Imodium Plus (Dimeticone, Loperamide Hydrochloride)

Loperamide binds to peripheral μ‑opioid receptors in the intestinal wall, slowing peristalsis and extending transit time, which reduces stool output. Dimeticone acts as a surfactant that lowers surface tension of gas bubbles, allowing them to merge and be expelled more easily, thus relieving bloating.

The appropriate dose of Imodium Plus is determined by a healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, and severity of symptoms. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions or the product label and not exceed the recommended amount.

Safety data for Imodium Plus in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should consult their physician before using the product to weigh potential benefits against any possible risks.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the Imodium Plus product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details, and any necessary import documentation.

Imodium Plus combines loperamide, a widely used opioid‑type antidiarrheal, with dimeticone, an anti‑foaming agent not present in many single‑ingredient products. This dual action offers both stool regulation and gas relief, whereas standard loperamide‑only formulations address only diarrheal symptoms.

Imodium Plus should be stored below 25 °C in a dry environment. Keep the product in its original packaging, protect it from moisture, and store it out of direct sunlight to maintain stability and potency.

Imodium Plus is taken orally, usually with a glass of water. The tablet should be swallowed whole and not chewed or crushed, unless otherwise directed by a healthcare professional.

Serious risks include severe constipation or intestinal obstruction (ileus), toxic megacolon, and rare cardiac arrhythmias, especially when combined with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Prompt medical attention is required if symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or irregular heartbeat occur.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to dimeticone or loperamide, children under two years of age, patients with bacterial enterocolitis, and those taking medications that strongly inhibit CYP3A4 or prolong the QT interval should not use Imodium Plus without medical supervision.
