A member asked:

On the road sometimes i have to take imodium (loperamide). any side effects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Minimal: This is one of those formerly prescription only drugs with such a low toxicity and side effect profile that it has been released by the fda for over the counter sale. It can be effective for GI problems and hopefully is working for you. The GI issues are far more of a problem than any side effects.
