  • Acute diarrhoea makes you lose more fluids and salt than you usually would and can make you dehydrated. This medicine only treats the diarrhoea symptoms and so will not rehydrate you. You should ensure that you drink plenty of fluids, and you may also want to take an oral rehydration therapy, which is a soluble powder containing sugars and salts, to help rehydrate you. This is particularly important for frail and elderly people and children. Rehydration salts can be bought from pharmacies.
    
    
  • If you are taking Imodium to control episodes of diarrhoea associated with irritable bowel syndrome diagnosed by your doctor, you should return to your doctor if the pattern of your symptoms changes. You should also return to your doctor if your symptoms continue for more than two weeks, or you need continuous treatment for more than two weeks.

  Directions
  
  
• Directions:Hedrin Lotion should be applied to the scalp and rubbed into dry hair from the roots to the tips until all the hair is moistened. The best way to do this, particularly with with long hair, is to make a small parting and apply a few drops of the lotion along the hair, then spread this evenly along the length of the hair. Repeat the process with numerous other small sections until the whole scalp has been covered. Leave the hair to dry naturally in a warm but well ventilated room (don't use a hairdryer). After 8 hours, or the next day if preferred, the dead lice can be shampooed or brushed out. Any nits (empty egg cases) can be removed with the fingers or a fine toothed nit comb.
