Overview Lexigut Syrup

Lactulose syrup is a sugar-based medication used to relieve constipation. Acting as a laxative, it softens stool by increasing bowel water content. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder marked by confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Lactulose syrup may be taken with or without food, always as directed by your physician. For optimal results, take it consistently at the same time(s) daily. Dosage adjustments may be necessary depending on efficacy. Never exceed the prescribed dose, and avoid doubling up on missed doses. Effects typically manifest within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists after three days. Nausea and vomiting are common, usually mild and transient. Serious side effects, including severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances, are possible; seek immediate medical attention if these occur. Inform your doctor of any diabetes or lactose intolerance before use. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium, sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives, and consult your doctor regarding pregnancy or breastfeeding.
