Overview Esivac Oral Solution

Lactulose Oral Solution, a sugar-based laxative, effectively treats constipation by drawing fluid into the bowel, thus softening stool for easier passage. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder characterized by cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced alertness. Lactulose can be administered with or without food, always as directed by your physician. Consistent daily dosing at the same time(s) maximizes efficacy. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Never exceed the prescribed amount, and do not double up on missed doses. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, usually mild and transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Serious side effects such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte disturbances are possible; seek immediate medical attention if these occur. Inform your physician prior to use if you have diabetes or lactose intolerance. Long-term use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium, sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives, and consult your doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding.
