Overview Lecton 10gm Oral Solution

Lactulose 10g oral solution, a sugar-based laxative, relieves constipation by drawing fluid into the bowels, facilitating stool passage. It's also prescribed for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder characterized by confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. This medication can be administered with or without food, always as directed by your physician. Consistent daily use, ideally 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 onset of action is typically 48 hours or more. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, generally mild, side effects include nausea and vomiting, usually resolving within a few days. Severe diarrhea or electrolyte imbalances are less frequent but necessitate immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use might necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives, and seek medical advice before using this medication during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
