Lomofen Plus Tablet is an anti-diarrheal medicine used to treat diarrhoea. It is also indicated in the treatment of diarrhoea associated with inflammatory bowel disease and in reducing the volume of discharge from ileostomies. Diarrhoea is a condition in which bowel movements are too frequent, leading to loose, watery stools. 

Lomofen Plus Tablet contains Loperamide, which works by slowing down an overactive bowel. This allows water and salts that are usually lost in diarrhoea to be absorbed by the body. Thereby, Lomofen Plus Tablet helps treat diarrhoea.

The most common side effects of Lomofen Plus Tablet are headache, nausea, and constipation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, reach out to your doctor. 

Do not take Lomofen Plus Tablet if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
