Overview
Lomide 2mg Capsule is a capsule with Loperamide hydrochloride 2mg declared as its active content. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.
This is a non-prescription product and can be purchased without a prescription. Only product, safety and handling details are published on this page.
An online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor or pharmacist is available for this product, and a registered pharmacist reviews each order before dispatch to Malaysia or Singapore. Follow the directions on the label and on the leaflet inside the pack.
Directions for Use
Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Lomide 2mg is usually taken at the start of an episode of diarrhoea, with further doses after each subsequent loose stool, up to the maximum daily amount stated on the label. Continue to drink plenty of fluids, ideally with an oral rehydration solution, while symptoms last.
Dosage
For adults, a common regimen is two capsules (4mg) taken at the onset of diarrhoea, followed by one capsule (2mg) after each loose stool, without exceeding the maximum daily dose stated on the packaging. Do not use for more than 48 hours without medical advice, and stop immediately if diarrhoea is accompanied by blood, mucus, or a high fever. Not recommended for children without medical advice.
Shelf Life
Lomide 2mg Capsule is typically stable for up to 36 months from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly. Check the expiry date on the packaging before use.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep in the original packaging, out of the reach and sight of children.
Side Effects
- Constipation
- Abdominal cramping or bloating
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Dry mouth
- Tiredness or drowsiness
- Skin rash (uncommon)
- Bowel blockage (paralytic ileus) with overuse or in susceptible individuals (rare)
Contraindications
- Do not use if diarrhoea is bloody or accompanied by a high fever, as this may indicate a bacterial infection (such as dysentery) that loperamide can make worse
- Not recommended for young children without medical advice
- Avoid in acute flare-ups of ulcerative colitis or other inflammatory bowel disease unless directed by a doctor
- Known hypersensitivity to loperamide
- Use with caution in patients with liver impairment
Drug / Food Interactions
- Caution when combined with other medicines that slow the central nervous system, as effects may add up
- Medicines such as quinidine and ritonavir can raise loperamide levels in the blood, increasing the risk of side effects
- Avoid alcohol, which can worsen dizziness and dehydration during a diarrhoeal illness
- Continue oral rehydration fluids alongside loperamide — it treats the symptom of loose stools, not fluid loss
Quick Tips
- Drink plenty of fluids or an oral rehydration solution to replace lost water and salts
- Stop taking Lomide and seek medical care if diarrhoea persists beyond 48 hours, or if it worsens
- Seek medical care promptly if you notice blood in the stool, high fever, or severe abdominal pain
- Do not give to young children without first seeking medical advice
- Avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel dizzy or drowsy

Why is there no information here about what Lomide 2mg Capsule is for?
This page is limited to product, safety and handling information in line with Malaysian rules on medicine information. If you want advice on whether this product suits you, book an online consultation with a doctor or pharmacist on DoctorOnCall.
How should I use Lomide 2mg Capsule?
Use it exactly as stated on the pack label, without changing the amount or how often you use it. If anything on the label is unclear, check with a pharmacist before the first use, and read the Directions for Use section on this page.
Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about Lomide 2mg Capsule before I buy it?
Yes. DoctorOnCall offers online consultations with licensed doctors and registered pharmacists, so you can ask about this product, your existing medicines, or anything on the label before you place an order.
How should I store Lomide 2mg Capsule?

What should I do if I notice side effects after using Lomide 2mg Capsule?
Stop using the product and speak to a doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you. Seek medical care immediately for signs of a severe reaction such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips or throat, or a widespread rash. Reported reactions are listed in the Side Effects section on this page.
How long will delivery take?
Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
What payment methods can I use?
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Can Lomide 2mg Capsule be delivered to Singapore?
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Is Lomide 2mg Capsule registered with the authorities?
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.

Relevant Information
Loperamide relieves the symptom of loose, frequent stools but does not treat the underlying cause of diarrhoea, so persistent or recurring diarrhoea should be properly assessed by a doctor. Never exceed the labelled maximum dose, as doing so has been linked to serious heart rhythm problems; if diarrhoea is severe, bloody, associated with high fever, or lasts beyond 48 hours, stop self-treatment and seek medical attention.
