Used For:

Lomotil (diphenoxylate and atropine) is primarily used to treat diarrhea, including chronic diarrhea associated with inflammatory bowel disease. It works by slowing down the movement in the gut, allowing for increased absorption of fluids and electrolytes, which helps reduce the frequency of bowel movements.

Side Effects:

• Drowsiness or dizziness.
• Dry mouth.
• Constipation.
• Nausea or vomiting.
• Rarely, allergic reactions such as rash or swelling.

Precautions:

• Use caution when driving or operating heavy machinery, as Lomotil can cause drowsiness.
• Avoid alcohol while taking this medication, as it can increase sedation.
• Not recommended for individuals with diarrhea caused by certain infections or bacterial pathogens.
• Inform your doctor if you have a history of drug abuse, liver disease, or other medical conditions before starting treatment.
• Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen, or if you experience severe abdominal pain.
