Overview Mtlac Syrup

Lactulose syrup, a sugar-based laxative, alleviates constipation by drawing fluid into the intestines, facilitating bowel movements. It's also employed in managing hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder characterized by cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Administer Lactulose syrup with or without food, strictly as prescribed by your physician. Consistent daily use, ideally at the same time(s), maximizes its effectiveness. Dosage adjustments may occur based on response. Avoid exceeding the recommended dose; missed doses shouldn't be doubled. Onset of action takes at least two days. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Nausea and vomiting are common, usually mild and transient. Serious adverse effects like severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are possible; seek immediate medical attention if these arise. Inform your doctor about diabetes or lactose intolerance before commencing treatment. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium, sodium). Concurrent use of other laxatives is contraindicated. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before use.
