KLEENLAC 120ML SYRUP

Kleenlac 120ml Syrup is a medication that contains Lactulose, which is a synthetic sugar derived from lactose. It is a laxative used to treat constipation and promote bowel movements. Lactulose is not digested or absorbed in the small intestine, and it reaches the colon unchanged. In the colon, it is fermented by gut bacteria, leading to an increase in stool bulk and softening of the stool, making it easier to pass.

Uses:

Kleenlac 120ml Syrup is used for the following purposes:

1. Constipation: It is prescribed to relieve and prevent constipation, a condition characterized by infrequent bowel movements, hard stools, and difficulty in passing stool.
2. Hepatic Encephalopathy: Lactulose is also used to manage hepatic encephalopathy, a condition that occurs in individuals with liver cirrhosis, where the liver’s ability to detoxify ammonia is impaired, leading to neurological symptoms.

Side Effects:

Kleenlac 120ml Syrup is generally safe when taken as directed. However, some individuals may experience mild side effects. These side effects are usually temporary and may include:

• Abdominal discomfort or cramps
• Flatulence (gas)
• Nausea or vomiting

If any of these side effects persist or become bothersome, consult your healthcare provider.

When Not to Use:

Kleenlac 120ml Syrup should not be used in the following circumstances:

• Galactosemia: Individuals with galactosemia, a rare genetic disorder where the body cannot metabolize galactose (a component of lactose), should avoid using Kleenlac Syrup.
• Bowel Obstruction: Do not use lactulose if you have a known or suspected bowel obstruction.

Precautions:

• Dosage: Follow the recommended dosage and instructions provided on the product packaging or as advised by your healthcare professional. Avoid exceeding the prescribed dose to prevent diarrhea.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using Kleenlac Syrup, as safety during these periods has not been fully established.

Interactions: Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid potential interactions.

It is essential to use Kleenlac 120ml Syrup as prescribed by your healthcare provider and not to self-medicate. If you experience any concerning side effects or have questions about the medication, consult your healthcare provider for appropriate guidance and management of your condition. Laxatives should be used judiciously and only as directed by a healthcare professional to avoid overuse and dependence.
