Overview Lactudos Oral Solution
Lactulose Oral Solution, a sugar-based laxative, relieves constipation by increasing bowel water content, facilitating easier stool passage. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder causing cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced alertness. Lactulose can be administered with or without food, strictly as prescribed. Consistent daily dosing at the same time(s) maximizes efficacy; dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Avoid exceeding the recommended dose; missed doses should not be doubled. Onset of action is typically 48 hours. Consult your physician if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, generally mild and transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Serious adverse effects such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances warrant immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any 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 contraindicated; pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before use.
