Lactulose (10gm)

Overview Freelax Liquid

Lactulose solution, a sugar-based medication, effectively treats constipation by drawing fluid into the bowels, thus softening stool for easier elimination. This laxative is also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder manifesting as confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Lactulose solution may be ingested with or without food, always as directed by a physician. For optimal results, consistent daily dosing at the same time(s) is recommended; however, dosage adjustments may be necessary based on efficacy. Never exceed the prescribed dose, and avoid doubling up on missed doses. The onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Nausea and vomiting are common, generally mild, and self-limiting. Severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are potential, albeit infrequent, adverse effects; seek immediate medical attention if these occur. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your physician of any pre-existing conditions such as diabetes or lactose intolerance. Long-term use might necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium and sodium). Concurrent use with other laxatives is contraindicated. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before using this medication.
