Overview Bowelac 3.325gm Syrup

Lactulose syrup (3.325gm) is a sugar-based medication employed to alleviate constipation. Acting as a laxative, it softens stool by increasing bowel water content. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder causing cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced alertness. Bowelac syrup can be administered with or without food, strictly as prescribed by your physician. For optimal results, consistent daily dosing at the same time(s) is recommended. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on efficacy. Never exceed the recommended dose, and avoid doubling up on missed doses. Onset of action is typically 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, usually transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Serious side effects 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 (such as potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their physician before use.
