Uses & Benefits
Medical applications
Pain
Lactigol Granules is a dual-action laxative formulation containing Lactitol 10 gm and Ispaghula 3.5 gm per dose, designed to effectively manage constipation and promote regular bowel movements. Lactitol, a synthetic disaccharide, acts as an osmotic laxative by drawing water into the colon, thereby softening stools and facilitating easier passage. Ispaghula, derived from the husk of Plantago ovata seeds, is a bulk-forming fiber that absorbs water and increases stool volume, stimulating peristalsis and enhancing bowel motility.

The combination of Lactitol and Ispaghula provides both osmotic and bulk-forming mechanisms, offering a balanced approach to constipation relief. Lactigol Granules are indicated for short-term treatment of chronic constipation, prevention of straining during defecation, and management of conditions requiring soft stools, such as hemorrhoids or post-operative care. The formulation is generally well-tolerated, with minimal systemic absorption, making it suitable for long-term use under medical supervision.
Patients should be advised to maintain adequate hydration during therapy to optimize efficacy and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort. Lactigol Granules should be used with caution in individuals with intestinal obstruction, hypersensitivity to components, or severe abdominal pain of unknown origin.
