Lactulose (10gm)

Overview Hilact Oral Solution

Lactulose oral solution, a sugar-based medication, effectively treats constipation by acting as a laxative. It softens stool, facilitating passage, by drawing fluid into the bowel. This solution is also prescribed for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder characterized by confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Lactulose can be administered with or without food, strictly adhering to your physician's instructions. Consistent daily use at the same time(s) maximizes efficacy. Dosage adjustments may be necessary depending on response. Never exceed the prescribed amount; missed doses should not be doubled. Expect a minimum 48-hour onset of action. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Nausea and vomiting are common, usually mild and transient. Severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are possible, though rare; seek immediate medical attention if these occur. Inform your physician about diabetes or lactose intolerance before commencing treatment. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (potassium, sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before using this medication.
