FeverBacterialNausea
Imodium Capsule contains Loperamide 2mg, an antidiarrheal agent used to manage acute and chronic diarrhea. Loperamide acts on the opioid receptors in the intestinal wall, reducing gastrointestinal motility and increasing the absorption of electrolytes and water, thereby decreasing stool frequency and improving stool consistency. It is indicated for symptomatic relief of diarrhea associated with conditions such as infectious diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease, as well as for the control of chronic diarrhea in patients with conditions like short bowel syndrome.
