Bonjour un gastro m’a prescrit Cholestyramine après une colonoscopie sans m’expliquer. Ça fait 4 jours que je le prends pour la diarrhée. Ça semble vouloir fonctionner, mais je me questionne sur les effets secondaires. Je vois que ça nuit à l’absorption de vitamine, ça peut endommager les cheveux et les dents, ça baisse le cholestérol alors que mon cholestérol est beau … Imodium n’est-il pas moins dommage? Ceux qui l’ont pris pour la diarrhée, vous l’avez pris pendant combien de temps? Avez-vous des effets négatifs? J’ai un dose de 4 g, est-ce que ça me permet d’avoir moins d’effets secondaires?

Pls advise what medicine to be prescribed for loose motions? ## Have you seen a doctor for this? Have you looked into your diet to see what might be causing it? It really depends on the root cause. Some people, who experience it occasionally, due to another medication or something they've eaten can get relief from just using an over the counter product, like Loperamide, often sold under the brand name Imodium. However, if you are experiencing it regularly, then you need to see a doctor, so they can diagnose what is causing it and it may require medical intervention. ## Stomach pain and loose motion ## how to get loose motion please refer medicine or tablet ## Hi !

Is this Vicodin because I am not seeing this anywhere on the internet ## No, this is actually an Imodium Advanced tablet, it contains 2mgs of Loperamide and 125mgs of Simethicone, it's used to help treat diarrhea and the gas/bloating that can sometimes be associated with it. (NDC 50580-338) So, it isn't a narcotic or prescription medication of any type, this is available over the counter. However, it should still be used according to the directions, because there are always possible risks and side effects with any medication, even over the counter products. ## Someone switched my percocet for IMO 2 125. Would like to know what it is.

I have a white oval-shaped tablet. One side has an imprint of "IMO" and the other side is scored in the middle. Is it a pain pill? ## Hi Janiece, I located a white oval pill that has IMO on one side and scored on the back with the numbers 2 | 125 on each side of the scoreline. I realize your description doesn't have numbers, but part of me suspects whether this might be related based on the striking resemblance I'm seeing. If it's of any help, the pill I'm describing is reportedly identified as Imodium advanced (Loperamide 2 mg / Simethicone 125 mg); used for treating diarrhea. For verification, the manufacturer/distributor is listed as McNeil Consumer Healthcare and the pill itself carries a National Drug Code of 00045-0202. Does anyone else have thoughts to add?

If I'm taking apo-sulfatrim or sulfamethoxazole would it be a bad idea to take an imodium advance for my diarrhea symptoms? ## Apo-Sulfatrim actually contains 2 ingredients, Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim and no, I didn't find any interactions listed between it and the Loperamide in Imodium. However, you should double check this information to be certain. Learn more Apo-Sulfatrim details here. Learn more Imodium Advanced details here. Is there anything else I can help with?
