How should I use this medication?

Take Lumakras exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to take it. Do not change your dose or stop taking Lumakras unless your healthcare provider tells you to.

Take Lumakras tablets 1 time each day, at about the same time each day.

If you cannot swallow the tablets whole:

Place your daily dose in a glass of 4 ounces (120 mL) of non-carbonated, room temperature water without crushing the tablets. Do not use any other liquids.

Stir until the tablets are in small pieces (the tablets will not completely dissolve). The color of the mixture may be pale yellow to bright yellow.

Drink the tablet and water mixture right away or within 2 hours of preparing. Do not chew pieces of the tablet.

Rinse the glass with an additional 4 ounces (120 mL) of water and drink to make sure that you have taken the full dose.

If you do not drink the mixture right away, stir the mixture again before drinking.

If you take an antacid medicine, take Lumakras either 4 hours before or 10 hours after the antacid.

If you vomit after taking a dose, do not take an extra dose. Take your next dose at your regularly scheduled time the next day.

What if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose of Lumakras, take the dose as soon as you remember. If it has been more than 6 hours, do not take the dose. Take your next dose at your regularly scheduled time the next day. Do not take 2 doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.

Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.
