FDA crack down on Imodium: https://youtu.be/DbnF3H7VL_U

The FDA is now cracking down on Loperamide, also known as Imodium. The problem is that many people who are suffering from the opioid addiction are turning to Imodium or Loperamide in large doses. What that does is kind of give you a high. Also, for people who are trying to get off of the opioid drugs it's a way to reduce the side effects.

Now, Imodium, or Loperamide, is very effective and safe for diarrhea. However, large doses can be dangerous. A lot of us don't know that Loperamide or Imodium can work in a similar way as morphine. It's an opiate receptor agonist, so we’ve got to be careful. Taken with the advice of a doctor and taken in the right quantities it could be fine. You have got to be careful taking it in large quantities.

So, the FDA will see what they have in store to curb some of these addiction problems. But for you, do your best in maintaining a healthy life. Don't always jump to a medicine for symptoms such as diarrhea, see what you can do with your diet. Eat foods that are not super high in fiber or too greasy to begin with. Also, maintain a healthy diet with fruits and veggies and avoid a lot of red meat and processed foods. That will also help.

Remember, make healthy living a part of every day. Thank you.
