Imodium (loperamide) is not an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) and works differently, primarily as an anti-diarrheal medication. Generally, a person allergic to NSAIDs can take Imodium, but it's essential to consult a healthcare professional first to ensure there are no other contraindications or potential interactions with other medications. Always prioritize safety and individual health circumstances before taking any new medication.

Patients who have allergic reactions to aspirin should not be treated with NSAIDs
You may not be allergic to all the NSAIDs or non steroidal inti-inflammatory drugs. You can take the tizanidine. It is muscle relaxant drug.
No. They have similar effects on the bowel but work in very different ways and and are not chemically related. You may be allergic to both but this would be a coincidence rather than a causal relationship. Mike RGN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately, I am allergic to Codeine, and am unable to take: Imodium, Morphine, Vicodin, Oxycodone, or anything similar. Imodium makes everything 100 times worse: the diarrhea, stomach cramps, then add vomiting. The only thing I can take for pain is Demerol, because it is 100% synthetic, so be careful with Imodium even though it's over the counter. I assume everyone is different. Ree Medical Office Manager

There are different types of anti-infammatory medications. There are steroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs). Cortisone is a steroid. Ibuprofen and Naproxen are types of NSAIDs. You need to know exactly what type of anti-inflammatory medication you are allergic to.
Yes.
Sulfate is not same as sulfa drugs. So person allergic to sulfa drugs can take barium sulfate.
If you have a stroke and are allergic to NSAIDs and aspirin, it's crucial to seek immediate medical attention. In such emergencies, healthcare professionals may use alternative medications, such as thrombolytics (clot busters) or antiplatelet agents that are not NSAIDs or aspirin, depending on the type of stroke and your medical history. Always inform medical personnel about your allergies so they can provide the safest and most effective treatment. Do not attempt to treat a stroke on your own; immediate professional evaluation is essential.
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.
