Isingeniso

Sonke besikhona. Noma ngabe sivela embungwini yesisu noma kucezwana olungajwayelekile esisampulile eMorocco, sonke siye saba nohudo. Futhi sonke besifuna ukukulungisa. Yilapho i-Imodium ingasiza khona.

I-Imodium ngumuthi osebenzisa i-over-the-counter (OTC) osetshenziselwa ukudambisa isifo sohudo noma uhudo lwabahambi. Imininingwane elandelayo ingakusiza unqume ukuthi i-Imodium iyisinqumo esihle yini sokukusiza uzizwe ungcono.

Mayelana ne-Imodium

Imvamisa, imisipha emathunjini akho iyaqhuma futhi ikhululeke ngejubane elithile. Lokhu kusiza ukuhambisa ukudla noketshezi ngohlelo lwakho lokugaya ukudla. Phakathi nale nqubo, amathumbu amunca amanzi nezakhi ekudleni okudlayo.

Kepha ngohudo, imisipha iyashesha ukushesha. Lokhu kuhambisa ukudla ngohlelo lwakho ngokushesha okukhulu. Amathumbu akho awamunci inani elijwayelekile lezakhamzimba noketshezi. Lokhu kubangela ukuhamba kwamathumbu amanzi amakhulu futhi avame kakhulu kunokujwayelekile. Iphinde inyuse inani loketshezi nama-electrolyte alahlekelwa ngumzimba wakho. Ama-electrolyte ngosawoti umzimba odinga ukusebenza kahle. Ukuba namazinga aphansi kakhulu oketshezi nama-electrolyte kungaba yingozi. Lesi simo sibizwa ngokuthi ukuphela kwamanzi emzimbeni.

Isithako esisebenzayo ku-Imodium yisidakamizwa i-loperamide. Isebenza ngokwenza imisipha emathunjini akho ithole kancane. Lokhu-ke kubambezela ukuhamba kokudla noketshezi ngomgudu wakho wokugaya ukudla, okuvumela amathumbu ukuthi amunce uketshezi oluningi nezakhamzimba. Le nqubo yenza ukunyakaza kwakho kwamathumbu kube kuncane, kuqine ngokwengeziwe, futhi kungabi njalo. Kubuye kunciphise inani loketshezi nama-electrolyte alahlekelwa ngumzimba wakho.

Amafomu nomthamo

I-Imodium iyatholakala njenge-caplet kanye noketshezi. Zombili lezi zinhlobo zithathwa ngomlomo. Lawa mafomu kufanele angasetshenziswa isikhathi esingeqile ezinsukwini ezimbili. Kodwa-ke, i-caplet iyatholakala futhi kwifomu kadokotela elingasetshenziswa isikhathi eside. Ifomu lamandla kadokotela lisetshenziselwa ukwelapha isifo sohudo esidalwa yizifo zokugaya ukudla ezifana nesifo samathumbu esivuthayo.

Umthamo onconyiwe we-Imodium usekelwe kubudala noma isisindo.

Abantu abadala nezingane ezineminyaka engu-12 noma ngaphezulu

Umthamo onconyiwe ngu-4 mg ukuqala, kulandelwe u-2 mg kusitokisi ngasinye esivulekile esenzeka ngemuva kwalokho. Ungathathi ngaphezu kuka-8 mg ngosuku.

Izingane ezingaphansi kweminyaka engu-12

Isikali kufanele sisekelwe esisindweni. Uma isisindo somntwana singaziwa, isilinganiso kufanele sisekelwe eminyakeni yobudala. Uma usebenzisa isisindo noma ubudala, sebenzisa imininingwane elandelayo:

• Izingane ezingamakhilogremu angama-60-95 (iminyaka eyi-9-11): 2 mg ukuqala, bese kuba ngu-1 mg ngemuva kwesitulo ngasinye esivulekile esenzeka ngemuva kwalokho. Ungathathi ngaphezu kuka-6 mg ngosuku.
• Izingane ezingama-48-59 amakhilogremu (iminyaka engu-6-8): 2 mg ukuqala, bese kuba ngu-1 mg ngemuva kwesitulo ngasinye esivulekile esenzeka ngemuva kwalokho. Ungathathi ngaphezu kuka-4 mg ngosuku.
• Izingane ezingama-29-47 amakhilogremu (iminyaka engu-2-5): Sebenzisa i-Imodium kuphela ngeseluleko sikadokotela wengane yakho.
• Izingane ezingaphansi kweminyaka emibili: Unganiki i-Imodium ezinganeni ezingaphansi kweminyaka engu-2 ubudala.

Okuqhamuka uma udla imishanguzo

Imodium ngokuvamile ibekezelelwa kahle ngabantu abaningi. Kodwa-ke, kwesinye isikhathi kungadala imiphumela emibi ethile.

