Overview Megalax 10gm Syrup

Lactulose 10gm Syrup, a sugary laxative, relieves constipation by drawing fluid into the bowels, easing bowel movements. It's also prescribed for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder causing confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. This syrup may be taken with or without food, as directed by your physician. For optimal results, take it consistently at the same time(s) daily. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on effectiveness. Avoid exceeding the prescribed dose; missed doses should not be doubled. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Nausea and vomiting are common, usually mild and transient. Serious side effects, such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances, are less frequent but require immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor about diabetes or lactose intolerance before use. Prolonged use might necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor mineral levels (potassium, sodium, etc.).
