Lactulose (10gm)

Overview Betalose Oral Suspension

Lactulose oral solution is a sugar-based medication employed to alleviate constipation. Functioning as a laxative, it softens stool by increasing bowel water content. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver condition manifesting as confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Lactulose can be administered with or without food, strictly as prescribed by your physician. Consistent daily usage at the same time(s) optimizes efficacy. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Avoid exceeding the recommended dose; missed doses should not be doubled. The onset of effect is typically 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, generally mild and transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Serious adverse events, such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances, warrant immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any pre-existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium and sodium). Concurrent use of other laxatives is contraindicated. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before using this medication.
