Overview Lactofab 10gm Syrup

Lactulose 10g syrup, a sugar-based laxative, effectively treats constipation by drawing fluid into the bowels, softening stools for easier passage. It's also prescribed for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder marked by confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. This syrup may be ingested with or without food, always following your physician's instructions. Consistent daily use at the same time(s) maximizes its benefits; dosage adjustments may be necessary based on effectiveness. Avoid exceeding the recommended dose, and don't double up on missed doses. Onset of action takes at least two days. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, typically mild, side effects include nausea and vomiting, usually resolving within a couple of days. However, serious adverse events such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances warrant immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor about diabetes or lactose intolerance before commencing treatment. Long-term use might necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (like potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives. Consult your doctor regarding use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
