That is for humans. Do not give your cat human medicine. See your vet.
Otherwise, you could do serious...SERIOUS...damage to your cat's system.

Years ago, I had a cat with *serious* diarrhea problems (IBD, among other
things). Imodium in pill form worked better than anything else. The vet
showed me how much to use. Imodium is in a small caplet to begin with
(these were the even smaller caplets, not the longer ones that were first
used a few years ago). He had me shave it down to where I had a round piece
about the size of a BB. I used a very thin, very sharp kife, and I
eventually got good enough at it that I could get several of those little
"cat-size pills" out of one caplet.
Now, to reiterate what Beth wrote: first, talk to your vet. The
formulation could have changed, and it is important to be sure to use a pill
that is safe for your cat -- and to be clear about *how much* to use. It is
also important to first learn *why* you need this pill. In other words, you
need a diagnosis so you can treat the underlying cause and not just the
symptoms.
