Overview Lactunet Syrup

Sorbitol syrup is a sugar-based laxative used to relieve constipation by drawing fluid into the bowels, facilitating easier bowel movements. It's also employed in managing hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder causing mental confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Sorbitol syrup can be administered with or without food, always as directed by your physician. For optimal results, take it consistently at the same time(s) daily, adjusting the dosage as your doctor advises. Never exceed the prescribed amount, and avoid doubling up on missed doses. The effect typically takes at least two days to manifest. If constipation persists after three days, consult your doctor. Common, usually mild and transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Serious side effects such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are rare but warrant immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor before use if you have diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use might necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (like potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives, and consult your physician regarding pregnancy or breastfeeding.
