I have incontinent bowl and must take one tablet after each bowel movement. Is there a better way to remove pill other than cutting it out?

You'll miss it if you need it
This is one of those products you should keep on hand because you never know when you'll need it. If you've got a serious medical problem, you need to see a doctor. But for routine upsets, you'll be glad you have this available. It's a must have product for a lot of people going overseas.

Product works great BUT….
The packaging is way too difficult to open especially when you’re in distress. Please have mercy and redesign the pill packaging.

Hard to open
I take Imodium all the time and I like the product. BUT it is so very hard getting them punched out. I always have to either use a knife or scissors to get the tablets out. Especially the small 2mg. I’m sure Im not the only one having this problem. Can you try to make it a little easier to get tablets out? Thank you

Great product, nearly impossible to gain access
Imodium works well for me but your packaging department should be sentenced to 30 days hard labor continually opening their Imodium packaging all day. I'm an adult male with strong hands and gave up trying to gain access without scissors. Even with scissors it takes nearly a minute per tablet. Really?

It works for diarrhea
This product was used while on our cruise.vthe caplets come in blister packages that are very easy to open and swallow. The instructions say take 1 caplet and that was enough to cure the diarrhea.

Where's the bottles
The blister packs are so hard to open to get the caplets out. What happened to the bottles of caplets?? Seniors have enough problems taking meds but blister packs are terrible to access. I have to take multiple caplets daily so have to cut open the cards and put the caplets into a bottle for easier access.

Works well
Not much to say other than this stuff works if you need to be somewhere and can’t risk it. I do like the gel capsules better. 2npills doesn’t for me and then I can go for a few days. Everyone should keep a pack of these for just in case moments

Effective treatment
Imodium is an effective treatment for diarrhea but it should be considered to be put into a bottle instead of individual tablets for disabled people or people who have a hard time getting the individual tablets out of the packaging.

Good product, terrible packaging
We love the product but the packaging makes it very difficult especially for elderly folks. Needs to be an easier way to open.

Need easier packing - PLEASE!!!!!! 🙏
The Imodium works very well. However, if someone has an urgent case of the “Hershey Squirts”, trying to open the “bubble pack” is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT! A big mess could easily occur while frantically trying to extract the pill from “Fort Knox” packaging. 😱

Works when you need it!
This product has saved me more than once! We all have times where a particular meal or illness strikes at an inconvenient — to the point that we’re afraid to leave the house this product works when you need to. Enough said. 🙂

Hand grenades open the packaging
Pills work. Packaging does not. Despite the overwhelming number of reviews about packaging you do nothing to fixi it. Why not

Why do you need a blowtorch to open them?!
I have used your product on and off my entire life. I have also been baffled by the fact that it is IMPOSSIBLE to get the caplets out of the foil packaging without a knife or scissors. Why the HECK do you have a product that "When you need it, you NEED it fast..." but the consumer cannot open it without a knife or scissors?!?! The product works well, but not if you can't even access it.

Horrible packaging
The packaging is horrible, actually the worse I've ever had. It's so hard to open. If you need this medication fast your out of luck and better be home so u can actually get it open. You almost need the jaws of life to get it open! There has to be a better way to package this that makes it easier to use. Please CHANGE the packaging so you can actually get it out to take it
This products works for me effectively and without side effects: I've never had to take a second dose. Therefore I'm grateful to have it because diarrhea is the worst. But I hate how hard this company has made it to open the caplets! It'd especially distressing when you're feeling not well. I see repeated feedback complaining about this issue, yet no changes to packaaing have been made, and not even a helpful blurb has been posted on their website about how to open the packaging. Clearly the mfr doesn't care about its customers. I will look for another brand when I'm feeling better; apparently the active ingredient is Loperamide HCL—they can't be the only company selling this medication.

Good for anti diarrhea
Helped with my diarrhea. Helped with my stomach pains too. The instructions were easy to read. There wasn't much of a taste as you swallow it. It absorbed quickly.
