Lactulose (10gm)

Overview Lacto Suspension

Lactulose oral solution is a sugar-based medication employed to alleviate constipation. Acting as a laxative, it softens stools by increasing bowel water content. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder characterized by cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Lactulose can be administered with or without food, always following 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 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, usually mild and transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Serious side effects such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte disturbances are possible; seek immediate medical attention if these occur. Inform your doctor about diabetes or lactose intolerance prior to commencing treatment. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives, and consult your physician if pregnant or breastfeeding.
