Overview Laxitose Syrup

Lactulose syrup, a sugary laxative, relieves constipation by increasing bowel water content. It's also prescribed for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder causing mental confusion, tremors, and reduced alertness. Lactulose syrup may be taken with or without food, as directed by your physician. Consistent daily dosing at the same time(s) maximizes effectiveness; dosage adjustments may be necessary. Never exceed the prescribed amount, and avoid doubling up on missed doses. The laxative effect typically begins within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists after three days. Nausea and vomiting, generally mild and transient, are common side effects. Severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are less frequent but require immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor about diabetes or lactose intolerance before starting treatment. Prolonged use might necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (potassium, sodium, etc.). Avoid concurrent use of other laxatives and discuss usage with your doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding.
