Question 1

is it possible that i take bentyl, beano, gas-x, and imodium (loperamide) all in the same day?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but why?: It sounds like you have some GI symptoms that may include cramping, gas, bloating, and loose stools. This may be related to irritable bowel syndrome, which is a functional disorder. However, a 'shotgun' approach is not the best way to manage it. See your doctor for a good history and physical exam, and s/he should be able to get you started on a management plan. The plan may need tweaking.

Question 2

can i take bentyl, beano,gas-x, and imodium (loperamide) all in the same day? thanks in advance.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes you can- None of these drugs should interact with the others, however, the immodium will slow down the intestine transit time and you should be aware of this. Bentyl (dicyclomine) an antispasm medicine might do the same. You should consult with your doctor before using both immodium and bentyl (dicyclomine) in one day. Also, slowing down the Gastrointestinal tract, could make a gas problem worse instead of better.

Question 3

can i take imodium during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Category C drug: Imodium is considered relatively safe in pregnancy having received the category C label. That means there are no studies to date that show fetal effects but long term specific data is lacking so a safer A or B label is not given.

Question 4

could you take hydrocodone with dicyclomine?

Accepted Answer

Yes with care.: Dicyclomine  can slow bowel function down and so can hydrocodone and thus the combined effect of the two medications when used together can be constipation. Thus and if both are in use, i would be careful and watch out for slowed bowel function that can lead to constipation. Alert health care professional accordingly should change of bowel habits begin to occur if the above medications are in use.

Question 5

can you take pepto and imodium (loperamide)?

Accepted Answer

Stomach meds: You should be able to take both. Pepto is like an antacid and Imodium (loperamide) is an antispasmodic to relax the gut.

Question 6

is it safe to take imodium with entamizole ds?

Accepted Answer

Yes: entamizole has 2 ingredients though, diloxanide and metronidazole, the former works in the intestine, the latter penetrates tissues, to kill protozoa as amoeba, imodium reduces gut motility so helps with cramps and diarrhoea. Good that you asked, always exercise caution with multiple medications

Question 7

how long after taking hydrocodone can you take bentyl?

Accepted Answer

: I'm not aware of any significant contraindications to taking this combination, especially if you're not experiencing any side effects with either of these meds. I've seen the combination used without problems. Your pharmacist can validate this advice.

Question 8

can i take bisacodyl and dicyclomine/ bentyl together?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but: what are you treating?  Bisacodyl is a laxative.  Bentyl (dicyclomine) is an antispasmodic.  To some extent the laxative would cause cramps to cause a movement and ease constipation.  If this is your primary problem then you should just take the laxative.  If cramps is the primary problem and you are not constipated, you don't need a laxative.

Question 9

is imodium (loperamide) safe to take if i have gastritis?

Accepted Answer

Safe but may not hel: Imodium (loperamide) is safe for gastroenteritis ,
