Imodium

Which Imodium is right for you?

All Imodium products contain loperamide to slow down diarrhoea, but they suit different needs. Imodium Instants melt on the tongue without water and are the best-selling choice for fast, convenient relief; Imodium Plus adds simeticone to also tackle the bloating and cramps that can come with diarrhoea; and Liquirelief capsules are a straightforward swallowed option. All are for short-term diarrhoea in those aged 12 and over.

Frequently Asked Questions

Instants, Plus or Liquirelief — how do I choose?

Choose Instants for fast, water-free convenience, Plus if you also have bloating and cramps, and Liquirelief if you prefer a swallowed capsule. All contain loperamide.

What does the simeticone in Imodium Plus add?

Simeticone helps relieve the trapped wind, bloating and cramps that can accompany diarrhoea, alongside loperamide's anti-diarrhoeal action.

When should I not use Imodium?

Don't use it if there's blood in your stools or a high fever, or for children under 12. Keep hydrated, and seek advice if diarrhoea persists.
