If i take imodium (loperamide) will it delay my body getting rid of the virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubtful: Immodium would not delay recovery from a viral illness however if your gastrointestinal issue would be due to a bacterial infection such as clostridium difficile colitis the immodium would be contraindicated. I would recommend a visit with a physician.
