About This Medicine

Product description & overview

Livoluk Kid Oral Solution contains Lactulose 10gm per 15ml and is indicated primarily for the treatment of constipation in pediatric patients. Lactulose is a synthetic disaccharide that is not absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract but undergoes fermentation by colonic bacteria, resulting in the production of organic acids that increase osmotic pressure and promote water retention in the bowel. This osmotic effect softens stools and facilitates bowel movements, making it effective for managing chronic constipation and preventing fecal impaction. Additionally, Lactulose may be used to reduce blood ammonia levels in hepatic encephalopathy by acidifying the colon and converting ammonia to ammonium ions, which are less readily absorbed. Livoluk Kid Oral Solution is formulated to be palatable and easy to administer to children, ensuring compliance. The dosage should be individualized based on the severity of constipation and patient response, with careful monitoring to avoid excessive laxative effects such as diarrhea or electrolyte imbalance. It is generally well-tolerated, with minimal systemic absorption and a low incidence of adverse effects. Caution is advised in patients with galactosemia or intestinal obstruction. Livoluk Kid Oral Solution offers a safe and effective option for pediatric constipation management under medical supervision.

About Lactulose

Lactulose is a laxative used to treat constipation and hepatic encephalopathy. It works by drawing water into the bowel, softening stools, and reducing ammonia levels in the blood. Lactulose is effective in managing constipation and liver-related conditions. In summary, it plays a vital role in promoting bowel health.

How It Works

Lactulose is metabolized by colonic bacteria, producing organic acids that draw water into the colon and enhance stool passage.
