Description

Aculac 3.35gm|5ml Suspension is an effective treatment for constipation, formulated with Lactulose as the active ingredient. This medicine works as a gentle and reliable laxative to relieve constipation by softening stool and promoting regular bowel movements. Aculac Suspension is also used to manage hepatic encephalopathy, a condition associated with liver disease, by reducing ammonia levels in the blood and improving brain function. With a dosage strength of 3.35gm of Lactulose per 5ml, Aculac offers a practical solution for both short-term and long-term digestive health concerns.

Functions

Aculac Suspension functions by increasing the water content in the bowel, which softens stools and makes it easier to pass them, effectively relieving constipation. It works by promoting bowel movements and improving the consistency of stools, providing relief from discomfort caused by hard stools. Additionally, Aculac helps in the management of hepatic encephalopathy by reducing blood ammonia levels, which is vital for individuals with liver disease, preventing further deterioration of brain function.

Precautions

Before using Aculac Suspension, consult your doctor if you have any concerns, especially if you are lactose intolerant, as Lactulose is derived from milk sugars. It is also important to increase fluid and fiber intake while using this medication to ensure optimal results. Aculac should not be taken if you are experiencing abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting, as these could be signs of a more serious condition. Always follow the prescribed dosage, and do not take other laxatives concurrently unless advised by your healthcare provider.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Aculac Suspension include flatulence (gas) and meteorism (bloating), which are typical of laxatives and may resolve as your body adjusts to the medication. Some individuals may experience mild abdominal discomfort or cramping. If these symptoms persist or if you experience more serious side effects, such as diarrhea or dehydration, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Cautions

Aculac Suspension is contraindicated in individuals with galactosemia, a rare genetic disorder that affects the metabolism of galactose, and in patients with intestinal obstruction (blockage in the intestines). If you have a history of gastrointestinal issues or undiagnosed abdominal pain, consult your doctor before using this medication. It is important to store Aculac at room temperature, away from children, and to avoid exposure to light or moisture. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using this medication, as its safety during pregnancy and lactation is not fully established.
