Lomotril 10DT Tablet Orange
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Lomotril 10DT Tablet Orange is a commonly prescribed medicine for the symptomatic treatment of acute diarrhea in infants and children. This medicine is usually given when diarrhea cannot be treated effectively with fluids and dietary measures. It reduces the amount of water and salts that are lost in the stools.
Give Lomotril 10DT Tablet Orange to your child orally either before or after food, preferably in addition to ORS (oral rehydration solution). Usually, it is given three times a day, but this dose will vary depending upon the child's body weight and age. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking Lomotril 10DT Tablet Orange, repeat the same dose once your child feels better. Along with taking this medicine, your child needs to drink plenty of fluids and eat a healthy balanced diet.
This medicine may cause some minor and short-term side effects such as headache, skin rash, and constipation. These episodes are temporary and subside on their own once the child’s body adapts to the medicine. However, in case they persist for long or start bothering your child, you must consult your child’s doctor without any delay.
Your child’s doctor must be aware if your child has ever had any previous episode of allergy, bowel obstruction, electrolyte imbalance, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This will guide the doctor in planning your child’s overall treatment.

FAQs
Q. How long does Lomotril 10DT Tablet Orange take to work?
Treatment with Lomotril 10DT Tablet Orange should be continued until two normal stools are passed. However, if the diarrhea does not get better after seven days of treatment you must talk to the doctor. Make sure neither to extend nor to stop the treatment by yourself without consulting your child’s doctor. Doing so may have side effects or may lead to a recurrence of symptoms.
Q. My child is one year old and is suffering from a neurological disorder. Is it safe to give Lomotril 10DT Tablet Orange?
Usually, Lomotril 10DT Tablet Orange does not enter into the central nervous system and lacks the potential to cause serious side effects such as neurotoxicity. But, since children below the age of 2 have underdeveloped membranes, there could be a chance of the medicine entering the brain and causing side effects. So, consult your child’s doctor before giving Lomotril 10DT Tablet Orange in such a condition.
Q. My child has milk intolerance. Can I give Lomotril 10DT Tablet Orange to my child?
No, children having intolerance to dairy products and milk are advised not to take this medicine as it contains lactose.
Q. My child is passing watery stools mixed with blood and is also suffering from fever. Is Lomotril 10DT Tablet Orange the right choice of treatment?
No, do not give Lomotril 10DT Tablet Orange if your child is passing stools mixed with blood or pus along with having a high body temperature (fever). These symptoms are indicative of some underlying pathology (infection) and may require some other line of treatment.
Q. My child is suffering from long-term (chronic) diarrhea. Can I give Lomotril 10DT Tablet Orange?
The use of Lomotril 10DT Tablet Orange in chronic diarrhea has not been sufficiently studied. Therefore, it is best to consult your child’s doctor before giving this medicine to your child for long-term diarrhea.
Q. What all other medicines should my child avoid while taking Lomotril 10DT Tablet Orange?
Although Lomotril 10DT Tablet Orange is not known to cause any interaction with other medicines, you should inform the doctor if your child is taking any medicine. It is best to narrate the complete medical history of your child as this will help the doctor understand your child’s needs better.
