Instructions for use for IMODIUM akut Duo 2 mg/125 mg tablets, 6 pcs

Imodium akut Duo is a medicine used for the symptomatic treatment of acute diarrhoea in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and over when abdominal cramps, a distended abdomen and flatulence occur at the same time. It contains the active ingredients loperamide hydrochloride and simeticon. Loperamide hydrochloride slows down the increased intestinal activity and increases the absorption of water and salts from the intestines. Simeticon breaks up the gas bubbles in the intestines that cause cramps and flatulence. The tablets should be taken unchewed with a glass of water. The recommended dose varies according to age, although the maximum daily dose should not be exceeded. Use in children under 12 years of age is not recommended. In case of overdose, a doctor or hospital should be contacted immediately as serious symptoms may occur. It is important to read the package leaflet and consult a doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. The medicine should be kept out of reach of children and should not be used after the expiry date. The possible side effects are nausea and taste disturbance. The ingredients of the medicine work by slowing down increased bowel activity and causing excess gas bubbles in the bowel to break down. The drug should not be used in certain contraindications such as allergies to the ingredients, certain intestinal diseases and liver disease. Pregnant women should consult their doctor before use and the medicine should be avoided during breastfeeding. No special storage conditions are required and the medicine should not be disposed of in the waste water. It is important to follow the dosage recommendations and to consult a doctor if symptoms persist for a long time. The medicine may be effective for different causes of acute diarrhoea, such as diet, stress, gastroenteritis and traveller's diarrhoea. It is also important to consider the possible triggers of diarrhoea, such as food intolerances and high stress. Imodium acute duo not only relieves diarrhoea, but also flatulence and cramps. It is well tolerated and provides fast relief.
