Eva Q Syrup 200 ml

Eva Q Syrup belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Additionally, Eva Q Syrup is also used to prevent hepatic encephalopathy (decreased 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 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 makes the stool softer and easier 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 feces. Benzoic acid acts as a preservative.

Take Eva Q Syrup as prescribed. You are advised to take Eva Q Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. You may experience certain common side effects in some cases, 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 Eva Q Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Drink plenty of fluids (at least 6-8 glasses) while taking Eva Q Syrup . Regularly monitor serum electrolytes, blood lactose, and blood glucose levels are advised. Talk to your doctor if there is no bowel movement or if you find rectal bleeding after taking Eva Q Syrup . Do not take Eva Q Syrup for more than a week as it might cause dependency on Eva Q Syrup for a bowel movement. Consult your doctor before taking Eva Q Syrup if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; your doctor will prescribe you Eva Q Syrup only if the benefits outweigh the risks.

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 bowel from the body. Constipation could be associated with a sudden change of diet, a diet with less fiber, not drinking enough liquids, and lack of exercise.

Hepatic 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.
