Overview Duxlac 10gm Syrup

Lactulose 10gm syrup, a sugar-based laxative, alleviates constipation by increasing bowel water content, facilitating stool passage. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver condition characterized by cognitive impairment, tremors, and altered consciousness. This syrup may be consumed with or without food, always adhering to your physician's prescribed dosage and schedule for optimal results. Dosage adjustments may occur based on efficacy. Avoid exceeding the recommended dose; missed doses should not be doubled. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, generally mild, side effects include nausea and vomiting, typically resolving within a few days. Severe diarrhea or electrolyte imbalances are rarer but necessitate immediate medical attention. Prior to use, inform your doctor about diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use may require periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (potassium, sodium, etc.). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before use.
