About Lomotil Tablet
Lomotil Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called antidiarrheal used to treat diarrhoea. Diarrhoea is a condition characterized by loose and watery stools with a frequent need to have a bowel movement. Symptoms include nausea, abdominal pain, cramps, bloating, dehydration, watery loose stools, and frequent urge to evacuate the bowels.
Lomotil Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Diphenoxylate (opioid agonist) and Atropine (anti-cholinergic). Diphenoxylate works by slowing down the intestinal movements, thereby makes the stools more solid and less frequent. Atropine helps to prevent involuntary muscle movements in the intestine. Atropine is added to prevent the abuse of diphenoxylate as higher doses may cause physical dependence.
You are advised to take Lomotil Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, headache, dry mouth and dizziness. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
Inform your doctor before taking Lomotil Tablet if you have a blockage in the intestines, ulcerative colitis, asthma, glaucoma, urination problems, Down’s syndrome, dehydration, liver or kidney problems. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Lomotil Tablet may cause dizziness and drowsiness, so drive only if you are alert. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Lomotil Tablet as it may cause increased dizziness and drowsiness. Lomotil Tablet should not be given to children below 13years as the safety and effectiveness have not been established.
