Overview Lactulac 3.325gm Syrup

Lactulose 3.325g syrup, a sugary laxative, relieves constipation by drawing fluid into the bowels, easing bowel movements. It's also prescribed for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver condition causing mental confusion, tremors, and reduced alertness. This syrup may be taken with or without food, always as directed by your physician. For optimal results, take it consistently at the same time(s) daily. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on effectiveness. Never exceed the prescribed amount, and avoid doubling up on missed doses; its effects take at least two days to appear. Consult your doctor if constipation persists after three days. Common, usually transient side effects include nausea and vomiting. Severe diarrhea or electrolyte imbalances warrant immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor about diabetes or lactose intolerance before use. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor mineral levels (potassium, sodium, etc.).
