Lactulose (10gm)

Overview Coles Syrup

Lactulose syrup is a sugar-based medication employed to alleviate constipation. Acting as a laxative, it facilitates bowel movements by increasing stool water content. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder manifesting as confusion, tremors, and reduced alertness. Lactulose syrup can be administered with or without food, always following your physician's instructions. Consistent daily dosing at the same time(s) maximizes effectiveness. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Never exceed the prescribed amount; missed doses should not be doubled. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Nausea and vomiting are common, usually mild and transient. Serious side effects, such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances, are rare but necessitate immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor of diabetes or lactose intolerance before starting treatment. Prolonged use may require periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives and consult your physician regarding pregnancy or breastfeeding.
