Active composition
Lactulose
How It Works
Lactulose is metabolized by colonic bacteria, producing organic acids that draw water into the colon and enhance stool passage.
Uses & Benefits
Medical applications
Diabetes
Lactopil Oral Solution contains Lactulose 10gm per 15ml, a synthetic disaccharide used primarily as an osmotic laxative. It is indicated for the treatment of chronic constipation and hepatic encephalopathy. Lactulose works by increasing the osmotic pressure in the colon, thereby drawing water into the bowel and softening stools, which facilitates easier defecation. Additionally, in hepatic encephalopathy, Lactulose reduces blood ammonia levels by acidifying the colon contents, converting ammonia (NH3) into ammonium (NH4+), which is less readily absorbed.
