Overview Lactoliv Syrup

Lactulose syrup is a sugar-based medication employed to alleviate constipation. Acting as a laxative, it softens stool by drawing fluid into the intestines. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder characterized by cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced alertness. Lactulose syrup may be ingested with or without food, always adhering to your physician's prescribed dosage. Consistent daily use at the same time(s) maximizes efficacy. Dosage adjustments may occur based on therapeutic response. Exceeding the recommended dose is contraindicated; missed doses should not be doubled. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Nausea and vomiting are common, generally mild, and self-limiting. Severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are potential, albeit infrequent, adverse effects requiring 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 (such as potassium and sodium). Concurrent use of other laxatives is discouraged. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical advice before using this medication.
