fox 6 ^ | 7 June 2016

The FDA warned doctors and patients Tuesday, June 7, 2016, that over-the-counter and prescription anti-diarrhea drugs, including Imodium, can cause potentially deadly heart problems when taken in large doses.... The primary ingredient in prescription Imodium and similar over-the-counter drugs is intended to control diarrhea. But abusers sometimes try to achieve heroin-like highs by taking massive doses, up to 300 milligrams at once, according to cases in the medical literature. Recommended doses range between 8 milligrams and 16 milligrams per day.

NO! When you need Imodium, you need it NOW!

No time for a permission slip!

I used to like going in to work very early on Saturday, get out as most are just getting up.

Halfway to work ,PROBLEMS!!! A 24 hour Walgreens, a quick chug, good to go!

Well, it’s gotten to a point that we are going to have to visit the doctor and get a prescription for aspirin because somebody is misusing it. Next thing we know, people will be plastering anti-bacterial band-aids all over their body to get some perceived high. So look out for people with band-aids, they might be an addict. lol

They better put a toilet by the pharmacy counter for those filling out all the paperwork (and that’s not toilet paper).

I don’t know if activated charcoal will work well at that point but I do know it is absolutely a miracle cure for food poisoning.

I ran out of it and happened to get hit. I couldn’t go to the store because there wasn’t one close enough. I was digging through all my cabinets and found one lone capsule. It let me get to CVS and back. Once I took regular doses the problem was gone. You really need to start taking it when you feel the first symptom.

It works for any kind of gas issue.

I’m not attacking you, but if you have sudden diarrhea that often, shouldn’t you find out why ?

No delegated power given the federal to regulate this among the several States.

What we really need is legislative laxative to force out FDR’s legacy of high handed lawlessness.
