What Do Imodium Plus Tablets Do? The tablets are used to treat short-lived attacks of diarrhoea when it occurs with stomach cramps, bloating and wind. The tablets contain two active ingredients: Loperamide hydrochloride, which helps reduce diarrhoea by slowing down an overactive bowel. This helps the body to absorb more water and salts from the bowel. Simeticone, which breaks up the gas bubbles in the bowel that causes cramps and bloating. Dosage Swallow the correct number of tablets whole with a drink of water. Adults over 18 years: Take 2 tablets initially, followed if required, by 1 tablet after each loose bowel movement. Young adults aged 12 to 18 years: Take 1 tablet initially, followed if required, by 1 tablet after each loose bowel movement. Not more than 4 tablets should be taken per day, for a maximum of 2 days. If your diarrhoea lasts for more than 48hours, consult your doctor. What do Imodium Plus tablets contain?
