About this product

Overview

Kolac Syrup contains Lactulose, a synthetic sugar used as a laxative to treat constipation. It is a type of osmotic laxative that works by drawing water into the colon, softening the stool and increasing bowel movements.

Uses

  • Kolac Syrup is prescribed to relieve constipation by promoting regular bowel movements.
  • It is also used to treat hepatic encephalopathy, a complication of liver disease characterized by confusion, altered consciousness, and coma. Lactulose helps reduce the production and absorption of ammonia in the intestines, thereby lowering ammonia levels in the blood and improving symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy.

How It Works

  • Lactulose, the active ingredient in Kolac Syrup, is not absorbed by the body but passes through the digestive system intact.
  • In the colon, it is broken down by bacteria into short-chain fatty acids and gases, which draw water into the colon and soften the stool.
  • This process increases the volume and frequency of bowel movements, relieving constipation.

Dosage

  • The dosage of Kolac Syrup is determined by the healthcare provider based on factors such as the patient’s age, medical condition, and response to treatment.
  • It is usually taken orally, with or without food.
  • The recommended starting dose for constipation in adults is typically 15 to 30ml (10 to 20g) once daily, with the dose adjusted as needed to produce soft stools.

Precautions

  • Kolac Syrup should be used with caution in patients with diabetes, as it contains sugar and may affect blood glucose levels.
  • It may take 24 to 48 hours for Kolac Syrup to produce a bowel movement. Therefore, it is not suitable for the rapid relief of constipation.
  • Patients should be advised to drink plenty of fluids while taking Lactulose to prevent dehydration.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Kolac Syrup may include abdominal cramps, flatulence, bloating, and diarrhea. Less common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, and electrolyte imbalance. Serious adverse reactions are rare but possible.

When Not to Use

  • Kolac Syrup is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity or allergy to Lactulose or any components of the formulation.
  • It should not be used in patients with galactosemia, a rare genetic disorder, as Lactulose is metabolized into galactose in the body.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take for Kolac Syrup to work?

It may take 24 to 48 hours for Kolac Syrup to produce a bowel movement. Patients should continue taking it as directed by their healthcare provider, even if they do not see immediate results.

Can Kolac Syrup be taken with other medications?

Lactulose may reduce the absorption of other medications taken orally. Therefore, it is recommended to take other medications at least 2 hours before or after taking Kolac Syrup to avoid interactions.

Is Kolac Syrup safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Lactulose is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using any medication.
