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.

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.

Product works well. Packaging is terrible. Not only extremely difficult to open and painful for senior hands (impossible without scissors. What to do when I'm away from home?), but also an environmental hazard. Not ecologically responsible. The whole industry needs to acknowledge the enormous amount of waste they are creating and become aggressively involved in change. Please work on sustainable packaging.

The product is great and works most every time. I start with 2, if within a half hour if symptoms still exist, I take 1 more and that does the trick. The issue I have with product is the packaging. If one is sick and weak with no scissors around I embarrassingly admit I use my teeth. There’s got to be a better way.

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.

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 have a J pouch and my surgeon recommended this product to me. I find it slows things down which helps me get through my day. My only complaint is it has become very hard to find the larger quantities of the gel version. I don't digest pills as well so the gels work better for me. Does anyone have an explanation as to why this is happening?

I would like to know why you can’t put the caplets in the softgels in a bottle like the liquid. I don’t care forthe taste of the liquid. Just open the cap and take out dosage. The packaging of the caplets and softgels are very hard to open. It would be more convenient if they were just in a BOTTLE.

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.

This is an excellent product that really works on your stomach issues! Taken as directed, use two caplets, then one, etc., this is effective and gets you back to normal sooner than any other product I have tried. They also make a variety that will help with diarrhea and with gas. Not a pleasant topic but this product get you back fast! Really works great for me and my family.
