Laevolac Arome Prune

Lactulose, the active ingredient in Laevolac Arome Prune, is an osmotic laxative presented as a liquid for oral use. It treats constipation and helps prevent hepatic encephalopathy in patients with liver disease.\n\nGNH India supplies Laevolac Arome Prune as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Lactulose is employed as an osmotic laxative to manage bowel motility disorders and hepatic encephalopathy.\n\n- Constipation: softens stools and promotes regular bowel movements.\n- Hepatic encephalopathy: lowers blood ammonia levels, reducing the risk of neuro‑cognitive episodes.\n- Portal‑systemic encephalopathy: assists in ammonia trapping, supporting liver‑related neurological health.

Lactulose may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.\n\nCommon Side Effects:\n- Abdominal cramping\n- Flatulence\n- Diarrhea\n- Nausea\n- Bloating\n- Increased thirst\n\nSerious or Rare Side Effects:\n- Severe electrolyte imbalance (e.g., hyponatremia)\n- Dehydration\n- Allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling)\n- Persistent abdominal pain\n- Hepatic decompensation in advanced liver disease

When using lactulose, certain precautions help ensure safety and effectiveness.\n\n- Dose adjustment: modify dose in renal impairment and monitor electrolytes.\n- Fluid intake: maintain adequate hydration to reduce risk of dehydration.\n- Electrolyte monitoring: watch for hyponatremia or potassium shifts during prolonged therapy.\n- Pregnancy: safety not established; use only if clearly needed after risk‑benefit assessment.\n- Store at ambient temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture and light.

Lactulose can interact with other medicines, affecting its efficacy or safety.\n\nMajor Interactions (Avoid):\n- Antibiotics such as rifaximin: may reduce lactulose’s ammonia‑trapping effect.\n- Antidiarrheal agents (e.g., loperamide): can counteract the laxative action.\n- Mineral oil: may interfere with colonic fermentation of lactulose.\n\nModerate Interactions (Monitor Closely):\n- Diuretics: increase risk of electrolyte disturbances; monitor serum levels.\n- Insulin or oral hypoglycemics: lactulose may affect glucose control; observe blood sugar.\n- Probiotics: may enhance gas production, leading to increased flatulence.
