Thanks for the info. I was actually aware of this, I was only ever taking it around once a week. maybe twice at most. It was not that effective for me though.

Take care.

It is unclear if much of it is even capable of leaving the digestive tract, limiting its sphere of action even further. Your body can become dependent on it, so be aware. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immodium
