Overview Lacrest Syrup

Constilac Syrup, a sugar-based laxative, alleviates constipation by drawing fluid into the intestines, facilitating bowel movements. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder marked by cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Constilac Syrup may be administered with or without food, strictly as prescribed. Consistent daily usage, ideally at the same time(s), maximizes efficacy. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Avoid exceeding the recommended dose; missed doses should not be doubled. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your physician if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, usually transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Serious adverse events such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances warrant immediate medical attention. Prior to initiating treatment, inform your doctor of any pre-existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium, sodium). Concomitant use of other laxatives is contraindicated. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their physician before use.
