Q: Is this the small bottle or the individual packs?
submitted by Jeff - 3 years ago
A: Hi Jeff - Thanks for stopping by! This is a small bottle of 24 caplets. I hope this will work for you! - Katrina
submitted byKatrina - 3 years agoTarget staff supportA: June 2020: 24 caplets now in difficult-to-open blister packs instead of arthritis-friendlier small bottles. FDA regulations to prevent abuse of loperamide has made economical sizes and simple packaging impossible to find online, OTC in person or via prescription for people who need it.
submitted byMidwest Woman - 3 years agoA: It is a small bottle.
submitted byLulubelle - 3 years agoA: Hey just bought it, August 2022, impossible to open blister pack. Unbelievably bad package design. Thanks FDA and Target! :/

Q: Can someone Please clarify if this is sold in a easy to access bottle or the impossible to open blister packs as of 10/2020?
submitted by mog - 3 years ago
A: The FDA needs to allow better access for older consumers and for those with arthritis; the current packaging is sadistic -and imagine trying to get the pills out of the blisters if you're on a plane!!
submitted byOjoSuzie - 2 years agoA: The Loperamide 24 count was picked up on 10/30/21 so I am not picking it up again on 10/31/21. Thanks

These work. Less expensive if you can get your physician to prescribe the medication rather than pay for over the counter. Ever since the medication was abuse by people cooking it up in large quantities to produce a stronger opioid, the manufacturers were required to sell OTC in smaller quantities and the cost went up. One used to purchase bottles of 200 or more caplets. Now you can only find 24 caplets. I would simply cut open the sealed blister packs and store in a clean bottle or container with a screw top.

These work. However, I would rather pay double or even triple the price to not have to deal with the awful blister packaging. We've used this for years and it used to come in a little bottle. PLEASE GO BACK TO THE BOTTLE!!

jj - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
I have Ibs-d and was told by my gastroenterologist to take Imodium for symptoms. I decided to try the off brand as it's much cheaper and after reading other reviews saying they work the same but it doesn't work...at all. So if you have IBS it might not be strong enough but maybe for a mild upset stomach it might work.

Great product, quality is there, it works as it’s supposed to, and at a price much lower than the name brand products. I was blowing my toilet up for days, even pooped my pants at work before I took this stuff, got me back to normal in no time.

You can't get these out of their package so you will have a hard time knowing if they are effective. I understand the need for security but I think they are saving money on the packaging by making it cheaply and very hard to open. In small print on the back of each pill it tells you to tear at the notch and/or use a scissors! Well they do not tear! I stabbed myself with the scissors and broke my nail trying to break into this package. When you are already not feeling well, this just makes things worse. I ruined three of the pills trying to get them out of the package. Do not buy these. They will just add to your frustration which you do not need when you are already not feeling well.

One less star because you never have them in stock For everyone who has complained about the packaging- I agree! I have figured out a trick! Break of two squares to use as a sharp utensil. You can use one but two together are easier to hold. Use a sharp corner to slit the paper next to the pill of another square (takes patience sometimes but pierce the paper and run it horizontal along the pill. You won’t need scissors and you can do the cuts ahead of time. Then just push the pill through or use the corner to pry it open.

Greg - 6 months ago
The worst packaging I think I have ever experienced. Has a little corner thing you're supposed to bend down, but then all it does is snap off, leaving no way to open the packaging. The only way to get to the pills is to cut with scissors, but then they are so tightly packed that on some you have to literally cut into the pills to free them, and then the broken pills spill dust everywhere. After a couple of these, I just decided I'm not doing that 24 times and just threw the rest away.

I dislike the packaging!! No matter what brand of this you get, it's the same packaging. I'm unpacking all of them at once. Using a box cutter and scissors.
