Is Imodium capsule banned?

Asked by Male, 27 ยท 2 months ago

No, imodium capsules are still sold to treat diarrhea and are not prohibited. Although regulators (such as the U.S. FDA) have limited packing sizes and added warnings to minimize misuse and heart hazards at high doses, loperamide is still approved and safe when used at the specified levels.
