Overview Cadilose Enema

Lactulose enema is a sugar-based medication employed to alleviate constipation. Its laxative action softens stools by drawing fluid into the bowel. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver condition characterized by cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced alertness. Administered rectally, it's primarily used in hospitalized patients or those unable to take oral medication. Common, usually transient, side effects include rectal irritation, nausea, and vomiting. More serious, though rare, adverse effects encompass intense abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, altered mood, and convulsions. Immediate medical attention is warranted should any of these occur. Prior to use, disclose any existing diabetes or lactose intolerance to your physician. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (such as potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives, and consult your doctor before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
