class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Lomudal GI and what is it used for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lomudal GI contains the active substance sodium cromoglycate and is used in case of food allergy and\/or difficulty in tolerating certain foods.\u00a0Lomudal GI can be used for both treatment of children (from 2 years and up) and adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mode of action is not clear.\u00a0The treatment should take place in combination with the most important foods that cause symptoms to be removed from the diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before using Lomudal GI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Lomudal GI:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to sodium cromoglycate or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Lomudal GI:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy and breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pregnancy<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No adverse effects on the fetus have been demonstrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Breast-feeding<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lomudal GI passes into breast milk, but there is no information to suggest that breastfeeding women&#8217;s use of Lomudal GI would have adverse effects on the baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lomudal GI has no or negligible effect on the ability to drive and use machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Descriptions of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use Lomudal GI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you.&nbsp;Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dose&nbsp;one is determined by the doctor, who will tailor it individually for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recommended starting dose is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For adults: 10 ml (200 mg) 4 times daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For children 2-14 years: 5 ml (100 mg) 4 times daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After starting treatment, it can take up to a couple of weeks before you feel better.\u00a0It is therefore important to follow the doctor&#8217;s\u00a0prescription\u00a0and not to interrupt treatment or change the\u00a0dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Instructions for use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turn off the top of the single-dose container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lomudal GI can be taken directly into the mouth or mixed with water or juice.\u00a0The medicine should be taken about 15 minutes before a meal and should be rinsed around the mouth before swallowing, to avoid possible absorption of allergens via the oral\u00a0mucosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible side effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all medicines, this medicine can cause\u00a0side effects,
