Lactifiber Syrup

Product Introduction

Lactifiber Syrup is used to treat constipation and to manage or prevent hepatic encephalopathy. It works by drawing water into the intestine, softening the stool, and making it easier to pass.

It can be taken with or without food, mixed with water or fruit juice if preferred. Take it at the same time each day for the best effect. Do not exceed the prescribed dose. It usually takes at least 48 hours to work. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond 3 days.

Benefits

When taken regularly, it improves brain function and reduces symptoms such as confusion, tremors, and sleep problems.
