Overview Lactuwin 6gm Syrup

Sorbitol 6g Syrup, a laxative, is a sugar-based medication used to relieve constipation by increasing bowel water content, facilitating stool passage. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver condition marked by confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. This syrup may be administered with or without food, strictly as prescribed. Consistent daily usage at the same time(s) is recommended for optimal effects; dosage adjustments may be necessary. Never exceed the recommended dose, and avoid doubling up on missed doses. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your physician if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, usually transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are less frequent but necessitate immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (potassium, sodium, etc.). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical advice before use.
