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
Laxitol Syrup, containing Lactitol 3.33 gm per 5 ml, is an osmotic laxative indicated for the treatment of constipation. Lactitol is a synthetic disaccharide that is poorly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in increased osmotic pressure within the bowel lumen. This action promotes water retention in the colon, softening stools and stimulating bowel movements. Laxitol Syrup is particularly useful in patients with chronic constipation or those requiring bowel preparation prior to diagnostic procedures.

It is generally well tolerated, with onset of action typically occurring within 24 to 48 hours after administration. The dosage should be individualized based on patient response and clinical condition, with careful monitoring to avoid excessive use that may lead to electrolyte imbalance or dehydration. Common adverse effects include abdominal discomfort, flatulence, and diarrhea, which usually resolve with dose adjustment.
Laxitol Syrup should be used cautiously in patients with intestinal obstruction, inflammatory bowel disease, or hypersensitivity to lactitol. It is contraindicated in cases of acute surgical abdomen. Adequate hydration should be maintained during therapy. Laxitol Syrup offers a safe and effective option for managing constipation, enhancing patient comfort and bowel regularity.
