Hello,

Imodium is used for diarrhea. It leads to constipation. So please stop bit. Eat a high fiber diet, and do regular exercise and drink plenty of water. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
