Diarrhoea Treatment & Spotting Symptoms

It’s important to learn why and when it’s best to treat diarrhoea, so you can get all the information you need and feel more confident in treating yours. After all, you don’t want to suffer when you can help stop diarrhoea and get on with your day.

There are many reasons why people get diarrhoea, from travellers' diarrhoea and stomach bugs to IBS. Each one is different but they can all disrupt your life.

Treating diarrhoea helps stop your body from losing essential fluids and salts. This helps prevent dehydration and allows your gut to return back to its normal rhythm.

Diarrhoea causes the loss of important fluids and salts from our body, which can leave us feeling weak and tired. Treating it early lets your body start to recover more quickly and stops the further loss of fluids and salts, which, if ignored, could make you feel even more run down.

Diarrhoea can affect people of all ages and almost everyone experiences a bout of it at some point in their lives. IMODIUM<sup>®</sup> is suitable for adults, including those with IBS, and children over 12.
