User Reviews for Lomotil oral

I have used this product for over 20 years never had a problem with it..I have IBS..

It causes pain swallowing is it common

I have suffered from diarrhea for many years. Lomotil is the first drug that has worked very effectively for me. I started out with 8 tablets per day (2 tabs 4 x per day). I now take two tabs in the a.m. and two tabs before bedtime. I have also increased my fiber intake and my intake of water for a better health result. This drug is a life-saver!

I began taking Lomotil after colon cancer surgery resulted in diarrhea. I've taken it for 5 months along with Imodium. It works well to control the diarrhea but I have experienced lots of dreaming and my vision is blurred. I worry about long term side effects as my oncologist says I will probably have this problem the rest of my life.

Only side effect I have is dry mouth and thirst.

Tried many remedies. this is the only thing that worked for me.

it didn't do anything.

Although this medication stops my diarrhea, I have found that about 6-7 hours after taking, I have been subjected to severe vomiting, sweats & dizziness.

worked well and quickly no side effects noted.

I tried this yrs ago and it didn't work. So I was placed on 30 mg codeine and it worked well, then it started not to work so they upped the does to 60 mg of codeine. Now its not working as good as it did before. So I tried lomotil again and it seems like its working but I've also been on humira for the past yr for my crohns disease....

I have chronic diarrhea, IBS, for most of my adult life. I used to take boxes of over the counter anti-diarrhea meds. Since I have been on lomotil my life has been so much better because my symptoms are controllable.

as soon as I start getting diarrhea I take 6 pills and within 4 to 5 hrs. I have it under control. the more I eat the more diarrhea I have so I must watch my food intake if we are planning a trip.

I have been told that this drug causes cancer. Is it true?

can this medication (lomotil) be given if the patient is on Coumadin? Thank You

I have IBS and suffered from diverticulitis at one point several years ago. The constant stress of IBS on the colon ages it 2 fold. I was 27 with diverticulitis, a 50-60 y/o's disease. Lomotil was introduced to me after the bout, and with that and a bland diet I calmed my bowels down for a couple of months. As I changed my diet to better suit my condition, I have been able to regulate healthy movements, and at the first sign of an IBS bout I take a lomotil and the cycle never gets started again. IBS used to run my life, and this drug and diet and dedication to routine has helped me conquer it. Read More Read Less

It worked right away to stop my diarea

need to know how many mg I can take in a day.

I Find that 2..5 mg twice a day works fairly well. when it doesn't work (such as after a very high fiber meal) I add in one Wal Mart brand of diarrhea drug (Loperamide?). That will almost always constipate me, so it is a constant merry go round ride! as my friend says, though, at least my students don't call me "Miss Poopy Pants!"
