Overview Lactozom 10gm Syrup

Lactulose 10g syrup, a sugar-based laxative, alleviates constipation by drawing fluid into the intestines, facilitating bowel movements. It's also prescribed for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder marked by confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Lactulose 10g syrup can be administered with or without food, always as directed by your physician. Consistent daily use at the same time(s) maximizes efficacy; dosage adjustments may be necessary. Never exceed the recommended dose, and avoid doubling up on missed doses. Onset of action is typically 48 hours or more. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, generally mild, side effects include nausea and vomiting, usually resolving within days. Severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are less frequent but warrant immediate medical attention. Inform your physician of diabetes or lactose intolerance prior to use. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives, and consult your doctor regarding pregnancy or breastfeeding.
