About Eva Q Syrup 100 ml

Eva Q Syrup 100 ml belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Additionally, Eva Q Syrup 100 ml 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.

Eva Q Syrup 100 ml is a combination of two drugs: Lactitol (laxative) and benzoic acid (organic compound). Lactitol causes an increase in water content in stools and stool volume, thereby making the stool softer and easier to pass and providing relief from constipation. In patients with hepatic encephalopathy, lactitol lowers the colon pH, thereby suppressing the absorption of unionized ammonia and other toxins. It also enhances nitrogen excretion through faeces. Benzoic acid acts as a preservative.

You are advised to take Eva Q Syrup 100 ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. 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.

Regularly monitoring of serum electrolytes, blood lactose and blood glucose levels is advised. Talk to your doctor if there is no bowel movement or if you find rectal bleeding after taking Eva Q Syrup 100 ml. Do not take Eva Q Syrup 100 ml for more than a week as it might cause dependency on Eva Q Syrup 100 ml for a bowel movement. Consult your doctor before taking Eva Q Syrup 100 ml if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, your doctor will prescribe you Eva Q Syrup 100 ml only if the benefits outweigh the risks.

Medicinal Benefits

Eva Q Syrup 100 ml belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Additionally, Eva Q Syrup 100 ml is also used to prevent hepatic encephalopathy (decrease in brain function due to liver disease). Eva Q Syrup 100 ml is a combination of two drugs: Lactitol (laxative) and benzoic acid (organic compound). Lactitol is a disaccharide sugar. It works by breaking down into low-molecular-weight organic acids in the colon, which increases the osmotic pressure. This causes an increase in water content in stools and stool volume, thereby making the stool softer and easier to pass and providing relief from constipation. In patients with hepatic encephalopathy, lactitol lowers the colon pH, thereby suppressing the absorption of unionized ammonia and other toxins. It also enhances nitrogen excretion through faeces. Benzoic acid acts as a preservative.
