Overview Lactokil 10gm Syrup

Lactulose 10g syrup, a sugar-based laxative, alleviates constipation by drawing fluid into the intestines, softening stool for easier passage. It's also prescribed for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder causing mental confusion, tremors, and reduced alertness. Lactulose 10g syrup may be administered with or without food, strictly as directed by your physician. Consistent daily use at the same time(s) maximizes effectiveness; dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Avoid exceeding the recommended dose; missed doses should not be doubled. Onset of action typically takes at least two days. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, usually transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Serious side effects such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances warrant immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor about any pre-existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium, sodium). Avoid concurrent use of other laxatives and consult your doctor regarding use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
