AUZOXYLAC SOLUTION 200 ML

AUZOXYLAC SYRUP 200 ML

HIGHLY EFFECTIVE LAXATIVE

AUZOXYLAC Syrup is an oral solution commonly used to treat constipation and certain liver-related conditions, such as hepatic encephalopathy. Its main active ingredient is lactulose, a synthetic sugar that works as an osmotic laxative by drawing water into the bowel, thereby softening stools and making them easier to pass.

Main Uses

• Relief of constipation by promoting regular bowel movements.

• Supporting treatment for hepatic encephalopathy (a complication of liver disease).

• Can be used pre-operatively for bowel preparation.

How It Works

• Lactulose is not broken down in the upper digestive tract; it reaches the colon where bacteria convert it to acids that help draw water into the colon.

• This increases stool volume and softens consistency, stimulating natural bowel movement.

• In liver disease, lactulose reduces blood ammonia levels by drawing ammonia into the colon for excretion.

Dosage and Administration

• Adults usually start with 15–45 ml daily, adjusted down to 15–30 ml for maintenance.

• Children 7–14 years: 15 ml per day (adjusted as needed); 1–6 years: 5–10 ml per day; infants: up to 5 ml per day.

• For hepatic encephalopathy (adults), higher and more frequent doses may be required.

• AUZOXYLAC can be taken directly or diluted with water or juice and is best consumed at the same time each day.

Side Effects

• Common side effects include nausea, flatulence, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting.

• Adverse reactions often resolve with continued use or dose adjustment.

Safety Tips

• Drink plenty of fluids (6–8 glasses daily) for best results.

• Avoid use if allergic to lactulose or if there is intestinal blockage, galactosaemia, or digestive perforation.

• Use caution in people with diabetes, as high doses may affect glucose levels.

• Pregnant and breastfeeding women can generally use AUZOXYLAC, but always under medical supervision.

Special Precautions

• Do not use for unexplained abdominal pain or persistent symptoms without medical advice.

• Chronic use without dose adjustment can cause electrolyte imbalance and dehydration.

AUZOXYLAC syrup is effective for both children and adults, provided its use is guided by healthcare professionals and used as directed.
