Imodium Plus Comfort Tablets

 

What are Imodium Plus Comfort Tablets?

 

Imodium Plus Comfort Tablets are a  symptomatic treatment of acute diarrhoea and associated symptoms of gas-related abdominal discomfort including bloating, cramping or flatulence.

 

What is the active ingredient in Imodium and how does it work?

 

The active ingredient in Imodium is Loperamide. Loperamide works by slowing down your bowel and returning it to its normal rhythm. This helps to restore the absorption of fluids into your body. Imodium Comfort Tablets also contain 125mg of simeticone, an anti-foaming agent that works to relieve bloating and stomach cramps by breaking up the excess gas in the bowel.
