Overview Looz Oral Solution

Lactulose Oral Solution, a sugar-based laxative, effectively treats constipation by increasing bowel water content, facilitating easier stool passage. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver condition characterized by cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Lactulose may be administered with or without food, always as directed by your physician. Consistent daily use at the same time(s) maximizes effectiveness; dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Never exceed the prescribed dose, and avoid doubling up on missed doses. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, usually transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Serious adverse reactions such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances require immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor about diabetes or lactose intolerance before commencing treatment. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (potassium, sodium, etc.). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives, and consult your physician if pregnant or breastfeeding.
