Overview Lactulo 10gm Syrup

Lactulo 10gm Syrup, a sugary laxative, effectively relieves constipation by increasing bowel water content, facilitating stool passage. It also treats hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder causing mental confusion, tremors, and reduced alertness. This syrup may be ingested with or without food, strictly as prescribed by your physician. Consistent daily use, ideally at the same time(s), maximizes effectiveness. Dosage adjustments may occur based on response. Avoid exceeding the recommended amount; missed doses should not be doubled. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, typically transient side effects include nausea and vomiting. However, serious adverse reactions such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances may necessitate immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor of any pre-existing diabetes or lactose intolerance before commencing treatment. Prolonged use might require periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (potassium, sodium, etc.). Concurrent use of other laxatives is prohibited. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before use.
