Imodium Dual Action Relief is used to treat short-term diarrhoea while also helping to relieve associated symptoms such as bloating, trapped wind, and abdominal cramps.

It contains two active ingredients: loperamide, which slows bowel movements to reduce diarrhoea, and simeticone, which helps break up trapped gas bubbles to relieve bloating and wind.

This medicine is suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over. Always read the patient information leaflet before use to ensure it is suitable for you.

Take the tablets exactly as directed in the patient information leaflet or as advised by a healthcare professional. Do not exceed the recommended dose.

Many people experience relief within a few hours, although the time it takes to work can vary depending on the cause and severity of the diarrhoea.

 Yes. Diarrhoea can cause dehydration, so it's important to drink plenty of fluids. Oral rehydration solutions may be recommended, particularly for children and older adults.

Some medicines may interact with Imodium Dual Action Relief. Speak to your pharmacist or doctor before use if you are taking any other medication, including prescription, over-the-counter, or herbal medicines.

Like all medicines, Imodium Dual Action Relief can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects may include constipation, nausea, headache, or dizziness. Read the patient information leaflet for a full list of possible side effects.

Seek medical advice if your diarrhoea lasts longer than 48 hours, you develop a high fever, notice blood in your stools, experience severe abdominal pain, or show signs of dehydration such as excessive thirst, dizziness, or passing very little urine.