Imiphumela emibi ejwayelekile

Imiphumela emibi ejwayelekile ye-Imodium ingafaka:

• ukuqunjelwa
• isiyezi
• ukukhathala
• ikhanda
• isicanucanu
• ukuhlanza
• umlomo owomile

Imiphumela emibi kakhulu

Imiphumela emibi ye-Imodium ayivamile. Shayela udokotela wakho ngokushesha uma unokunye kwalokhu okulandelayo:

• Ukusabela okweqile komzimba, ngezimpawu ezinjengalezi:
  • ukuqhuma okukhulu
  • inkinga yokuphefumula
  • ukuvuvukala kobuso noma izingalo

• Ileus ekhubazekile (ukungakwazi kwamathumbu ukuhambisa imfucuza emzimbeni. Lokhu kwenzeka kakhulu ezimweni zokudlula ngokweqile noma ezinganeni ezingaphansi kweminyaka engu-2). Izimpawu zingafaka:
  • ukuvuvukala kwesisu
  • ubuhlungu esiswini

Ukusebenzisana kwezidakamizwa

I-Imodium ihlangana nezidakamizwa ezithile ezehla emzimbeni ngendlela efanayo. Ukusebenzisana kungaholela emazingeni akhuphukile emithi emzimbeni wakho. I-Imodium ibuye ihlanganyele nezinye izidakamizwa ezilwa nohudo noma imishanguzo ebangela ukuqunjelwa.

Ezinye izibonelo zemithi engasebenzisana ne-Imodium zifaka:

• i-atropine
• alosetron
• i-diphenhydramine
• erythromycin
• i-fenofibric acid
• metoclopramide
• imishanguzo yobuhlungu be-narcotic efana ne-morphine, i-oxycodone, ne-fentanyl
• quinidine
• izidakamizwa ze-HIV i-saquinavir ne-ritonavir
• sibongile

Izexwayiso

Imodium yimithi ephephile kubantu abaningi. Noma kunjalo, kufanele isetshenziswe ngokucophelela. Futhi kwezinye izimo, kufanele kugwenywe. Izexwayiso ezilandelayo zingakusiza ukuthi uhlale uphephile.

Izimo zokukhathazeka

Khuluma nodokotela wakho ngaphambi kokuthatha i-Imodium uma unemibandela elandelayo:

• izinkinga zesibindi
• Ingculaza ene-colitis esithathelwanayo
• ukulunywa yizilonda emathunjini
• ukutheleleka kwamagciwane emathunjini
• ukungezwani komzimba ne-Imodium

Ezinye izexwayiso

Ungathathi ngaphezu kwesilinganiso esiphezulu sansuku zonke se-Imodium. Futhi, ungathathi isikhathi esingaphezu kwezinsuku ezimbili ngaphandle kokuthi uyalelwe ngudokotela wakho ukwenza njalo. Kufanele ubone ukuthuthuka kwezimpawu zakho zingakapheli izinsuku ezimbili. Uma ungakwenzi, shayela udokotela wakho. Uhudo lwakho lungabangelwa amagciwane, igciwane, noma esinye isizathu. Lokhu kungadinga ukwelashwa ngemithi ehlukile.

Ungayithathi i-Imodium uma unegazi elindle noma elindayo. Lezi zimpawu kungenzeka zisho ukuthi kunenkinga esiswini noma emathunjini akho. Kufanele ubone udokotela wakho.

Ungalokothi uthathe i-Imodium uma unezinhlungu esiswini ngaphandle kohudo. Imodium ayivunyelwe ukwelapha ubuhlungu besisu ngaphandle kohudo. Ngokuya ngesizathu sobuhlungu bakho, ukuthatha i-Imodium kungenza izinhlungu zibe zimbi kakhulu.

Uma kwenzeka ukweqisa ngokweqile

Ukugwema ukweqisa okweqile, qiniseka ukuthi ulandela ngokucophelela imiyalo yesilinganiso kwiphakethe lakho le-Imodium. Izimpawu zokudlula ngokweqile kwe-Imodium zingafaka:

• isicanucanu
• ukuhlanza
• ukozela okukhulu
• ubuhlungu esiswini sakho
• ukuqunjelwa okukhulu

Ukukhulelwa nokuncelisa

Akwenziwe ucwaningo olwanele ukwazi ukuthi ngabe i-Imodium iphephile yini ukuthi ingasetshenziswa kwabesifazane abakhulelwe. Ngakho-ke, khuluma nodokotela wakho ngaphambi kokuthatha i-Imodium. Buza ukuthi ngabe le mithi iphephile yini ongayisebenzisa ngesikhathi ukhulelwe.

Uma uncelisa, kufanele futhi ubuze udokotela wakho ukuthi ngabe i-Imodium iphephile yini kuwe. Kuyaziwa ukuthi amanani amancane e-Imodium angadlula abe ubisi lwebele. Ucwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi akunakulimaza ingane enceliswa ibele. Kodwa-ke, kusamele uthintane nodokotela wakho ngaphambi kokusebenzisa i-Imodium.

Khuluma nodokotela wakho

Uma unemibuzo nge-Imodium, khuluma nodokotela wakho noma usokhemisi. Fonela nodokotela wakho uma izimpawu zakho ziba zimbi kakhulu noma isifo sohudo sithatha isikhathi esingaphezu kwezinsuku ezimbili.

Uhla lwemithi ye-OTC ingasiza ekwelapheni isifo sohudo. Imininingwane engenhla ingakusiza unqume ukuthi i-Imodium iyisinqumo esihle kuwe.
