✅ Description:
✔️ Uses of Osmolax Oral Solution
- Constipation
- Hepatic Encephalopathy
✔️ How does Osmolax Oral Solution work?
Osmolax works by drawing water into the intestine through osmosis, which makes the stool soft and easier to pass.
✔️ Side Effects of Osmolax Oral Solution
May cause flatulence, cramps, and abdominal discomfort initially; dose adjustment usually resolves this. Overuse can cause diarrhea and electrolyte loss, especially potassium.
✔️ Quick Suggestions:
- Osmolax is used in the treatment of constipation and hepatic encephalopathy.
- It should preferably be taken at bedtime as it requires 6 to 8 hours to show effect.
- It is usually taken once a day as needed for up to 2 weeks. Take it exactly as prescribed by the doctor.
- Some healthy tips to prevent constipation from happening:
- Take it at least 2 hours after taking other medicines, as it may interfere with the absorption of other medicines.
- Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach disorders such as appendicitis or a blockage in your bowel.
✔️ Indication of Osmolax Oral Solution
Osmolax 3.35 gm/5 ml Solution is a synthetic sugar that is used to treat constipation. This water helps in softening stools and reduces the amount of ammonia in the blood of patients with liver disease.
✔️ Pharmacology
Lactulose is metabolized in the colon, producing acids that lower pH and retain water by osmosis, promoting peristalsis. It is minimally absorbed, so its therapeutic effect is localized in the colon.
