Q: Is this the small bottle or the individual packs?
submitted by Jeff - 5 years ago
A: My mistake! I am sorry. Theu are now in blister packs!
submitted byLulubelle - 5 years agoA: Individual packets small packets
submitted byJanet - 10 months agoA: Blister packs, each pill is sectioned in a sheet of 6
submitted byLookingforLopeinbottle - 5 years agoA: It is a small bottle.
submitted byLulubelle - 5 years agoA: Hi Jeff - Thanks for stopping by! This is a small bottle of 24 caplets. I hope this will work for you! - Katrina
submitted byKatrina - 5 years agoTarget staff supportA: Hey just bought it, August 2022, impossible to open blister pack. Unbelievably bad package design. Thanks FDA and Target! :/
submitted byAgamemnon - 3 years agoA: This is blister-packed in order to make removal difficult BECAUSE an overrdose can cause problems. I use scissors--not a big deal. Ppl need to stop complaining about safety measures.
submitted byJay - 6 months agoA: 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 - 5 years ago
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 bythe Supplier - 5 years agoBrand expertA: I use sciccors to cut out the dose I need. Stop complaining about safety measures that prevent people--including vulnerable children--from taking this med., which can be dangerous in excess.
submitted byJay - 6 months agoA: to clarify, the impossible to open blister packs as of 10/2020
submitted byLookingforLopeinbottle - 5 years agoA: 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 - 3 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

Q: I woul like to try thi after reading so many positive. BUT my husband I both have arthritis in our hands. From what I have read the medication is Very hard to open. Is this true
submitted by Lindy - 4 years ago
A: Hi Lindy – Thanks for stopping by! Form out guest reviews scissors seem to do the trick. Please be sure to check out our guest review or more ideas. Happy shopping! Keacia
submitted byKeacia - 4 years agoTarget staff supportA: Scissors are the only way to open these and then you have to cut around the pill itself to get it out. It's like playing paper dolls.
submitted byJudy K - 1 year agoA: I use a pair of small sharp scissors which works perfectly fine. Impossible to open otherwise.
submitted byRoper - 1 month ago
Q: is dosage one or two caplets a day
submitted by wondering - 1 year ago

The product works but the PACKAGING IS A NIGHTMARE! Even with scissors, it is impossible to open.

We are sorry to hear about your experience with the loperamide. The blister strip used for this product is designed to meet the requirements of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act Regulations as promulgated by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The CPSC has developed testing protocols that industry must use to demonstrate that the closures by design are “child resistant”. We require proof of “child resistant” closures from our cap suppliers as well as our blister strip manufacturers. We take customer service concerns very seriously and are committed to providing our customers with high quality products. We strongly encourage you to contact our Contact Center Team at 1-800-864-9719 or via email by going to www.perrigo.com/contact-us and reference case number 2028351. We look forward to addressing your concerns and hearing from you!

Work well but the packaging is a sick joke. At your worst, you're left fighting with horrible plastic that you're supposed to tear open. Yeah, okay.

A must have for IBS-D

Kenny - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
A must for anyone with IBS-D or other gastrointestinal issues. I take as directed at the first sign of diarrhea and I rarely have to take a second one. It’s fast working as well. I keep them on hand in the house as well as a first aid/road trip kit in my vehicle so I’m never without. I definitely recommend making a road trip kit for your car and include things like this, gas relief and multiple motion sickness options and puke bags. I haven’t needed my road side kit often, but when I did it was so handy that friends complimented it lol.

The medicine works great if you can get it out of the package! My wife and I both were struggling to open the package. Terrible! We shouldn't have to use scissors to cut open a pill package. Please make the packaging better!

Don’t use if you have lactose intolerance. Lactose is the first ingredient. It’s not labeled anywhere except ingredients that it has dairy in it.

The price has increased a dollar in the past six months. As someone who has Crohn's disease, this used to be the most affordable way to get treatment when my system was running fast. It no longer is.

Unfortunately, these are no longer labeled gluten free! I've bought this brand for years because of Celiac Disease and needing medication that is gluten free and safe for me. Target did this with their generic verison of Zyrtec too. VERY dissapointing!!!
What a Pain

Tannis Anyone - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
The tablets themselves work marvelously. I take them daily and they do their job. However, the packaging is an absolute abomination. These used to come in bottles, a gift to chronic diarrhea sufferers like myself. I believe the switch to blister packs is to prevent abuse. I cannot imagine it’s an effective solution. What it is actually effective at is preventing chronic diarrhea sufferers from accessing a medication they desperately need, particularly those of us with loss of dexterity in our hands. I am plagued by the difficulty in opening this medicine daily. Because of this, I now need to consider adding a daily pain reliever for my hands. If the law now requires you to package loperamide this way, will you please lobby on behalf of legitimate users to get this back in bottles? Also, why has the price nearly doubled? I’ve used this brand for years, but may now seek an alternative, as it is not a bargain at this price. They should be heavily discounted to offset the ibuprofen needed after trying to open them.
