Lactulose (NA)

Overview Dulax 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 in the management of hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder characterized by cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Lactulose syrup can be administered with or without food, always as directed by your physician. Consistent daily use at the same time(s) maximizes effectiveness. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Never exceed the prescribed amount, and avoid doubling doses to compensate for missed ones. The onset of action is typically 48 hours or more. 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 less frequent but require immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor about diabetes or lactose intolerance before initiating treatment. Long-term use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives, and consult your physician before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
