A member asked:

What kind of allergic rash, raised skin do you get from allergic reaction to imodium (loperamide)? is it hives-like?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: The most common reaction would be hives. I have seen patients get a lot of swelling around the eyes. And, there is always the possibility of a more severe reaction, with trouble breathing, etc.
