Overview Constihep Syrup

Lactulose syrup, a sugar-based medication, effectively treats constipation by acting as a laxative. It softens stool through increased bowel water retention. This syrup is also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder characterized by confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Constihep Syrup may be administered with or without food, strictly as prescribed by your physician. For optimal results, maintain a regular dosing schedule, ideally at the same time(s) daily. Dosage adjustments may occur based on treatment efficacy. Never exceed the recommended dose, and avoid doubling up on missed doses. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists after three days. Common, generally mild, side effects include nausea and vomiting, usually resolving within a few days. Severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are rarer but necessitate immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor about existing diabetes or lactose intolerance prior to commencing treatment. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical advice before using this medication.
