Throughout my time with the ileostomies, I would try to take one Loperamide at least 4 times per day and sometimes 2 just before bed or when I knew I would be out for longer than normal.
Since J pouch surgery, my Surgeon said he likes Patients to work out the dosage for themselves, based on output and consistency but not to take more than 6 per day.
Currently, I tend to forget to take the Loperamide as often as I should but I still try to take at least 4 per day; especially first thing in the morning and 1 just before bed.
