Overview Lactunet Syrup

Sorbitol Syrup, a laxative, is a sugar-based medication used to relieve constipation by increasing bowel water content, facilitating easier bowel movements. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder characterized by confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Sorbitol Syrup may be administered with or without food, always as directed by your physician. Consistent daily usage at the same time(s) maximizes effectiveness. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Avoid exceeding the prescribed amount; missed doses should not be doubled. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists after three days. Common, usually transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are potential, albeit infrequent, adverse effects requiring immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your physician of any existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium and sodium). Concurrent use of other laxatives is contraindicated. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before use.
