Overview Pharlax 10gm Syrup

Lactulose 10g Syrup, a sugar-based medication, effectively treats constipation by acting as a laxative, softening stool through increased bowel water retention. It's also prescribed for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder characterized by confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Lactulose 10g Syrup can be administered with or without food, strictly as directed by your physician. For optimal results, consistent daily dosing at the same time(s) is recommended. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on therapeutic response. 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. Common, generally mild, side effects include nausea and vomiting, usually resolving within a few days. However, severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are possible; seek immediate medical attention if these occur. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your physician of any pre-existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use might necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (such as potassium and sodium). Concurrently using other laxatives is contraindicated. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before use.
