Hilac ( Lactulose syrup 120 ml )

Hilac (Lactulose Syrup 120 ml) is a trusted, effective solution for relieving constipation and managing hepatic encephalopathy in patients with liver disease. Its gentle, non-addictive formula makes it safe for long-term use in both adults and children. As always, consult with your healthcare provider to ensure the proper dosage and usage for your specific condition. When used as directed, Hilac provides relief from uncomfortable digestive issues while supporting better overall health.

Hilac (Lactulose Syrup) is an effective medication used to treat chronic constipation and manage symptoms associated with hepatic encephalopathy, a liver-related brain condition. Lactulose, the active ingredient, is a synthetic sugar that works by drawing water into the intestines, softening the stool, and making bowel movements easier. This gentle syrup is ideal for patients who need a safe, non-habit-forming solution to digestive issues and liver-related complications.

Key Features and Benefits:

  • Effective Constipation Relief:
    Hilac helps soften stools and promotes regular bowel movements, offering relief from chronic constipation within 24-48 hours.
  • Management of Hepatic Encephalopathy:
    For patients with liver disease, Hilac reduces the absorption of toxins like ammonia from the gut, helping improve mental clarity and prevent the progression of encephalopathy.
  • Gentle and Safe:
    Suitable for long-term use when prescribed by a healthcare professional, Hilac does not irritate the intestines, making it ideal for patients of all ages.
  • Versatile for All Age Groups:
    Hilac can be used by both adults and children, but the dosage should be carefully followed as per the healthcare provider’s guidance.
  • Non-Addictive Formula:
    Lactulose works without causing dependency, making it safe for regular use under medical supervision.

Precautions:

  • Consult your doctor before using Hilac if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have underlying conditions such as diabetes, as it may affect blood sugar levels.
  • Hilac should not be used by individuals with a bowel obstruction, galactosemia (a rare metabolic disorder), or any known allergy to lactulose.
  • Always use the syrup according to the prescribed dosage. Overuse may lead to electrolyte imbalances or dehydration, especially in elderly patients or those with kidney issues.

Possible Side Effects:

While Hilac is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience mild side effects, including:

  • Bloating or gas
  • Abdominal discomfort or cramping
  • Diarrhea, particularly if too high a dose is taken
  • Nausea

If side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.
