When do you use Imodium for children?

Answer by  DrMom (854)

Imodium is used to treat diarrhea and can be used as needed. However, for children you should only use child specific Imodium. The problem with taking it too often is that it will actually create constipation if overused. It slows the activity of the bowels which may be good in the short run but not so good over time.
