Overview Lactusan Syrup

Lactulose syrup, a sugar-based medication, is employed to alleviate constipation. Acting as a laxative, it softens stool by increasing bowel water content. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder manifesting as confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Lactulose syrup may be ingested with or without food, strictly as prescribed by your physician. Consistent daily use at the same time(s) maximizes effectiveness; dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Avoid exceeding the recommended dose; missed doses should not be doubled. Onset of action requires at least 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Nausea and vomiting are common, usually mild and transient. Serious side effects, such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances, are less frequent but necessitate immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any 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 doctor before use.
