Overview Agrolac Suspension

Lactulose Suspension is a sugar-based medication used to alleviate constipation. Functioning as a laxative, it softens stools by increasing bowel water content. It's also employed in managing hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder characterized by confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Lactulose Suspension may be administered with or without food, always as directed by your physician. For optimal results, take it consistently at the same time(s) daily. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on its effectiveness. Never exceed the prescribed dose, and avoid doubling up on missed doses. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. The most frequent side effects are nausea and vomiting, usually mild and transient. Rarely, serious adverse effects like severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances may occur; seek immediate medical attention if these develop. Inform your doctor prior to use if you have diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives, and consult your physician regarding use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
