Overview Uvlax Syrup

Lactulose syrup is a sugary medicine used to relieve constipation. Acting as a laxative, it softens stools by increasing bowel water content. It's also prescribed for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver condition causing cognitive impairment, tremors, and reduced alertness. Lactulose syrup can be taken with or without food, always as directed by your physician. For optimal results, take it consistently at the same time(s) daily. Dosage may be adjusted based on effectiveness. Never exceed the prescribed amount, and avoid doubling up on missed doses. The effect takes at least two days to appear. Consult your doctor if constipation persists after three days. The most frequent side effects are nausea and vomiting, typically mild and short-lived. Serious side effects, including severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances, are rare but warrant immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor of any diabetes or lactose intolerance before starting treatment. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use with other laxatives, and consult your doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding.
