Overview Esivac Oral Solution

Lactulose Oral Solution, a sugar-based laxative, effectively treats constipation by drawing fluid into the bowels, facilitating easier stool passage. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder marked by confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Lactulose can be administered with or without food, always as directed by your physician. For optimal results, maintain a consistent daily schedule. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on efficacy. Never exceed the prescribed amount, and avoid doubling up on missed doses. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists after 72 hours. While nausea and vomiting are common, usually mild and transient side effects, severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are potential, albeit rare, adverse reactions requiring immediate medical attention. Prior to use, inform your physician of any pre-existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. Long-term use might necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium, sodium). Avoid concurrent use of other laxatives, and consult your doctor regarding use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
