Lactulose (2.5gm/5ml)

Overview Duphalac Fiber Oral Solution

Lactulose oral solution, a sugar-based medication, effectively relieves constipation. Acting as a laxative, it softens stool by drawing fluid into the intestines. It's also prescribed for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder causing cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced alertness. Lactulose may be consumed with or without food, always following your physician's instructions. Consistent daily use at the same time(s) maximizes effectiveness. Dosage adjustments are possible based on response. Never exceed the prescribed amount, and avoid doubling up on missed doses; the effects take at least two days to appear. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Nausea and vomiting are common, usually mild and transient. Severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are rare but serious side effects requiring immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor about diabetes or lactose intolerance prior to use. Long-term 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 if pregnant or breastfeeding.
