FDA cautions against using this popular OTC medication for longer than two days.
OTC medications are normally regarded as safe when taken at the suggested dosages.
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning on one over-the-counter drug.
When taken as prescribed, the anti-diarrheal medication loperamide, frequently marketed as Imodium A-D, is regarded as safe.
However, if you haven't studied the medication's fine print, you might not be aware that you should only take loperamide for a very little length of time.
If you are using OTC loperamide and your diarrhea lasts more than two days, stop taking the medicine
