Jeffrey Roberts Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 Hello, While imodium can be effective, it can also cause you to have constipation, which I'm sure that is not something you want right now. Perhaps you could consider an antispasmodic medication which might reduce the urgency and need to empty your bowels so often. It might be less constipating. Imodium is recommended to take no more than 16 mg daily. Generally, you take 4 mg at the onset of diarrhea and 2 mg each time you have a loose stool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anoos82 Posted August 28 Author Report Share Posted August 28 Thanx for your response, I already tried antispasmodic but with no satisfactory response unfortunately, my inquiry is about if I can take immodium 2mg once daily on regular basis? For next 2 or 3 weeks, till the surgery wound is healed , As long as its not causing constipation for me , if u have any experience with that , I will be happy to know from you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Roberts Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 Okay. There is another posting that talks about using imodium on a regular basis. Some doctors are okay with it and some are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
