Patient Concerns about Lomorid Products
Frequently asked questions about Lomorid Products
Q. How long does Lomorid Oral Suspension take to work?
Treatment with Lomorid Oral Suspension 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 Lomorid Oral Suspension?
Usually, Lomorid Oral Suspension 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 Lomorid Oral Suspension in such a condition.
Q. My child has milk intolerance. Can I give Lomorid Oral Suspension 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 Lomorid Oral Suspension the right choice of treatment?
No, do not give Lomorid Oral Suspension 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.
