Overview Freshcol Syrup

Lactulose syrup, 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 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, and avoid doubling doses if one is missed; the effect typically takes at least two days. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, usually transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. However, severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are potential, albeit rare, adverse reactions requiring immediate medical attention. Prior to use, inform your doctor about diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use might necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives, and consult your doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding.
