Overview Pharlax 10gm Syrup

Lactulose 10gm Syrup, a sugar-based laxative, relieves constipation by drawing fluid into the bowels, easing bowel movements. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder causing altered mental status and motor dysfunction. This syrup may be consumed with or without food, always as directed by your physician. For optimal results, maintain consistent daily dosing; your prescribed amount may be adjusted based on efficacy. Avoid exceeding the recommended dosage, and do not double up on missed doses. 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 adverse effects, such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte disturbances, necessitate immediate medical attention. Inform your physician of any existing diabetes or lactose intolerance prior to use. Prolonged use may require periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before use.
