Imodium (loperamide) replacement for pregnant women?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Category C: It is pregnancy category c, it means there are no studies done in pregnant women.But studies in animals showed harm to the fetus.Its use is only recommended if potential benefit outweigh the risk to fetus. I will say avoid it if you can.
