in adults imodium can be taken up to four times a day for two days for the managment of diarrhea. it will likely remain in your system for at least a half-day but the effects of this drug are not the same in all people. some people require taking this medication after each loose bowel movement (up to four times a day) while others may not need such a high dose. any beneficial response would likely be highly individualized. if your surgeon recommended this medication for your particular condition he/she would likely be the best source for a patient-specific recommendation.
