Lactulose syrup is a versatile and effective laxative recommended for the treatment of constipation. The syrup is also used to treat patients suffering from hepatic encephalopathy, a condition associated with liver disease.
Lactulose syrup works by drawing water into the bowel to soften the stool, making it easier to pass and relieving constipation.
It is important to note that lactulose syrup may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with a known allergy to lactulose or those experiencing symptoms of galactosemia. Additionally, individuals with a history of kidney disease or intestinal blockage should consult a healthcare professional before taking this medication.
As with any medication, it is important to follow the recommended dosage and consult with a healthcare provider if any adverse reactions occur.
