Overview Lactulac 3.325gm Syrup

Lactulose 3.325g syrup, a saccharide-based laxative, effectively relieves constipation by drawing fluid into the bowel, facilitating stool passage. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder marked by cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced consciousness. This syrup may be administered with or without food, strictly as directed by your physician. Consistent daily dosing at the same time(s) optimizes therapeutic effect; dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Avoid exceeding the prescribed amount; missed doses should not be doubled. Onset of action typically requires at least two days. Persistent constipation after three days warrants medical consultation. Common, usually transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Serious adverse reactions, such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances, necessitate 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 (e.g., potassium, sodium). Concurrent use of other laxatives is contraindicated. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their physician before using this medication.
