I was wondering if taking Imodium for a long time is bad for you?My mother is convinced it is,but I hope it isn't.Because it helps me! And besides I am the one who has to deal with IBS-D at school everyday(This message is not meant to sound bitter because I love my mom)Can someone help me on this one please

I know of no formal studies on long-term usage. You might want to inquire with the manufacturer. By itself and no other complicating factors, I suspect it would be OK.

My gastro also said I can take Immodium forever and it won't hurt me. Of course I only take it occassionally, but now I don't hesitate if I feel I need it.Carlene
