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.
In order to reduce the risk of the Imodium working too well and providing you with a new problem â namely, that of constipation â it is recommended that you start with a small dose, perhaps limiting yourself to 1 to 2 mg over the course of a day. A more typical dose of Imodium is to take 2 mg, twice a day. If necessary, you can increase the amount of Imodium that you take. The most you should ever take in a day is 8 mg unless your doctor advises you otherwise. Be sure to drink lots of water while taking Imodium.
