Overview Raflolac Syrup

Lactulose syrup, a sugar-based laxative, effectively relieves constipation by drawing fluid into the intestines, thereby softening stool for easier passage. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder characterized by cognitive impairment, tremors, and altered consciousness. Lactulose syrup can be administered with or without food, strictly as prescribed by your physician. Consistent daily use at the same time(s) optimizes efficacy; 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 within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, usually transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are rare but necessitate immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use might necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (such as potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives, and consult your doctor regarding pregnancy or breastfeeding.
