Lactulose (10gm)

Overview Lactofrench Oral Solution

Lactulose oral solution, a specific type of sugar, serves as a laxative to alleviate constipation. Its mechanism involves drawing fluid into the bowels, facilitating easier bowel movements. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder characterized by cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced alertness. Lactulose can be administered with or without food, strictly as prescribed by your physician. Consistent daily usage, ideally at the same time(s), maximizes efficacy. Dosage adjustments may occur based on response. Never exceed the recommended dosage, and avoid doubling up on missed doses. Onset of action typically takes at least two days. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Nausea and vomiting are common, generally mild, and self-limiting. Serious side effects, such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte disturbances, though infrequent, warrant immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any pre-existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (such as potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives, and consult your physician regarding use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
