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.

"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.

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.

Imodium works well but the packaging of the oval shaped gel tabs makes it a major job to get the gel tab out of the packaging no matter how many times you fold and pull. If you can actually get the pill out don't set it down because it will roll right off the table because of its shape. I am very unhappy with the packaging of these pills and will never buy them again.

I stick to the liquid Imodium, although I carry the tablets in my purse. My husband and I are both retired, but we lead a very active life, including very long (over 200 miles sometims) motorcycle rides wherever we happen to be. I am in the habit of taking Imodium before we head out if I have any concerns at all. When I have a particulary big flare up, I will sometimes taken Imodium every other day, although I hate to do that because I will pay for it eventually with and uncharacteristic constipation. I do carry a bottle of Imodium in the tour back on the bike as well.
