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.

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

Ingredients / Active Ingredients

  • Active ingredient: Loperamide hydrochloride 2mg
  • Other ingredients (excipients) as listed on the product packaging

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.
