You should take Imodium when you start having diarrhea and then take another imodium caplet after each bout of diarrhea that occurs after that.
You can take 3 imodium at once although it's best to only take 2 imodium caplets after the first loose stool and then take another imodium caplet after each loose stool follows.
Just don't take more than 4 imodium caplets in 24 hours or you can overdose.
You should not take 1 imodium everyday or use imodium more than 2 days in a row.
You can take 1 imodium each day for 2 days but no longer than that before you need to wait a week or so before taking imodium again.
Imodium can't be in a bottle and must be in blister packs or single dose packaging due to the potential of overdose which can cause serious health issues including severe heart rhythm changes and even death.
