Is It Safe To Consume Imodium Multi-symptom Relief Caplets Along With Pepto-Bismol?
Question: Hi, just wondering if there are any interactions between Imodium Multi-Symptom Relief (caplets) and Pepto Bismol(liquid). My son just got the stomach bug from a friend and I immediately gave him Pepto -what we had handy in the house about 4 hours ago.
He still needs something to reduce the cramps/gas so I went out and got the Imodium. The Imodium bottle says nothing about drug interactions.

Brief Answer:
Interactions are none; Safe to use
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir.Thanks for your query.
You can use both of them since there are no interactions between Imodium multi symptom relief and Pepto bismol.Both drugs are used for symptomatic relief.However if your son doesnot get better then kindly consult a paediatrician since he have to be examined and probably needs a medication change.
Feel free to ask me further queries you may have.
