Lactulose (10gm)

Overview Lactodor Syrup

Lactulose syrup, a sugar-based laxative, alleviates constipation by drawing fluid into the intestines, facilitating bowel movements. It's also prescribed for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder characterized by cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced alertness. Lactulose syrup can be administered with or without food, always as directed by your physician. Consistent daily use at the same time(s) optimizes its effects; dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Exceeding the prescribed dose is inadvisable; missed doses shouldn't be doubled. Onset of action takes at least two days. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, typically transient side effects include nausea and vomiting. Severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are potential, though less frequent, adverse reactions; seek immediate medical attention if these occur. Prior to initiating treatment, inform your doctor of any existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium, sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives, and consult your physician regarding pregnancy or breastfeeding.
