Are Skin Rashes A Side Effect Of Imodium Intake?

I had about a 12 hour case of severe diarrhea. I took Imodium and it has stopped but now I have an itchy rash on my stomach, sides of torso and buttocks. It started about the same time as the diarrhea but is getting worse. It is small red bumps. (I am 50 year old female). Thanks

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, most of the symptoms of diarrhea are self limiting and seldom needs any treatment if it is due to infection, better to take care for hydration, rash could be due to the drug taken for checking the diarrhea, It was mistake done by taking Imodium it may cause the allergic reaction and paralytic ileus hope this information helps.
