I was sick on10/17.stomach acted/multi bm.i got home and took imodium(1/2the amount)and i havent pooped in 5days.my stomach hurts a lot.what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be serious: Imodium (loperamide) works by slowing down peristalsis.(the process by which food is moved along the intestine). If you take it as prescribed (2 tabs) it should not shut it down. You may have ileus where it shuts down and you should be seen today!!
