Overview Lactuzen 3.35gm Syrup

Lactulose 3.35gm syrup, a sugar-based laxative, relieves constipation by drawing fluid into the bowels, facilitating stool passage. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder causing cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced consciousness. This syrup may be taken with or without food, always as directed by your physician. For optimal results, maintain a consistent daily schedule. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on efficacy. Never exceed the prescribed amount, and avoid doubling doses if a dose is missed; the effects may take up to two days to manifest. Consult your doctor if constipation persists after three days. While nausea and vomiting are common, usually resolving within days, serious side effects like severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances necessitate immediate medical attention. Inform your physician of any pre-existing diabetes or lactose intolerance before commencing treatment. Prolonged use may require periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (sodium and potassium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives, and consult your doctor if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
