Lactulose (10gm)

Overview Lacloz 10gm Syrup

Lactulose 10g syrup is a sugar-based medication employed to alleviate constipation. Acting as a laxative, it softens stool by increasing bowel water content. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder manifesting as confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Lactulose 10g syrup can be administered with or without food, strictly as directed by your physician. Consistent daily usage at the same time(s) maximizes effectiveness. Dosage adjustments may occur based on response. Never exceed the prescribed amount, and avoid doubling doses to compensate for missed ones; its effects take at least two days to become apparent. Persistent constipation after three days warrants medical consultation. Common, generally mild and transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. However, serious adverse reactions such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances necessitate immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any pre-existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use might necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (potassium and sodium, for example). Concurrent use of other laxatives should be avoided, and pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before use.
