I just started flagyl again today to try and help pouchitis which is causing me to leak when I sleep. I find Immodium helps but I read somewhere that you can't take them together
Is this true or will it be ok?
Thanks

You can take them together (there is no drug interaction). But, Flagyl and other antibiotics tend to reduce the amount of stool, so can cause enough thickening that the effects of Imodium is too much. So just be wary of that and reduce the Imodium as needed.

Thanks for the reply ive been taking them together and it's been fine.
Also is it bad to drink alcohol with flagyl?

Some people get a dreadful reaction when they consume alcohol while taking Flagyl, so pharmacists advise everyone to avoid alcohol with Flagyl. It turns out that not everyone has this reaction, so you may want to carefully try it. I haven't worked myself up to trying it yet.
