Active composition
Lactitol
How It Works
Lactitol is metabolized in the colon to short-chain fatty acids, increasing osmotic pressure and water content in the stool, facilitating defecation.
Uses & Benefits
Medical applications
Diabetes
Lacsyp Syrup contains Lactitol (66.67% w/v) as its active ingredient, a synthetic disaccharide used primarily as an osmotic laxative. It is indicated for the treatment of chronic constipation and for bowel cleansing prior to diagnostic procedures such as colonoscopy. Lactitol works by drawing water into the colon, thereby softening stools and stimulating bowel movements through increased peristalsis.

This mechanism facilitates easier and more regular defecation without causing significant electrolyte imbalance or dependence. Lacsyp Syrup is generally well tolerated, with common adverse effects including mild abdominal discomfort, bloating, flatulence, and diarrhea at higher doses. It is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to lactitol or other sugar alcohols, intestinal obstruction, or acute surgical abdomen.
Caution is advised in patients with diabetes mellitus due to its carbohydrate content. The syrup should be administered orally, with dosage individualized based on patient response and clinical condition. Adequate hydration is recommended during treatment to enhance efficacy and minimize side effects. Lacsyp Syrup offers a safe and effective option for managing constipation, improving patient comfort and bowel regularity in both acute and chronic settings.
