Lactulose (10gm)

Overview Heptilose Oral Solution

Lactulose oral solution is a sugar-based medication employed in the treatment of constipation. Acting as a laxative, it softens stool by drawing fluid into the intestines, facilitating easier bowel movements. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder marked by confusion, tremors, and reduced alertness. Lactulose can be administered with or without food, always as directed by your physician. Consistent daily use at the same time(s) optimizes effectiveness. Dosage adjustments may occur based on response. Never exceed the prescribed amount, and avoid doubling doses to compensate for missed ones; its effects typically begin 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. Serious adverse reactions, such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances, warrant immediate medical attention. Prior to initiating treatment, inform your physician of 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 doctor regarding use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
