Overview Lactovax 10gm Syrup

Lactulose 10g syrup, a sugar-based laxative, relieves constipation by increasing bowel water content, facilitating easier stool passage. It's also used to manage hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder causing altered mental status. Lactulose syrup can be administered with or without food, always following your doctor's instructions. Consistent daily dosing at the same time(s) maximizes effectiveness. Dosage adjustments may occur based on response. Never exceed the prescribed dose; missed doses should not be doubled. The onset of action is at least 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists after 72 hours. Nausea and vomiting are common, usually mild, and self-limiting. Serious side effects, including severe diarrhea and electrolyte disturbances, warrant immediate medical attention. Inform your physician about diabetes or lactose intolerance before initiating treatment. Prolonged use may require periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use of other laxatives. Consult your doctor regarding use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
