Overview Lactax 3.35gm Syrup

Lactulose 3.35gm syrup, a sugar-based laxative, relieves constipation by drawing fluid into the bowels, softening stool for easier passage. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder causing cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced alertness. Lactulose syrup may be administered with or without food, strictly as prescribed by your physician. Consistent daily dosing at the same time(s) maximizes effectiveness. Dosage adjustments may be made based on response. Never exceed the recommended dose, and avoid doubling up on missed doses. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists after 72 hours. Common, generally mild, side effects include nausea and vomiting, usually resolving within a few days. Severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are potential, though rare, adverse reactions; seek immediate medical attention if these occur. Prior to use, inform your physician of any pre-existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. Long-term use might necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (sodium and potassium, for example). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before commencing treatment.
