Hey, I have been using loperamide for years due to IBS-d & it’s prescribed via the doctor. I used to have to take at least 2 per day to control my symptoms but after a year of doing that things seems to have somewhat calmed down & now it’s more as & when. But it’s perfectly safe & I’ve not experienced any side effects. So sorry to hear you are suffering too, it can be awful at times…

I take them quite a few times a week depending on what I’m doing. Nothing works as well for me. I sometimes get indigestion if I take too many but that’s about it. I did have them on prescription but they are cheaper without. I like the melts best or ibs imodium.

I take a dose almost every day, as do a lot of others with gastro issues. I have it on prescription. Loperamide is your very best friend and safe 😀
