Imodium Is Available Again

Post by tex »

Hi All,

At least, I think it is. I noticed a batch of fresh-dated boxes at a local supermarket pharmacy department. They were boxes of only 6 each, but at least it's a start. Anyway, I'm guessing that it's back in production, 'cause I found this in Small Town, USA, and it wasn't there, a couple of weeks ago. :grin:

Thanks for the tip, Tex. I'll check the stores near me, too.

I have 2 full bottles in my medicine closet. Got them at CVS. I didn't know it was in short supply. Anyone need some?

The liquid has always been available around here, but most people prefer the tablets. The tablets have apparently been out of production since sometime last spring, due to manifacturing issues/modifications.

I had an allergic reaction to the tablets. My face swelled up something horrid. Mind you, it's Halloween. That face would have scared anyone!

Was it the original Imodium A-D, or one of the other formulations, or a genetic? The only one that most of us can safely take is the original formulation, because of the inactive ingredients in the other versions.

It was Imodium, but I don't know what formulation. As a long time sufferer from C, I am no expert on anti-diarrheal meds.
