Overview Lomax 2mg Capsule

Lomax 2mg capsules treat diarrhea. However, avoid use if your diarrhea includes blood (dysentery). Follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration, completing the prescribed course. Premature discontinuation may cause symptom recurrence and condition worsening. Inform your physician of all other medications you're taking, as interactions are possible. Headache, nausea, and constipation are common, usually temporary side effects. Report any concerning side effects immediately. Dizziness is also possible; avoid driving or tasks requiring concentration until its effects are known. Alcohol should be avoided due to potential increased drowsiness. Maintain adequate hydration to counter diarrhea-related fluid and electrolyte loss. Do not use this medication if you experience bloody stools or severe constipation.
