ruthless77's Full Review: Imodium A D Anti Diarrheal 24 Caplets
HI GUYS!I am a doctor from india and a strong promoter of this medicine .
The medicine is definitely a miraculous advancement.I come across a
long list of diarrhoea cases in my clinical practise.Whatever might be the
underlying cause diarrhoea is a devourer of our energy reserves.
In clinical practice most important principle in treating a disease is to treat it symptom first and then the cause.Diarrhoea can be manifestation of various diseases.....like the amoebic dysentery,cholera,inflammatory bowel syndrome,irritable bowel syndrome and many other infections.
The medicine contains an opiod analogue,loperamide
which is the active ingredient.Before the introduction of loperamide there were many other ANTI-DIARRHOEAL AGENTS ruling the market ,but most of them had serious side effects.The active ingredient of this medicine
is virtually free of any serious side effects,though there may be little sedation.CONSTIPATION may ensue on prolonged usage.It is difficult for
every person to run to a doctor every time they get diarrhoea.Patients can use this medicine for symptomatic relief in diarrhoea without consulting the physician.But it is always better to consult your doctor after the relief because you have treated only the symptom,but not the cause.It is your doctor's duty to diagnose the cause and treat it rapidly.
CHRONIC USE of this medicine may result in constipation and therefore prolonged use is not recommended.If diarrhoea is recurring and is of prolonged duration it is better to undergo further investigations.Remember a prolonged diarrhoea can be a manifestation of underlying malignancy.
I recommend this medicine especially because it is virtually safe as long as it is used properly.
