Lactulose (10gm)

Overview Drofinax 10gm Syrup

Lactulose syrup (10gm) is a sugar-based medication employed to alleviate constipation. Acting as a laxative, it softens stool by drawing fluid into the bowels. 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, strictly following your physician's instructions. Consistent daily use at the same time(s) maximizes efficacy. Dosage adjustments may occur based on response. Never exceed the prescribed amount; missed doses shouldn't be doubled. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, usually transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are less frequent but necessitate immediate medical attention. Inform your physician of any pre-existing diabetes or lactose intolerance before commencing treatment. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium, sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before use.
