No, in fact, Imodium is not even a prescribed medication, it is available over the counter. However, due to reports of abuse and misuse that can also lead to heart problems, the FDA has approved changes to the packaging of Imodium (Loperamide) limiting each package to no more than 48 mg of loperamide and requiring the tablets and capsules to be packaged in individual doses.
The Federal Drug Administration has created standards for medication packaging, at most twenty-four tablets or a six-day supply. Online distributors of the medication must provide a limit of selling no more than one package per person. Warnings about heart issues as a result of overdose have also been more clearly defined on packaging of Imodium (Loperamide).
