EVICT Syrup

DESCRIPTION

EVICT Syrup (also often referred to as Evict Oral Solution) is a medication primarily used as a laxative.

Key Information:

• Active Ingredient: The main active ingredient in EVICT Syrup is Lactulose.
• Therapeutic Class: It belongs to the class of osmotic laxatives.

Primary Uses:

1. Constipation: It is widely used to treat chronic constipation.
   • How it works: Lactulose is a synthetic sugar that is not absorbed in the small intestine. When it reaches the colon, it draws water into the bowel through osmosis. This softens the stools and makes them easier to pass, promoting regular bowel movements.
2. Hepatic Encephalopathy (Liver Condition): It is also used in the management and prevention of this condition.
   • How it works: Hepatic encephalopathy is a decline in brain function that occurs as a result of severe liver disease, where the liver can’t properly remove toxins (like ammonia) from the blood. Lactulose helps reduce the amount of ammonia in the blood by drawing it from the blood into the colon, where it is then removed with the feces.

Important Note:

• This is a prescription or over-the-counter medicine and should be taken as advised by a healthcare professional. It can take at least 48 hours to start working for constipation.
• Common side effects may include flatulence (gas), abdominal pain, nausea, or diarrhea.
• It is generally recommended to drink plenty of fluids while taking this medication.
