Immodium AD - Is there some type of Nationwide Shortage?

pluckey

I need Immodium AD to regulate my semi colon on a daily basis.
I've been to three major chains in the last 2 weeks and not ONE immodium AD to be found. Only generic,

Is there a shortage or has someone found a way to make a new recreational drug with this too?

I don't know either, but I guess I'll be out checking today myself. If I find some, I'll send you a bottle if you need it.

Immoudinm(sp)
I usually receive it from my dr. They also prescribed Lomitol. But for back up I buy the Walmart brand and feel it works better then when is prescribed. I find myself taking 3 tablets of the geneic brand on a every day basis.

I too have taken the Walmart
I too have taken the Walmart generic brand, and I found it worked as well as Imodium.

My Best Guess
is that maybe so many people were told they are full of "it" so they took laxatives and now they can't stop!

Maybe it's not my best guess...
Store brands work just as well, look at the label, it's the same ingredients.

Hmmm - and I thought it was just the store I was in...
I needed it during a recent trip to Florida, and the shelves in a major supermarket pharmacy section had none, generic or otherwise. I finally found a single box of Immodium with antacid. Didn't work as well for me (first time I ever needed 3 pills to get things under control, and I was "going" again the next day.)

I, too, wonder what's up.

imodium
I have been to Walmart, target, Walgreens; nobody has Imodium. I went to Walmart.com and it apepars they do not even carry the product any more.

I have nOT had that
I have nOT had that experience. The generic version of Imodium does not work near as well. the generic version is full of lactose. I hate it.
