Description:
Smuth Syrup contains lactulose, a synthetic disaccharide sugar that acts as an osmotic laxative. Lactulose is not absorbed in the small intestine; instead, it passes into the colon where it is fermented by colonic bacteria. This fermentation process produces short-chain fatty acids, which increase the osmotic pressure in the colon, drawing water into the bowel.
The increased water content softens the stool and increases its volume, stimulating peristalsis (the muscle contractions that move stool through the intestines), thereby promoting bowel movement and relieving constipation. Smuth Syrup is a gentle laxative often used for chronic constipation and hepatic encephalopathy (a condition affecting brain function due to liver disease).
For constipation, it typically takes 24-48 hours to produce an effect. The dosage depends on the age and the severity of the condition. Common side effects may include flatulence, abdominal bloating, and cramps, especially at the beginning of treatment or with higher doses. These side effects usually subside as the body adjusts to the medication. It is important to maintain adequate fluid intake while using lactulose.
