Overview Exitol Granules

Lactulose granules, a sugar-based medication, are indicated for constipation relief. Their mechanism involves osmotic action, drawing fluid into the bowel to soften stool and facilitate elimination. They're also utilized in hepatic encephalopathy management and prevention. Dosage should strictly adhere to your physician's instructions; consumption can be with or without food, and mixing with water or juice is acceptable. Consistent daily use at the same time(s) optimizes efficacy. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Never exceed the prescribed amount; missed doses should not be doubled. Onset of action typically takes at least two days. Consult your doctor if constipation persists after three days. Common, generally mild and transient side effects include nausea and vomiting, potentially accompanied by illness. Adequate hydration and between-meal administration may mitigate these. Serious adverse reactions such as intense abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, altered mood, or convulsions warrant immediate medical attention. Prior to initiating Lactulose granules, inform your doctor about diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use might necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (such as potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent laxative use, and consult your doctor regarding pregnancy or breastfeeding.
