Overview Farlact Oral Solution

Lactulose Oral Solution, a sugar-based medication, effectively treats constipation by acting as a laxative, softening stools through increased bowel water retention. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder marked by cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced alertness. Lactulose may be consumed with or without food, always adhering to your physician's prescribed dosage. Consistent daily use at the same time(s) maximizes therapeutic effect; dosage adjustments may be necessary depending on response. Never exceed the recommended dose, and avoid doubling up on missed doses. Onset of action typically requires at least two days. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, usually transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Serious side effects such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances require immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor about diabetes or lactose intolerance prior to commencing treatment. Prolonged use might necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (such as potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives and consult your doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding.
