Overview Sonlac Syrup

Lactulose syrup is a sugar-based medication employed to alleviate constipation. Functioning as a laxative, it facilitates bowel movements by increasing intestinal water content. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder manifesting as confusion, tremors, and reduced consciousness. Lactulose syrup may be administered with or without food, strictly as prescribed by your physician. Consistent daily use, ideally at the same time(s), maximizes efficacy. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on response. Avoid exceeding the recommended dosage; missed doses should not be doubled. Onset of action typically requires at least 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Nausea and vomiting are common, usually mild and transient. Serious side effects, such as severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances, are less frequent but necessitate immediate medical attention. Prior to initiating treatment, inform your doctor 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 with other laxatives is contraindicated; pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical guidance.
