1. What Lomper Oral Suspension is and what it is used for
Lomper is a medicine that belongs to the group of medicines called antihelmintics.
Lomper is indicated for the treatment of the following intestinal parasitoses, both simple and mixed: Enterobiasis (Oxyuriasis), Ascariasis, Trichuriasis, Hookworm disease, and Necatoriasis.
2. What you need to know before taking Lomper Oral Suspension
Do not take Lomper:
- if you are allergic to mebendazole or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
Warnings and Precautions
- a possible relationship has been established between the use of mebendazole and metronidazole (a medicine used to treat bacterial and protozoal infections) simultaneously and the occurrence of severe reactions (Stevens-Johnson Syndrome / Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (blisters or significant skin peeling or in the mouth, eyes, or genital-anal area, with fever)) that can be life-threatening (see section Possible Side Effects)
Children and Adolescents.
It should not be used in children under 1 year of age, as it is not known whether mebendazole is safe in these children. Cases of seizures have been reported in children (very rarely), including children under 1 year of age.
It is not recommended for use in children under 2 years of age, as mebendazole has not been sufficiently studied in these children. Your doctor will assess whether to administer it to children under two years of age, and it will only be administered if the expected benefit justifies the possible risk.
Taking Lomper with Other Medicines
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription.
The use of this medicine together with metronidazole (see Warnings and Precautions) should be avoided.
Concomitant administration with cimetidine (a medicine used to treat stomach acidity) may inhibit the metabolism of mebendazole at the hepatic level, thereby increasing plasma concentrations of the drug. Your doctor will perform the necessary checks to adjust the dose of the medicine.
Taking Lomper with Food
Lomper can be administered with or without food.
Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, and Fertility
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.
Pregnancy

Breastfeeding
If you are breastfeeding, consult your doctor first, who will decide whether you can take Lomper.
Driving and Using Machines

Lomper 20 mg/ml Oral Suspension contains sucrose, ethanol, methyl parahydroxybenzoate (E-218), and propyl parahydroxybenzoate (E-216)
This medicine contains sucrose. If your doctor has told you that you have an intolerance to certain sugars, consult with them before taking this medicine.
This medicine contains 3.75 mg of ethanol (alcohol) per milliliter. The amount in 5 ml of this medicine is equivalent to less than 1 ml of beer or 1 ml of wine.
