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.
Last reviewed on RxList 4/17/2015. Imodium (loperamide hydrochloride) is an antidiarrheal used to treat diarrhea. It is also used to reduce the amount of stool in people who have an ileostomy (re-routing of the bowel through a surgical opening in the stomach). Imodium is available in generic form and over-the-counter. Common side effects of Imodium include dizziness, drowsiness, tiredness, constipation, stomach pain, skin rash, or itching. The recommended initial adult dose of Imodium is 4mg (two capsules) followed by 2 mg (one capsule) after each unformed stool.
