Overview Lomofar 2mg Capsule

Lomafar 2mg capsules treat diarrhea. However, avoid use if you experience bloody diarrhea (dysentery). Take the capsules as prescribed by your physician, with or without food, for the full recommended duration. Premature discontinuation may lead to symptom recurrence and condition exacerbation. Inform your doctor of all other medications you are taking, as interactions may occur. Headache, nausea, and constipation are common, usually temporary side effects. Report any concerning side effects immediately. Dizziness is possible; avoid driving or mentally demanding tasks until its effects are known. Alcohol should be avoided due to potential increased drowsiness. Since diarrhea causes dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, maintain adequate fluid intake. Refrain from using Lomafar if you have blood in your stool or severe constipation.
