Overview Lactoliv Syrup

Lactulose syrup, a sugar-based laxative, effectively relieves constipation by drawing fluid into the intestines, facilitating bowel movements. It's also prescribed for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder characterized by confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. This syrup may be ingested with or without food, always as directed by your physician. For optimal results, maintain a consistent daily schedule. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on treatment effectiveness; never exceed the prescribed amount, and avoid doubling up on missed doses. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, usually mild and transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. However, severe diarrhea or electrolyte imbalances warrant immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use might necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium, sodium). Concurrent use of other laxatives is contraindicated. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical advice before using this medication.
