What are the risks of taking Imodium during pregnancy?

31-year-old woman2 years ago

Hello, I am 16 weeks pregnant. A pregnancy without risks and complications. Since the beginning of my pregnancy, I have been suffering from daily diarrhea. They can occur at any time and without warning. This situation currently prevents me from leaving the house. Thank you

Hello ma'am, thank you for your question!

Imodium can be taken occasionally during pregnancy. However, I am wondering about your diarrhea: are your stools liquid or a little softer? Have you discussed this problem with your doctor?
