Can Immodium Tablets Be Taken To Manage Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?
Doctor, I have been experiencing IBS symptoms now for about six months. It is now starting to impact my every day activities, not always feeling confident to go out on a day trip anywhere. I have recently taken immodium tablets intermittently, but I know it is not recommended to rely on these. Is it safe to take an immodium tablet say on an average of once a week, depending of course on your activities. I am not too confident to even take a plane trip (4 hours) next month.
Hi welcome to HCM . I would be happy to share my opinion. Its a good idea using tablet Imodium for IBS especially when you are not confident enough of holding up and its an unavoidable commitment. Excess of anything is bad but once a week is alright to use. I wish you a healthy life.
