What is Avolac

Avolac is a type of sugar. It is broken down in the large intestine into mild acids that draw water into the colon, which helps soften the stools.
Avolac is used to treat chronic constipation.
Avolac is sometimes used to treat or prevent certain conditions of the brain that are caused by liver failure, which can lead to confusion, problems with memory or thinking, behavior changes, tremors, feeling irritable, sleep problems, loss of coordination, and loss of consciousness.
Avolac may also be used for purposes not listed in Avolac guide.

Avolac side effects

Stop using Avolac and call your doctor at once if you have severe or ongoing diarrhea.
Less serious side effects may include:

• bloating, gas;
• stomach pain;
• diarrhea; or
• nausea, vomiting.

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
