Bowel Sedatives

If a simple dietary decrease in roughage fails to reduce bowel frequency and looseness and you still don’t feel too unwell try one of these three tablets:

Immodium

Lomotil

Codeine phosphate

However if your bowel function doesn’t settle completely by the combination of dietary methods and bowel sedatives or recurs after stopping treatment see your GP or try clicking on ‘change in bowel habit’ in the ‘Symptom Checker’.

Note If you begin to feel very unwell at any time then seek your doctor’s advice.
