Imodium Classic 2mg Capsules - 12 Capsules

Imodium® Classic 2mg Capsules provide effective, fast-acting relief from diarrhoea, helping you regain control when you need it most.

Each capsule contains loperamide hydrochloride 2mg, an anti-diarrhoeal medicine that works by slowing down the movement of the bowel. This allows more water to be absorbed from the bowel, helping to reduce stool frequency and improve stool consistency.
