The Lilac Syp 3 35Gm 5Ml 120Ml is a pharmaceutical product that falls under the category of Lactulose-based medications. This product is formulated to provide a convenient and effective solution for individuals experiencing constipation or other related gastrointestinal issues. Lactulose, the active ingredient in this product, is a synthetic sugar that functions as an osmotic laxative. It draws water into the bowel, softens the stool, and promotes its passage.

This product relieves those seeking a gentle and reliable solution to constipation discomfort. As with any medication, following the dosing instructions and consulting with a healthcare professional if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking other medications is recommended.

Typically, for constipation in adults and children over 14 years old, the usual starting dose of Lilac Syp 3 35Gm 5Ml 120Ml is:

• 15 ml (milliliters) of Lilac Syrup (containing 3.35 grams of lactulose) orally, once daily. This can be adjusted based on individual responses. The dose may be increased or decreased as needed.

For children aged 7 to 14, the usual starting dose is:

Some potential side effects of Lactulose:

• Gastrointestinal Distress:
• Abdominal cramps
• Flatulence (gas)
• Bloating
• Diarrhea:
• Lactulose can cause loose stools or diarrhea, especially in high doses.

• Nausea and Vomiting:
• Some individuals may experience feelings of nausea and occasionally vomiting.

• Electrolyte Imbalance:
• Prolonged use of Lactulose could lead to an electrolyte imbalance, especially if diarrhea is severe.

• Dehydration:
• Diarrhea resulting from lactulose use might lead to dehydration if not properly managed.

• Abdominal Discomfort:
• Lactulose can sometimes cause general abdominal discomfort or a sense of fullness.

Lactulose is minimally absorbed into the bloodstream, so its potential for interacting with other medications is relatively low. However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:

• Other Medications: Even though the risk of drug interactions is low with Lactulose, it's still a good practice to inform your healthcare provider or pharmacist about all the medications (including prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal supplements) you are taking. This helps them assess potential interactions based on your specific medical history.

• Electrolyte Imbalance: Lactulose can cause an electrolyte imbalance in some cases. If you're taking medications that also affect electrolyte levels, such as diuretics (water pills), potassium supplements, or medications that affect sodium levels, there could be a potential for interactions. Regular monitoring and adjustments by your healthcare provider may be necessary.

• Gastrointestinal Medications: Since Lactulose affects the gastrointestinal system, it's a good idea to be cautious when combining it with other gastrointestinal medications. This includes medications that affect the motility (movement) of the intestines or those used to manage gastrointestinal conditions.
