General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

If I may suggest, stop Imodium. It is a case of ineffective diarrhea. You should consult a physician and do not use any drug that contains Domperidone drug.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. BarunBijoy Bhattacharjee
