Overview Lactivig Syrup

Lactulose syrup, a sugar-based laxative, relieves constipation by drawing fluid into the bowels, softening stools for easier passage. It's also prescribed for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder causing cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Lactulose syrup can be administered with or without food, strictly as directed by your physician. Consistent daily use at the same time(s) maximizes efficacy. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Never exceed the prescribed dose, and avoid doubling up on missed doses. The laxative effect typically takes at least two days to manifest. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, usually transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Serious side effects like severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are less frequent but necessitate immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor of any pre-existing diabetes or lactose intolerance before starting this medication. Prolonged use might require periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (such as potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives, and consult your doctor regarding pregnancy or breastfeeding.
