Imodium dose

akteacherMember

I've been having some heavy night time leaking & thought I would try taking some Imodium before bedtime. Can anyone share the dosage they take? Also, a little worried about taking this if I have a history of small bowel obstructions although Dr. Shen dilated a stricture & I haven't had any bowel problems since then. Any advice? Thanks!

Don't take more than one or two at a time (2-4mg). Increase your dose gradually, and no more than 8 per day (16 mg). According to the data, more is not particularly dangerous, but isn't more effective. After a week or so, you'll get a handle on how your body tolerates it. It takes 4-5 days for a blood level to build up.
