Yes, it seems to be, but that may be due partly because paregoric is only
availble by prescription today, while Immodium is OTC. One used to be able
to simply sign for paregoric at a pharmacy. Paregoric soothed an upset
stomach much more quickly than Immodium. It also worked wonders when
swabbed on an aching tooth. Ya can't do that with Immodium. :-)
