Overview Mtlac Syrup

Lactulose syrup, a sugar-based laxative, relieves constipation by increasing bowel water content, facilitating stool passage. It's also employed in managing hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder characterized by cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced consciousness. This syrup may be ingested with or without food, always adhering to your physician's prescribed dosage and schedule for optimal efficacy. Dosage adjustments may occur based on treatment response. Avoid exceeding the recommended dose; missed doses shouldn't be doubled. Onset of action requires 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, such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances, necessitate immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor of any pre-existing diabetes or lactose intolerance before commencing treatment. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium and sodium). Concurrent use of other laxatives is contraindicated. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their physician before using this medication.
