Looz Syrup is a brand name for lactulose syrup, a type of laxative used to treat constipation and hepatic encephalopathy. Here's detailed information about it:

Composition:

Active Ingredient: Lactulose


Mechanism of Action:

Constipation: Lactulose is broken down in the colon into mild acids, which draw water into the bowel, softening stools and making them easier to pass.

Hepatic Encephalopathy: Lactulose helps reduce the amount of ammonia in the blood by converting ammonia to ammonium, which is then excreted from the body.


Indications:

Chronic Constipation: Helps in relieving constipation.

Hepatic Encephalopathy: Used to treat or prevent complications of liver disease (e.g., confusion, altered level of consciousness) caused by high ammonia levels.


Dosage:

The dosage varies based on the condition being treated and patient-specific factors.

Constipation: Typically 15-30 ml daily, can be adjusted based on response.

Hepatic Encephalopathy: 30-45 ml, taken 3-4 times a day, adjusted to achieve 2-3 soft stools per day.


Side Effects:

Common side effects include bloating, gas, stomach cramps, and diarrhea.

Excessive dosage can lead to electrolyte imbalances due to prolonged diarrhea.


Precautions:

Not suitable for individuals with a low-galactose diet.

Caution is advised in patients with diabetes due to its sugar content.

Hydration should be maintained to avoid dehydration, especially in elderly patients.


Interactions:

Antacids may reduce the effectiveness of lactulose.

Avoid taking other laxatives concurrently without medical advice.


Storage:

Store at room temperature, away from direct light and moisture.

Keep out of reach of children.


Contraindications:

Patients with a known allergy to lactulose.
