Imodium Instants 2mg Loperamide Tablets contains an active ingredient called Loperamide, which in turn works to renew the absorption of fluids in your system. This works in harmony with your body to help restore the digestive system to its natural pace and rhythm. Imodium contains no ingredients that might bind content or act as a bung. Instead, Imodium works to restore the regular movement of your intestinal wall and to resume the natural rhythm of your digestive system, helping your bowel movements return to normal more quickly. Constipation may be experienced after diarrhea has finished as a result of the bowel being emptied or by eating less during the diarrhea episode. Imodium is a medication of the opioid receptor agonist class used to decrease the frequency of diarrhea. It is often used for this purpose in irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease and short bowel syndrome. It slows down the movement (contractions) in your intestine so that you pass firmer stools less often.
