BOLAC Syrup, a trusted product by SRR Medical, contains Lactulose, a highly effective laxative designed to manage constipation and support patients with hepatic encephalopathy. It works by improving bowel movements and reducing toxins in the bloodstream, thus enhancing cognitive functions in patients with liver-related issues.

Uses of BOLAC Syrup

• Constipation: Provides gentle and effective relief for infrequent, hard, or dry bowel movements.
• Hepatic Encephalopathy: Improves brain function in patients with liver disease by reducing ammonia levels in the blood.

How BOLAC Works

• Constipation Relief: BIOLAC softens stools by drawing water into the bowel, making them easier to pass.
• Cognitive Support: It helps remove toxins like ammonia from the bloodstream, improving mental clarity and reducing symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy.
