Medicine pack check sheet

Source-linked reading points

• Check IMODIUM A-D, loperamide hydrochloride, 2 mg per caplet, film-coated oral-tablet form, NDC 50580-317-06, the 12-caplet carton (2 blisters of 6) and target market together. 2 mg is the labelled strength for this exact caplet, not a web answer to anyone's tablet count.
• The label records a white oval caplet, IMO / 2 / MG imprint and a 2-piece score. These are appearance identity fields, not an instruction to self-split, reduce or convert by half a caplet. Whether and how a product can be split must be checked against the current label for the actual product with a pharmacist or clinician.
• The label warns that taking more than directed can cause serious heart problems or death. It also flags black or bloody stool, fever, mucus in stool, liver disease, abnormal heart rhythm, other prescription medicines, symptoms over two days or abdominal swelling as cues for prompt action through the label and professional channels. Do not turn these cues into a self-directed increase, continuation, stopping, combination or substitution plan from a website.
• The IMODIUM name, package image, colour or imprint can only help locate a source; they cannot authenticate a product, establish current approval or decide individual suitability. With suspected overdose, severe abdominal pain or swelling, black or bloody stool, fainting, palpitations or another acute problem, prioritise local emergency medical support.
