Imodium
How Imodium works
When the intestines function normally, food and fluids pass from the stomach into the small intestine and then into the colon. Cells that line the small intestine absorb the nutrients and water the body needs. Sometimes the cells become irritated and cannot properly absorb the water and nutrients from the food. When this happens, food and fluids can move through the colon too quickly. This results in what we know as diarrhea.
So how does IMODIUM® work to stop diarrhea?
IMODIUM® works by helping restore your body's digestive rhythm to normal. IMODIUM® controls diarrhea by giving your body more time to absorb water and nutrients, so you can get back to your regular self. This helps relieve the diarrhea, reduce the disruption to your life and shorten the bout.
