Overview Freelac Oral Solution

Lactulose Oral Solution, a sugar-based laxative, effectively treats constipation by increasing bowel water content, facilitating easier stool passage. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder characterized by cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Lactulose can be administered with or without food, always as directed by your physician. Consistent daily use at the same time(s) maximizes efficacy; dosage adjustments may occur based on response. Never exceed the prescribed amount; missed doses should not be doubled. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, generally mild and transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Serious adverse events such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances warrant immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any pre-existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical advice before using this medication.
