I have used Imodium for years but will not drop another dime on this or an other Imodium product. I am, now, older and have arthritis in my hands. Unless one carries around a pair of scissors, it is absolutely impossible to open these little plastic packs with arthritis. I am sure there are other companies who still package the caplets and softgels in a bottle and I will purchase that product.

It works reliably, but the package is designed to obstruct access. Need a very sharp knife or scissors to release the soft gel. Are they so dangerous that they are in effect in a vault? Wish they were loose in a bottle. Aged fingers have a hard time! Use often due to medication side effect—3 times/week usually.

It appears that most complaints are about the packaging and I will add my review to that complaint. Even though the packaging has been complained about for many years, there has not been any effort to make it easier to open the soft gels. Needed scissors to get the soft gels.

I love Imodium for my bowel issues but your packaging for the siftgels and caplets is terrible. Why isn't it available in bottles as it used to be? Those bluster packs are horrible. The one with the supposed slit to "tear here" can only be done with a scissors because the solution is almost non existent. Now where am I going to get scissors when I am out socializing or shopping. The other type where you have "bend back" the indicated corner? The corner often tears comes completely off and you are left needing a scissors again. Maybe you should read reviews on this packaging on various websites. This is more than a common complaint. The majority of people who use your product gave the same complaint. Wise up, people before you start to lose more customers. Put the pills in a recyclable bottle.

"Fast acting" is the best description of Imodium, in any form. Plus, if not disease-related, one dose tends to do the job, so it's economical. If one or two doses don't do the trick then you'd best get to the doctor because something serious may be going on.

I can't believe you are still selling these with the awful packets. Any company that is this out of touch with the customer and does this horrible on picking a packaging design can't be trusted to make a quality product. Beside that Kaopectate works better.

The packaging doesn't allow easy access to the med. I have to cut the foil because the slit isn't cleanly cut into the foil. The product works well but so do others with easier access. It used to be sold in bottles. Bottles should still be an option.

I used to buy store brand until I tried these, I now will ONLY use the "REAL ONE"! There really is a big difference. The gel form of any medication I have found works better, and the Imodium brand seems to be more gentle then others. I won't go back!

Yeah, I've been taking your product for years. Works like magic, but as everyone else writes it's extremely difficult to get the pills out of the packaging. Question: are the NEW soft gels available in every state since I haven't seen them on the market here in Pittsburgh. Please let me know.

I got very sick from some seafood or something travelling in southern Spain. A friend who is a nurse had some of these- I took one dose and began to get better within hours, after having been sick for two days. These will be in my travel kit from now on!
