Treatment Details

What are Imodium Instant Melts?
Imodium Instant Melts are fast-acting, orally disintegrating tablets designed to relieve acute diarrhoea. These convenient tablets dissolve instantly on the tongue without the need for water, making them ideal for quick relief at home or on the go.
How do Imodium Instant Melts work?
Imodium Instant Melts contain loperamide hydrochloride, which slows down bowel movement, allowing the intestines to absorb more water. This helps to firm up stools and restore normal digestion, reducing discomfort and frequent trips to the toilet.
- Place one tablet on the tongue and allow it to dissolve completely; no water is needed.
- Adults and children over 12 years: Take two tablets initially, followed by one tablet after each loose stool.
- Do not exceed six tablets in 24 hours.
- Do not use for more than 48 hours without medical advice.
Like all medications, Imodium Instant Melts may cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Possible side effects include:
- Common: Nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation
- Uncommon: Abdominal cramps, bloating, headaches
- Rare but serious: Severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing), severe constipation or bloating
If you experience severe or persistent symptoms, stop use and consult a healthcare professional.
