Imodium Plus Caplets When something upsets the natural balance of nutrients & water absorption in your intestines, your digestive system starts to work too fast. This leads to the frequent passing of loose, watery stools, known as diarrhoea. Contrary to popular belief, Imodium doesn't work by stopping your bowel movements. Instead, it contains an active ingredient called 'loperamide', which works by calming your digestive system down. This helps your digestive system get back to normal, leading to firmer stools. By restoring this delicate balance, you can feel better sooner & have the confidence to get on with your day. Imodium Plus Caplets are used to treat acute (short-lived) attacks of diarrhoea & contains an additional ingredient, simeticone, to relieve abdominal pain & provide dual relief for more troublesome bouts of diarrhoea.
