Product introduction

Lomotil Tablet is taken with or without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The dose you are given will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. You should keep taking this medicine for as long as your doctor recommends. If you stop treatment too early your symptoms may come back and your condition may worsen. Let your healthcare team know about all other medications you are taking as some may affect, or be affected by this medicine.

The most common side effects are indigestion, constipation, dryness in mouth, cough, flushing of skin, blurred vision, confusion, difficulty in urination, and bronchoconstriction (constriction of air passages).

To overcome constipation, you should add fiber-rich foods in your diet and stay hydrated. It may also cause dizziness and drowsiness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medicine as it can worsen your dizziness.

Patient concerns

Yesterday the 30th of May, I had a stomach upset and passed loose stools 2 times in the morning. After this happened, I didn't eat anything till noon, just kept drinking water, and in the afternoon had a little curd rice. I had been to Pune was to catch a flight back to Bangalore in the evening. After I came back to Bangalore, I once again passed stools and this time it was normal. But, from today morning, I'm having a severe headache, if I bend, I'm experiencing too much head ache, in some particular angles I don't experience it. Also to control loose stools I had taken a tablet called Lomotil twice, once in the morning and once in the afternoon
