How Imotil 2 works

Imotil 2 is an anti-diarrhoeal medication. It works by slowing down the contraction of the intestines thereby decreasing the speed at which the contents pass through it. This allows more time for reabsorption of fluids and nutrients, making the stools more solid and less frequent.

Quick Tips

You have been prescribed Imotil 2 for the treatment of diarrhea.

Diarrhea can cause water loss and electrolyte imbalance. Drink plenty of fluids to help keep you hydrated.

Consult your doctor if your diarrhea lasts for more than 48 hours.

Do not use Imotil 2 if you have blood in your stool or if you are severely constipated.

Use caution while driving or doing anything that requires concentration as Imotil 2 can cause dizziness and sleepiness.

Stop taking the medication as soon as your symptoms are relieved.
