How Does It Work?

Interactions with other medicines

• Some medicines can affect the way Looz oral solution works or this medicine itself can reduce the effectiveness of other medicines taken at the same time.
• Inform your doctor about all the medicines, supplements, or herbals you are currently taking or might take to avoid any possible interaction.
• Looz oral solution may increase the loss of potassium caused by other medicines like thiazides (used to treat fluid accumulation and high blood pressure), steroids (used to treat inflammation), and amphotericin B (used to treat fungal infections).
• The use of this medicine with cardiac glycosides like digitalis (used for the treatment of heart failure) can increase the effect of the glycosides by causing potassium deficiency.
• By increasing the dosage of Looz oral solution, a decrease in pH value of the colon occurs which may inactivate those medicines which are released in the colon (like 5-ASA used for treating inflammatory bowel disease).
