Technically, Imodium (Loperamide) is an opiate, but it only binds to the mu receptors in the GI tract; and doesn't cross the BBB (Blood Brain Barrier) into the CNS (Central Nervous System) like other opiates do.
Loperamide is the generic form of the brand-name drug Imodium, a medication used to treat sudden diarrhea.Imodium works by slowing down the movement of the gut. This decreases the number of bowel movements and makes stool less watery.n children, dosage is also based on age and weight. Take your dosage of Imodium exactly as directed on the packaging or by your doctor. Adults should not use more than 8 milligrams (mg) in a 24-hour period if self-treating or 16 mg if under a doctor's supervision.
