Overview Saflooz 10mg Syrup

Lactulose 10mg Syrup, a sugar-based laxative, relieves constipation by drawing fluid into the bowels, facilitating bowel movements. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder manifesting as confusion, tremors, and altered consciousness. This syrup may be administered with or without food, always as directed by your physician. Consistent daily usage at the same time(s) maximizes effectiveness. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Never exceed the prescribed dose, and avoid doubling up on missed doses. Onset of action is typically within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond 72 hours. Nausea and vomiting are common, usually mild and transient. Severe diarrhea or electrolyte imbalances are less frequent but require immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor of any diabetes or lactose intolerance prior to use. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (potassium, sodium). Concurrent use with other laxatives is contraindicated. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical advice before use.
