Imodium Instants 6 And 12 Orodispersible Tablets

Imodium Instants are specially formulated melt-in-the-mouth anti-diarrhoeal tablets designed to provide fast, effective relief from acute, short-term diarrhoea in an instant. Engineered with a unique melt technology, each imodium instant 2mg tablet dissolves on the tongue within seconds without the need for water, making them ideal for discreet, on-the-go relief whether you are at home, work, or travelling.

Containing Loperamide Hydrochloride 2mg, Imodium Instants Tablets work harmoniously with your digestive system to slow down an overactive bowel, helping restore its natural rhythm. This allows your body to absorb more fluids and essential nutrients, reducing stool frequency and firming bowel movements. Available in convenient imodium instants 6 pack and value imodium instants 12 tablets sizes, this fast-acting treatment provides rapid control over acute diarrhoea episodes.

Key Features:

  • Fast-Melting Formulation: Orodispersible tablets dissolve in seconds on the tongue with no water required.
  • Rapid Symptom Relief: Works quickly to restore normal bowel rhythm and reduce loose stool frequency.
  • Proven Active Ingredient: Contains 2mg Loperamide Hydrochloride per tablet to slow intestinal motility.
  • Discreet & Convenient: Compact blister packaging available in 6 & 12 tablet packs, perfect for travel and instant access.
  • Restores Fluid Absorption: Helps your body retain fluid and electrolytes lost during diarrhoea episodes.

How Imodium Instants Works?

Imodium Instants act directly on the gastrointestinal tract through local opioid receptor binding:

  • Inhibition of Peristalsis (Loperamide Hydrochloride 2mg): Loperamide binds selectively to mu-opioid receptors in the circular and longitudinal muscle layers of the intestinal wall. This inhibits the release of acetylcholine and prostaglandins, slowing propulsive intestinal motility (peristalsis) and delaying gastrointestinal transit time.

  • Fluid Retention & Anal Tone Enhancement: By prolonging intestinal transit time, the gut mucosa has more time to reabsorb water and electrolytes from fluid stool matter. Loperamide also increases anal sphincter tone, reducing fecal urgency and incontinence.

Ingredients:

  • Active Ingredient: Loperamide Hydrochloride 2mg per orodispersible tablet.
  • Excipients: Gelatin, Mannitol (E421), Aspartame (E951), Mint Flavour, Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate.

How to Use:

  • Target Users: Suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over for acute diarrhoea.

  • Directions for Use:

    1. Place the tablet on the tongue. It will dissolve instantly in your mouth.

    2. Swallow with saliva; no water or chewing is required.

  • Imodium Instants Dosage Guide:

    • Initial Dose: Take 2 tablets (4mg) immediately to start treatment.

    • Subsequent Doses: Take 1 tablet (2mg) after each subsequent loose bowel movement.

    • Maximum Daily Dose: Do not take more than 6 tablets (12mg) in any 24-hour period.

    • IBS Diarrhoea (Medically Diagnosed Adults 18+): Take 2 tablets initially, followed by 1 tablet as needed per loose stool, up to a maximum of 6 tablets daily.

  • Duration: Do not use for more than 48 hours without consulting a doctor.
