Want this question answered?
My doctor gave me a list of safe medications to take while pregnant. Immodium is listed as safe for diarrhea. It looks to me like Immodium is loperamide so I am making the assumption that it is okay...fwiw.
Can I take coumadin and immodium at the same time
Immodium is used to treat and control diarrhea. It controls bowel movement and makes the stool less watery. It is also used on people who have leostomy. People who are allergic to Loperamide should not take Immodium.
You can take Immodium (loperamide) for a short time while on antibiotics.. but it shouldn't be used to reduce antibiotics-induced diarrhea.
can you take anti-diarrheal loperamide
Yes, I just spoke w/my vet as my cat was recently diagnosed with cancer and the medicine treatment has given him diarrhea so she instructed me to give him (he's 9 lbs) 1 ml of imodium for the 1st dose. The 2nd day dose at 0.50. Stools should return to normal and if not then he will need to be seen to adjust his medicine treatments. Of course, when having to give any animal an approved human form of medication your vet should be notified so according to weight of the animal they can give you instruction on the correct dosage.
Loperamide is generally safe to take while pregnant. There is no evidence of risk to the child or mother from taking this drug. However, if you are on loperamide and become pregnant, make sure to check with your doctor.
You should check with your doctor first. However Amoxycillin an antibacterial can be combined with Loperamide when the diarrhea is not infectious. Loperamide should be avoided in diarrhea due to infections of GIT (infectious diarrhea) where there is risk of toxins from bacterial in colon leading to infectious colitis and thereafter toxic megacolon. I would again advice to check with your doctor first.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes you can....I have used Imodium at high doses while getting off percs. I did happen to go on a bender one night while doing the Imodium detox and was perfectly fine.
