Overview Lactofresh Syrup

Lactulose syrup, a sugar-based laxative, effectively relieves constipation by increasing bowel water content, facilitating stool passage. It's also prescribed for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver condition characterized by cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Lactulose syrup can be administered with or without food, strictly as directed by your physician. Consistent daily dosing at the same time(s) maximizes therapeutic effects; dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Avoid exceeding the prescribed amount; missed doses should not be doubled. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists after 72 hours. Common, usually transient side effects include nausea and vomiting. Serious adverse events like severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances warrant immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any pre-existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium, sodium). Concurrent use of other laxatives is contraindicated; pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before use.
