About Encelax Syrup

Encelax Syrup belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Additionally, Encelax Syrup is also used to prevent hepatic encephalopathy (decrease in brain function due to liver disease). Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful and hard to pass. Hepatic encephalopathy is a liver disease in which the liver does not remove the toxins from the body, which leads to loss of brain function.

Encelax Syrup contains Lactitol a disaccharide sugar that breaks down into low-molecular-weight organic acids in the colon, increasing the osmotic pressure. This causes an increase in water content in stools, and stool volume, thereby makes the stool softer and more comfortable to pass and provides relief from constipation. In patients with hepatic encephalopathy, lactitol lowers the colon pH, thereby suppresses the absorption of unionized ammonia and other toxins. It also enhances nitrogen excretion through faeces.

You are advised to take Encelax Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical conditions. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as abdominal distension, cramps, and flatulence (gas). Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Encelax Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Drink plenty of fluids (at least 6-8 glasses) while taking Encelax Syrup . Consult your doctor before taking Encelax Syrup if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, your doctor will prescribe you Encelax Syrup only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Inform your doctor if there is no bowel movement or if you find rectal bleeding after taking Encelax Syrup . Do not take Encelax Syrup for more than a week as it might cause dependency on Encelax Syrup for a bowel movement.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Constipation: It refers to infrequent bowel movements. The stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass. Constipation is a condition in which the person has fewer than three bowel movements in a week. However, bowel patterns may vary from person to person. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, and feeling as if the bowel movement is incomplete. Constipation occurs when the normal muscle contractions in the large intestine slow down, which causes the incomplete elimination of the bowel from the body. Constipation could be associated with a sudden change of diet, a diet with less fiber, not drinking enough liquids, lack of exercise, loss of tone of the bowel muscles in older people, or staying in bed for a longer duration. 

Liver encephalopathy: It is a liver disease in which the liver does not remove the toxins from the body, which leads to loss of brain function.
