Overview Purolac Syrup

Lactulose syrup, a sugar-based laxative, alleviates constipation by drawing fluid into the intestines, softening stool for easier passage. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder causing cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced alertness. Lactulose syrup can be administered with or without food, strictly as prescribed by a physician. Consistent daily use at the same time(s) maximizes effectiveness; dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Avoid exceeding the recommended dose; missed doses should not be doubled. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond 72 hours. Common, typically mild and transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Serious side effects such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte disturbances warrant immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your physician of any pre-existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. 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 seek medical advice before use.
