Overview Freshcol Syrup

Lactulose syrup, a sugar-based medication, effectively treats constipation by acting as a laxative. It softens stools through increased bowel water retention. Additionally, it's used to manage hepatic encephalopathy, a liver condition characterized by cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced alertness. Lactulose can be administered with or without food, always following your physician's instructions. For optimal results, consistent daily dosing at the same time(s) is recommended. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on efficacy. 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, side effects include nausea and vomiting, usually resolving within a few days. However, severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are potential, though less frequent, adverse effects; seek immediate medical attention if these occur. Prior to use, inform your doctor about any pre-existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor mineral levels (e.g., potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives and consult your physician regarding pregnancy or breastfeeding.
