Overview Evalex Syrup

Lactulose syrup, a sugar-based laxative, effectively relieves constipation by increasing bowel water content, facilitating stool passage. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder marked by cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced alertness. Lactulose can be administered with or without food, strictly as prescribed by your physician. Consistent daily usage at the same time(s) maximizes therapeutic effect; dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Exceeding the recommended dose is inadvisable; missed doses should not be doubled. Onset of action typically requires at least 48 hours. Persistent constipation beyond three days warrants medical consultation. Nausea and vomiting, generally mild and transient, are common side effects. Severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances represent potential serious adverse reactions, demanding immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium, sodium). Concomitant use of other laxatives is contraindicated. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical guidance before using this medication.
