Salt Composition

Lactulose (10mg)

Overview Alcitose Oral Solution

Lactulose oral solution, a sugar-based medication, effectively treats constipation by acting as a laxative. It softens stool through increased bowel water retention. Additionally, it's prescribed for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder marked by cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced alertness. Lactulose can be ingested with or without food, always adhering to your physician's instructions. For optimal results, maintain consistent daily dosing. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on efficacy. Never exceed the recommended dose; missed doses should not be doubled. Onset of action requires at least 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, usually transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are rarer but necessitate immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your physician about any pre-existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use might necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium, sodium). Avoid concurrent use of other laxatives, and consult your doctor regarding pregnancy or breastfeeding.
