Lactulose Solution USP Syrup

Lactulose Solution USP Syrup is a medication primarily used to treat constipation and manage liver-related conditions, such as hepatic encephalopathy. Lactulose is a synthetic sugar that works by drawing water into the bowel, which softens stools and promotes bowel movements. In cases of hepatic encephalopathy, it helps reduce the absorption of toxins (like ammonia) that can accumulate in the bloodstream due to liver dysfunction.

The syrup is typically taken orally and may take 24 to 48 hours to show its full effect for constipation. For liver conditions, it may be used long-term under a healthcare provider's supervision.
