About Smuth L Orange Syrup

Smuth L Orange Syrup belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Additionally, Smuth L Orange Syrup is also used to prevent hepatic encephalopathy (decreased brain function due to liver disease). Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass. Hepatic encephalopathy is a liver disease in which the liver does not remove toxins from the body, which leads to loss of brain function.

Smuth L Orange Syrup contains Lactitol, a disaccharide sugar that breaks down into low-molecular-weight organic acids in the colon, increasing the osmotic pressure. This causes an increase in water content in stools, and stool volume, thereby makes the stool softer and more comfortable to pass and provides 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.

Take Smuth L Orange Syrup as prescribed by your doctor. Try to take the Smuth L Orange Syrup  at a fixed time for the best results. You are advised to take Smuth L Orange Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical conditions.

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
