Imodium Instant Melts - 12 Tablets

Imodium® Instants provide fast, effective relief from diarrhoea in a convenient orodispersible tablet that dissolves instantly on the tongue, without the need for water.

Imodium® Instants contain loperamide hydrochloride, an anti-diarrhoeal medicine that works by slowing down bowel movement, allowing more water to be absorbed back into the body. This helps to make stools firmer and reduces the frequency of bowel movements.

They are suitable for the short-term treatment of acute diarrhoea, including diarrhoea caused by stomach upset, food poisoning or travel. The fast-dissolving format makes Imodium® Instants particularly useful when you are on the go or unable to swallow tablets.
