, and online retailers. Some companies in the Imodium market include Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline, and Pfizer. Show Less Read more
