लैक्सिटोल सिरप 200 मिली

Laxitol Syrup is used to treat constipation. Additionally, it is also used to prevent hepatic encephalopathy (decrease in brain function due to liver disease). It contains Lactitol and Benzoic acid, which increases water content in stools and stool volume, thereby making the stool softer and easier to pass and providing relief from constipation. In patients with hepatic encephalopathy, lactitol lowers the colon pH, thereby suppressing the absorption of unionized ammonia and other toxins. It also enhances nitrogen excretion through faeces. Benzoic acid acts as a preservative. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as abdominal distension, cramps and flatulence (gas). Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
