Overview Agrolac Suspension

Lactulose oral suspension treats constipation by acting as a laxative, softening stools through increased bowel water content. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder manifesting as confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. This medication may be taken with or without food, always as directed by your physician. For optimal results, maintain a consistent daily schedule. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on efficacy. Never exceed the prescribed amount; if a dose is missed, do not double up. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, usually transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Serious adverse reactions like severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances warrant immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your physician of any existing 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; consult your doctor regarding use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
