Description

About Lactihep Syrup Lactihep Syrup belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Additionally, Lactihep 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. Lactihep 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 Lactihep Syrup as prescribed by your doctor. Try to take the Lactihep Syrup at a fixed time for the best results. You are advised to take Lactihep Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical conditions. You may experience certain common side effects in some cases, such as abdominal distension, cramps, and flatulence (gas). 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. To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Lactihep Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Drink plenty of fluids (at least 6-8 glasses) while taking Lactihep Syrup . Consult your doctor before taking Lactihep Syrup if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and your doctor will prescribe you Lactihep Syrup only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Inform your doctor if there is no bowel movement or if you find rectal bleeding after taking Lactihep Syrup . Do not take Lactihep Syrup for more than a week as it might cause dependency on Lactihep Syrup for a bowel movement.
