Dear patient,
You should not exceed 16 tablets of loperamide a day; nevertheless, I am concerned about the prior history of severe constipation, and these watery stools may be liquid stool that comes around hard stool; I would encourage for her to be seen by a provider who can perform an abdominal and rectal exam to make sure there is no obstruction.
Yours truly,
