Overview Lactofresh Syrup

Lactulose syrup, a sugar-based laxative, alleviates constipation by drawing fluid into the intestines, facilitating bowel movements. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder characterized by cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Lactulose syrup can be administered with or without food, always as directed by your physician. Consistent daily use, ideally at the same time(s), maximizes effectiveness. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Avoid exceeding the prescribed dose, and never double 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, usually mild and transient. Severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are less frequent but necessitate immediate medical attention. Inform your physician about diabetes or lactose intolerance prior to use. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before commencing treatment.
