What drugs to use for my diarrhea?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Many: loperamide( Imodium) is a good over the counter drug for simple, short term treatment. If your diarrhea continues for a long period, you should check with your physician as you may have an GI infection or something else. Good Luck

Imodium (loperamide) AD: Try an over the counter antidiarrheal such as Imodium (loperamide) AD for your diarrhea as long as it is not bloody nor associated with high fevers. If you need to be on it regularly, see your physician to make sure you do not need further testing.
