Lactulose (10mg)

Overview Novalak Oral Solution

Lactulose oral solution, a sugar-based laxative, treats constipation by increasing bowel water content, facilitating easier stool passage. It's also used to manage hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder causing cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced alertness. Lactulose can be administered with or without food, strictly as prescribed. Consistent daily use, ideally at the same time(s), maximizes effectiveness. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Never exceed the recommended dose, and avoid doubling up on missed doses. Onset of action is typically 48 hours or more. Consult your physician if constipation persists beyond three days. Nausea and vomiting are common, usually mild and transient. Serious side effects like severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are possible; seek immediate medical attention if these occur. Inform your doctor of any diabetes or lactose intolerance prior to commencing treatment. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (such as potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before use.
