Ingredients
The active ingredient in Imodium Liqui-Gels is loperamide hydrochloride. It works by slowing intestinal movement, allowing the body to absorb more fluids and electrolytes.
Each liqui-gel capsule contains:
- Loperamide hydrochloride 2 mg (anti-diarrheal agent)
Inactive ingredients may include gelatin, glycerin, and coloring agents that help form the liqui-gel capsule. These components do not contribute to the medicinal effect but support stability and ease of swallowing.
How to Use
Imodium Liqui-Gels are taken by mouth and should be swallowed whole with water. The liqui-gel capsule should not be chewed, crushed, or opened.
For best results:
- Take the first dose as soon as diarrhea symptoms begin
- Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration

This medication is intended for short-term symptom relief, not for long-term digestive conditions unless advised by a healthcare professional.
