Like going to the drug store and going to the antihistamines section and buying Benadryl..then .going to the sleep aid isle and buying A sleep aid with diphenhydramine in it, when the two are the same...the active chemicals in Hydromet and Lomotil are different, but they act very similar....
We are trying Lomotil as of today for my Yogi who has CT if anyone is interested...had quite a mix up on the dosage but got that straightened out...I hope we can all keep sharing about what is working and what isnt for our babies.
I hope Yogi gets relief on the Lomotil! Please keep us posted!
