After reading countless complaints about the blister packaging and experiencing the same issues myself, I am switching brands. Since Imodium won't respond to comsumer complaints, there are other options available where soft-gels come loose in a small bottle. I just can't believe a packaging change from the blister package to loose in the bottle would have any complaints. Why not make it easier for your customers?

I use Imodium a lot. It always helps me. It takes forever to open the package. Why don’t you sell it in a bottle? I looked at past reviews and this has been a problem for your years and you don’t seem to listen to your customers. I might have to purchase a different brand that is easier to open.

Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience and frustration you have experienced with the packaging of the IMODIUM® caplets. In September 2019, the FDA announced a decision to limit loperamide containing medicines, including IMODIUM®, to 48 milligrams (or a 24-count pack size) to help address the misuse and abuse of loperamide while preserving access to an essential, over-the-counter remedy for diarrhea sufferers. In addition, the FDA has also required that the caplets be packaged in individual doses. We invite you to visit the following link to learn more details about this change: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-limits-packaging-anti-diarrhea-medicine-loperamide-imodium-encourage-safe-use. As a possible alternative, you may consider trying the Imodium® A-D Oral Solution. This is a mint-flavored liquid that comes in a bottle. We encourage you to discuss this with your doctor.

Product works well. Packaging is terrible. Not only extremely difficult to open and painful for senior hands (impossible without scissors. What to do when I'm away from home?), but also an environmental hazard. Not ecologically responsible. The whole industry needs to acknowledge the enormous amount of waste they are creating and become aggressively involved in change. Please work on sustainable packaging.

It is very hard for an elderly person to get the pills out of the package and I can't drink the liquid version. When I am in an attack of diarrhea I want to take the pills fast.

I use your product a lot unfortunately. It is the best anti diarrhea medicine I’ve found. However, it takes a stick of dynamite to get the darn pills out of the blister packaging. Almost impossible to do unless you have scissors to cut the package or a sharp instrument to pierce it. I don’t always have scissors on me. Please fix this or make an easier option for those of us who cannot manage the current packaging. FYI, I have no dexterity issues and am fairly strong. For this reason I gave you only 1 star. 5 stars for the medication and -4 for the packaging.

The packaging doesn't allow easy access to the med. I have to cut the foil because the slit isn't cleanly cut into the foil. The product works well but so do others with easier access. It used to be sold in bottles. Bottles should still be an option.

I have stomach issues due to medications I need to take. This stuff works so well & there are no side effects that I’ve noticed. I don’t take it every day, only as needed. It’s been a lifesaver for me.
Like Fort Knox to open.

As much as Imodium works wonders for the bubbliest of guts it has blown my mind for years at how hard it is to get the packaging open. When one of these tiny, miracle pills is needed it’s usually when one is about to poop their pants. Do better imodium. Do better.

I have used Imodium for years but will not drop another dime on this or an other Imodium product. I am, now, older and have arthritis in my hands. Unless one carries around a pair of scissors, it is absolutely impossible to open these little plastic packs with arthritis. I am sure there are other companies who still package the caplets and softgels in a bottle and I will purchase that product.
