Did you ever try to open up an Imodium packet? When you’re not feeling well and you’re on the toilet bowl that’s happened to me today and then my husband tried to help me and he uses a knife to try to open it and then like we’re decision to try to open it and I’m still having a hard time opening it, and the directions are so far down on the back of the box on the bottom that by the time you finish reading the all the other nonsense you’re sick again you need to make explicit directions.

My 88 year old mother and I both need, and use, Imodium AD with good results. But her age and feebleness plus my painful, arthritic fingers make it extremely difficult to open the individual blister packages. I need to use a knife or scissors and often end up cutting the gel tabs! I've read numerous complaints regarding this exact problem and yet it doesn't seem that the manufacturer cares enough to put this product into an easy-to-open bottle. Would love to give this product a higher rating but won't strictly due to the poor packaging.

Could you possibly make the packaging any more difficult to get in to? I would like to meet the sadist who decided this was a good packaging concept. After chipping a fingernail, trying my knife and finally successfully retrieving the Imodium it worked and eventually relieved my stomach distress.

Product works great, but getting it out of package is the worst. Have to either cut open or keep folding and folding at "perforation". An elderly or person with hand issues will have difficulties opening. My wife cut her finger using the bend and tear method.

These worked exceptionally well in regards to stopping the loose stools and without taking you to the other end of the spectrum, CONSTIPATION. You can rest assured they do the job safely and effectively without nasty drawbacks like others I've used. Thanks Immodium for making another SUPERIOR product.

Unfortunately I have to use this product frequently. Live the gels as they are easy to swallow. Can’t take the tablets as they Are hard to swallow. Please make the multi-symptom in a gel so 8 can go back to using them. Again, can’t swallow the caplet, gets stuck and I gag. Packaging is awful! Too hard to open.

Use your softgel’s when I experience diarhea. They work 100%. One problem I have being. 79 year old senior with arthritis in both hands I can’t open the thick packaging and have to use scissors off pliers. Please make easier opening packaging for us seniors. Thank you.

the tablet form is terrible.I saw you got complaints going back 4 years on your website and declined fixing the problem 4 years ago. This totally unacceptable whe you cant open the packet pushed through. if you use scissors you destroy the tablet. you ignore feedback and this is proof

I can only relate to what Imodium pkg. I have but must suspect most are not opening the caplet blistter pack properly. Mine are scored diagonally once on one corner, each blister pack. All you have to do is bend that corner, towards the back of packet as i recall. Nothing coulf be easier, in my humble opinion, i am nearly 85 yrs old. I have a 12 pack of 2mg caplets. imodium, i applaud my box packaging and the Imodium[ AD inside. JW

I take Imodium for lactose-induced diarrhea. And now I read the very FIRST inactive ingredient is lactose - WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? I can no longer use your product because for me, it contains something my body believes is poison that makes me sick. Millions of people are lactose intolerant and should NOT use this product.
