Uses / Indications:
Evict Syrup is prescribed for:
Constipation (either short-term or long-term)
Hepatic encephalopathy (confusion caused by liver failure)
Regulating the bowels after surgery
For problems like piles (hemorrhoids) and anal fissures, softening stool is helpful.
Detoxifying the colon before colon operations (with medical supervision)
Pregnancy interaction:
Safety: When used as directed by a doctor, Evict Syrup is safe to use during pregnancy.
It works in the colon without getting into the bloodstream, so it doesn't hurt the developing fetus.
Use: Often given to pregnant women who are constipated, which is typical because of changes in hormones and food.
Warning: Use the lowest dose that works, and make sure you drink enough water.
While nursing
Lactulose is safe to take when breastfeeding.
There is very little or no amount that gets into breast milk, and it doesn't hurt the baby.
After using, keep feeding normally.
Expert advice:
To keep your regularity, take Evict Syrup at the same time every day.
To make it work better, drink a lot of water (1.5 to 2 liters every day).
If you take more than the recommended dose, you may get diarrhea or stomach pain.
Don't take it with antacids right before or after, because they can make Evict Syrup less effective.
You must take it at the same time daily, with or without food.
If you have diabetes, talk to your doctor before using Evict Syrup because it has a little quantity of sugar.
Contact your physician if your stomach pain worsens or if you experience constipation for longer than five to seven days.
Side Effects:
Gas or bloating (flatulence)
Cramps in the stomach
Light diarrhea
Feeling sick
Not as common or serious:
Severe diarrhea that causes dehydration
Electrolyte imbalance (uncommon, with extended use)
Pain in the stomach or throwing up (if you take too much)
If you have loose stools, lower the dose. If adverse symptoms don't go away, talk to your doctor.
How to use:
Use a spoon or measuring cup to get the dose right.
Take it by mouth once or twice a day, as directed.
You can take it with or without food.
During the day, drink a lot of fluids.
If the syrup is overly sweet, add water, milk, or fruit juice to it to make it less sweet.
Take lactulose at the same time every day for the best benefits.
Normal Dose:
Adults (Constipation): 15–45 mL daily (10–30 gm of lactulose), adjusted based on how well it works.
Hepatic Encephalopathy: 30–45 mL (20–30 gm) two or three times a day, with the amount changed to get 2–3 soft stools a day.
How it works:
Evict Syrup is a synthetic disaccharide created from lactose that the small intestine cannot absorb.
Bacteria break it down into organic acids (lactic acid, acetic acid) when it gets to the colon.
Add more water to the stool to make it softer and easier to pass.
Encourage natural bowel movements.
In liver disease, these acids change ammonia (NH₃) into ammonium (NH₄⁺), which the body can't absorb. This lowers the amount of ammonia in the blood.
So, Evict Syrup works as both a laxative and a way to get rid of toxins in liver problems.
Faq for medicine:
Q1. What is Evict Syrup used for?
It is used to treat excessive blood ammonia levels in liver illnesses, including hepatic encephalopathy, and to help with constipation.
Q2: How long does it take to work?
It normally takes 8 to 12 hours for a bowel movement to happen, but it might take up to 24 to 48 hours for the full impact.
Q3. Is it appropriate to take Evict Syrup every day?
Yes, a doctor can tell you to take it every day if you have chronic constipation. It doesn't make you want to do it again.
Q4. Is it safe for kids to take Evict Syrup?
Yes. It is safe and often given to kids in smaller amounts.
Q5. Is it safe to take Evict Syrup when pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes, it is thought to be safe for both.
Q6. What should I do if I forget to take a dose?
As soon as you recall, take it. Don't double the dosage if it's almost time for your next dose. Just skip the one you missed.
Q7. Is it permitted to mix Evict Syrup with other liquids?
Yes. You can blend it with milk, juice, or water to hide the sweetness.
Medicine interaction:
Antibiotics like neomycin and metronidazole may make Evict Syrup less effective by altering the microorganisms in the gut.
Antacids (Magnesium/Aluminum hydroxide): These can make the colon less acidic, which makes them less effective.
Other laxatives: These may make you more likely to become dehydrated and have an electrolyte imbalance.
Small Interactions:
Diabetic medications: These may have a small amount of sugar in them, which could change glucose levels. Be careful when using them.
Important: Always tell your doctor about all the additional medicines you take, even if they are herbal or over-the-counter.
